About
Hello there! I'm Terry Cavanagh, and I'm a game designer. Maybe you've played some of my games before? I made the C64-inspired gravity-flipping platformer VVVVVV, the minimal action game Super Hexagon, and the dice placement dungeon crawler Dicey Dungeons.
Those are my commercial releases. But I've been making games since I was a kid, and along the way I've worked on a lot of stuff! Most of these games are very hard to get running nowadays, even some of the ones that are only a few years old - computers change and things slowly break.
Making these other games has always been a really important part of how I work, and they include some of my very favourite projects. So I decided to bring some of the best of them together in one big easy-to-play collection, as "Terry's Other Games"! It's a little window into what making indie games has been like for me, from where I started to where I am now.
The collection includes a few reasonably substantial games, including:
Don't Look Back: a retro platformer from the Flash game era
At a Distance: an exploration/puzzle game for two players
Naya's Quest: an isometric puzzle game about weird perspectives
Tiny Heist: a fun and fairly tricky roguelike stealth game
Mr Platformer: he jump on the platforms
But it also includes a bunch of smaller, messier games - experimental games made in a weekend, an unfinished prototype, joke games I made for game jams, a game I made as a teenager. Here are a few titles at random: The Hunt, Radio Silence, A Proper Cup of Tea, memrrtiks suashem, Maverick Bird.
I hope you find something here you like!

An amazing collection. Maverick Bird is incredible, and the Tea Making sim is majestic, but my favourite Terry game of all time is Don’t Look Back, which predates VVVVVV. Don’t Look Back is one of those tiny games that contains incredible feeling, atmosphere and game design. It has incredible style and pacing and a wonderful melancholy, with a truly satisfying conclusion. I play through it every couple of years and I like it more each time.
Loving this release. Really enjoying getting to play all these games from one of my favourite game makers
Don't look back is a game I liked so much back in the days that I had actively tried playing it again in the past, with flash emulators, without success. I'm so happy I could play it again. And listen to a chiptune version of the theme in the credits of this collection :O Happy to try the other games soon

wonderful collection of games! glad he decided to make some of these playable again! it's a nice little launcher with personal anecdotes (love it), and relatively bare-bones (not much in the way of "special features") which is okay! the only nitpick i have is that the mouse cursor doesn't disappear, and that's pretty much it. my absolute favourites are Don't Look Back, Naya's Quest, and FINE because the atmosphere is transcendental (At a Distance would probably fit here but i don't have a second player to experience it with me right now). also loved Mr. Platformer, Let's play a boardgame, Hero's Adventure, and A Proper Cup of Tea. i'm at the point where i'm happy with what i've played with the collection. i doubt i'll ever clear Tiny Heist, The Hunt, and Copycat, but i will likely return to play some of the endless games and hopefully someday solve Harmonilr.
A fun, unique collection of indie titles. It runs perfectly on Steam Deck. There are stars for each title if you achieve certain things which is a nice feature.
Lots of variety! Especially good for people who enjoy arcade-like games
Some fun, early games from a great indie programmer. If you haven't yet player Dicey Dungeons, VVVVVV, or Super Hexagon, check those games out. They're brilliant. DD in particular has given me and both my kids hundreds of hours of fun. Are these games even on the same scale, or from an objective standpoint a must buy on Steam? Not really. But they have some fun ideas and are interesting to play from a video-game design perspective. Consider these a very generous reward for supporting a talented designer. Hopefully they'll go toward paying his rent or lunch while he works on Dicey Dungeons 2 or a totally new project.
grab them by the eyes is actually great
I bought this game to play Maverick Bird.
This is such a wonderful experience. I played some of Terry's games as they released, but gladly play them again in this anthology, the perfect way to experience all of them.
