Moccoletti

Moccoletti is a 2-4 player arena-style game with full controller support, where players will run around a garden maze, trying to deplete one another’s candle by shooting gusts of wind, navigating, dodging, or hiding in the dark to avoid the same happening to them. The game uses a pixel-art style, heavily relying on a mix of theatre and carnival aesthetics. The players choose between a wide selection different carnival mask as characters; and a range of weapons which all shoot wind in different ways (a hand fan is slow but hits a wider angle, while a hair dryer shoots in a straight line but has to recharge for a while to be useable again). The players can choose between different game modes for a free-for-all, or a team-based experience for a longer series of games to blow each other away in a carnival evening of chaos and mayhem!

Moccoletti was awarded Best Presentation at the Gotland Game Conference 2024, hand has since been released on Steam.

Levels of Attraction

Levels of Attraction is a puzzle platformer, designed to be a couch co-op game. You play as two lovers, Dip and Dop. They belong together as they are trying to combine into one robot again. They are disconnected in two opposite worlds unable to combine together anymore, One dark world above the other displayed in a 3D-style art and a bright world below displayed in a 2D vector-style art. They are not capable of combining, even though they are still connected to each other by a magnetic field that pulls them together. Utilize this magnetism in different ways like slinging each other over far distances or bouncing each other far into the sky. Try to get through the level in each of your worlds and to find a world you’ll be able to reach and reconnect with your long lost other half.

Recitallion

Recitallion is a 2D grid based real time card game fighter. Engage in 1v1 or 2v2 bouts in which you beat your opponent using spell cards. Sacrifice the cards in your hand for powerful one-time effects or summon them for long-term support in battle. There is one catch though: summon theft. If your opponent defeats one of your summons, they can add it to their own deck to play against you! The game promises strategic but hectic combat, where good summon placements and smart use of sacrifices are key to winning the battle, as well as tense gameplay where comebacks are always possible thanks to the summon theft mechanic.
