Roboturusama

Transform into a vicious tower of doom and exterminate any threats in this fast paced cooperative arcade-action-game. Kill as many enemies as possible before you advance to the next level by rolling over them or shooting them! Use all your dexterity to outmaneuver your friends so you get the highest score or work together to get through all the levels.

Roboturusama lets the player control their robots with a trackball and only one button which makes the controls very intuitive. It doesn’t take a lot of micro or ultrafast fingers to master Roboturusama but you better be ready to spin that trackball like a person who likes to spin a trackball very much!

Paper Express is a 2D side-scrolling arcade game that focuses on cooperation between 2 players.

Run through beautiful environments and deliver newspapers to mailboxes while trying to get past obstacles by jumping over or sliding under. Work together with a friend in order to reach all mailboxes – but be careful. If you hit each other with your papers, you will faceplant!

The game was built in XNA and the graphics made in Photoshop.
