Brutal Maze screenshot

The game features a trigon trapped in an infinite maze. As our hero tries to escape, the maze's border turns into aggressive squares trying to stop per. Your job is to help the trigon fight against those evil squares and find a way out (if there is any). Be aware that the more get killed, the more will show up and our hero will get weaker when wounded.

Plugins

Vicious

Vicious is a modular widget library for window managers, but mostly catering to users of the awesome window manager. It was derived from the old wicked widget library, and has some of the old wicked widget types, a few of them rewritten, and a good number of new ones.

Vicious widget types are a framework for creating your own widgets. Vicious contains modules that gather data about your system, and a few awesome helper functions that make it easier to register timers, suspend widgets and so on. Vicious doesn't depend on any third party Lua library, but may depend on additional system utilities.

Alful

Alful is a six-line extension making Firefox Quantum open all windows in fullscreen to hide the toolbars in windowed mode (full-screen-api.ignore-widgets = true). All credits go to tazeat, who wrote the original version and suggested the change to achieve the current behavior.
