FKR is old enough to drink.
You may know the drill already. Swing around that S-trojan, smack into antiviruses, cause bursts of colour.
At this point it's just tradition, but I've made an FKR every single year since 2007 and some things are doomed to continue forever.

You are a black hat hacker, and you just discovered your newest venture: a newly-upgraded prison complex with all-digital security. Each cell is protected through a light lock that can be picked remotely through refraction and colour filtering.
Prisnhax is a relaxing yet challenging puzzle game with 50 levels. Learn the intricacies of mirrors, splitters and prisms, which sometimes also act as filters for primary colours to pass through or reflect off of. Direct balls of light into the correctly-coloured finishes to open the cells and break out the prisoners.
Prisnhax features move goals for each prison and global stat tracking, and can be played with a mouse or a gamepad (PC) or with pro controllers or Joy Con (Nintendo Switch).

Suck. Blow. Up you go.
Take your cleaning up to the literal next level with Vac-a-Doodle-Doo, the tower-ascending, brain-bending cleaner that runs out of charge quicker than those batteries I bought from that pound shop down the road.
Feather your suck, tap your blow, keep yourself charged, and don't falter over a chasm - you might fall three quarters of the entire game back down.

I had a likely-stress-induced prolactin spike show up on a blood test this week, so I have been asked to de-stress, take time off everything, and have my blood tested again next week.
But I have a gm48-entering streak to maintain, damnit. :(

It's the 16th annual FKR - one every year since 2007 - and this time... it's ever so slightly different. They all are. That's the point.
Take control of the S-trojan and swing around programs to destroy defensive antiviruses or something.

Spell the names of fish while casting your rod to make impressive catches, and learn entirely accurate statistics and fun facts about a funny number of your favourite swimmers. Now that's magical.
Game created in the 48 hour period; all the art was generated using OpenAI DALL-E. That's why it looks so doofy. Also ate away like 40 of my credits. I was saving those for making funnies. Grr.

Catapult your way up a hectic, grinder-filled tower of slings in "Sling for the Level", a procedurally-generated fast-paced arcade game.
Tap/click and hold (anywhere) to start pulling the current sling, move your finger/mouse back to aim your shot and decide its power, and let go to ping yourself at high velocity towards the next sling.
Navigate sling wheels, bumpers and escalators in your way to the top - but don't fall or take too long, as an ever-ascending inescapable grinder is ready to chomp you up!
