16 Bit Arena, an always-free game but one which relies on (and has long since lacked) active users, has removed the installation capability for new users and will be removing all else sometime after 90 days have passed. Thank you for your understanding and past plays of 16 Bit Arena!
The Mind Hero now on Steam Greenlight
By the same main developer as 16 Bit Arena, The Mind Hero is now on Steam Greenlight. This unique single-player comic-style visual novel will teach actual psychology subtly within the story, and allow you to enter the minds of eight individuals to help them. The trailer as well as the intro (interactive from your PC's browser) are both available on themindhero.com
The Mind Hero now in development
By the same main developer as 16 Bit Arena, The Mind Hero is now being developed. It is to be a single-player puzzle/platformer/dating sim created as a PC game and an app, and here's the kicker: as you venture through the minds of the girls, you're subtly learning actual psychological concepts that can be useful in real life.

Boss battles!
The Champion has arrived! If you've collected 16 Cards & Gems, you can be a Champion for a Boss battle against multiple characters. Bring forth lions (which can attack and protect you, and you can boost and revive them), cut your enemies to shreds with your double swords, blast them with magic, auto-revive (at a cost) and more! See the Arena guide for full details.
