Cast By Light

Control the light, to find your light. Cast By Light is a 2D single player puzzle game created for arcade and mobile. The player controls the sun with a rotating dial, creating shadows in the game to solve environmental puzzles to help the protagonist of the game Ann to find her lost partner in a grueling world where the sun is dangerous and the only way is to navigate through the shadows. Can you help Ann to find the way?

Cast by Light was awarded the Jury Spotlight Award at the GGC 2019!

Snowdown

Penguins, snowball cannons and a massive ego. This is an arcade game where penguins defeat each other with big fancy cannons in a competitive showdown.

A penguin with a snow cannon represents the player inside the game world. Each player starts with a certain amount of ammunition in their cannon and starts shooting at each other while dodging the other players’ shots. When a player presses the shoot button on the cannon input, a snowball is also fired in the game. To aim where you shoot the snowball, the player must rotate their physical cannon. The ammunition can be reloaded by putting “snowballs” through a tube. When a player runs out of ammunition, they then make the decision to either run to the “snowball” basket for more ammunition and risk getting hit by the enemy or wait until the enemy is out of ammunition themselves and then run to reload.

The game also adds an extra challenge by having randomly spawning covers. The first player to deplete the others health points wins. Some of the more interesting tools we have used include lasers and sensors in order to make the in-game reloading by putting the balls through the tube.

Snowdown won Best Arcade Experience at the Gotland Game Conference 2019.

Marshmallow Bonfire

A game which is meant to motivate people to get over differences and just support each other with their strengths. A dragon and a raccoon use their similarities and their differences to achieve goals they could never reach alone. They drag each other across ground, they cannot walk on. They throw each other on places, they could not reach alone. But most importantly, the raccoon uses his marshmallow collection to create newly reachable paths and the dragon uses his fire to open up paths.
