The Hand Eye Mixtape Vol 1 Is Here and Vol 2 is Open for Submissions!

We’re excited to say that the very first Mixtape is here!

The Hand Eye Society Mixtape is a new initiative that highlights the rich diversity of the indie games by bundling several games together to download for free. Curated by Hand Eye Society staff, this Mixtape features 5 unique games for you to explore! The Mixtape is an anthology with a paid honorarium of $50CAD, distributed for free! It was a ton of fun to check out everyone’s submissions, and we hope you enjoy playing through these games.

Tram Panic

Welcome to Toronto, City of Dreams, filled with people that have places to be and it’s up to YOU to make sure everyone gets to their destination. As a Streetcar Operator, go around and pick up passengers, deliver them to Stations for points and beat your goal before the time runs out!

Choose from 3 different level lengths and get a randomized level. With a different map and environment, you’ll be at a different location of the city every time!

Dressing To Impress A (Probably Not?) Magical Prince(-Like Transfer Student)!

by littlerat.

It’s the night of the school dance… and the (probably not) magical prince(-like transfer student) is coming! Lottie‘s never dressed up for a school dance before, but there’s no time like the present, right?! Help Lottie get ready for the dance so she can have the best one of her life!

It’s with the support of our generous membership, the Toronto Arts Council, and the Ontario Arts Council that we’re able to run things like the Mixtape.

Thank you for all that you do and more to make initiatives like this possible!
