BLOmma

BLOmma is four player arcade game, heavily inspired by Pong and Breakout. You score by smashing the ball into into the bump bar guarded by either one of your (up to) three opponents.

Unlike Breakout and Pong BLOmma allows you to move your paddle over the entire game area, and even rotate it (this is why there’s two joysticks per player)! Obstacles spawn in the center of the playing field, which allow you to bounce the ball, catch powerups and set off chain reactions.

BLOmma was awarded “Best Arcade” at Gotland Game Awards 2007, and was nominated in the Swedish Game Awards 2007.

Darkest Escape

Darkest Escape is a game played entirely without visual feedback. With surround sound headphones the player is tasked with navigating the complete darkness of a powerless space station, trying to find out what has gone wrong and how to fix it before they run out of oxygen. … as it turns out, they might not be alone in the dark.

The astronaut is wearing an EVA suit with thrusters, which the player control via joysticks built into the arm rest of the arcade.
