Rat Race

“Rat Race: Escape from the Lab” is a co-op racing game set in a chaotic world where laboratory rats escape from a research facility. Players team up, having to work together to steer the car and navigate through obstacles. The game offers a unique blend of cooperative gameplay and high-speed racing action. One player controls the steering, maneuvering through the terrain and avoiding obstacles, while the other player manages acceleration, braking, and power-ups to outpace pursuers and achieve the highest score possible.

ROT!

The player’s main goal is to protect a tree from evil spirits who are trying to destroy it. The player thwarts these evil spirits by organizing physical rune stones that summon protective spirits. We would like the game to challenge the player, give them an experience that is fantastical and give them a sense of discovery when it comes to how they will discover unique ways to beat a variety of puzzles. The game features three different modes: Standard mode, Boss mode and Reward mode. In Standard mode the player must survive and fight back against an onslaught of attacks from corrupted spirits until they summon a boss. This boss then challenges the player with a unique mechanic, such as portals. Upon defeating this boss, the player enters Reward mode where they have a limited amount of time to get as many additional points and extra lives as possible. Once the time is over, a new cycle starts and the player is challenged with increased difficulty and a different boss.

Smack n’ Roll

This game is about a light-hearted competitive experience. In this arcade game two players compete against each other side by side in a digital marble race. They will play as a ball (or marble), rolling and avoiding different types of obstacles in a fast paced, colorful, comic-like, fictional tournament environment. The players control their movement with a physical ball in front of them that they can hit with a club to affect their movement contrary to a real marble race that is all about chance and luck. The physical input gives the player a fun and active experience coupled with satisfying colorful graphics.

Snap-a-Saurus: Pictures of the Past

(our name) is a player-versus-player photography game where the players compete against each other to take the best pictures of dinosaurs. Using their camera-shaped controller, the players will receive a score for each photo they take. The score will change based on which parts of the dinosaur are in the frame, as well as if the dinosaur is centered or obscured. The first photo of each dinosaur taken will net the photographer more points than any subsequent photo. The faster a player is to take clear photos of new and exciting dinosaurs, the more points they will receive. The game will consist of three one-minute rounds, and the player that has scored the most points at the end of all three rounds will win the game.
