Still not open source many hours later after multiple people said to put a license on it. Calling something open source when its not is really not okay, and it is hurting free and open source software.

What would you call it? Source available?

I would personally just called it a video game. Free and Open source a issue of copy right. If there's still full copyright (and there's copy right on everything published nomatter if it is explicitly claimed or not) with no license on a piece of software, it has nothing to do with open source.

But source available would be the term to use if one wants to point out that the source is on github.

semantics, "source available" is for closed software that's willing to make source available to their customers. For instance, Microsoft windows is not open source, but if you're an important enough customer, they will make the source available to you. open means there's no restricting for you to read the code.
