Slash Dash Samurai

Slash Dash Samurai is developed by Drowned Phone, a team of seven game design students. The project is run within the context of a vertical slice university course, lasting ten weeks in total. Your demon overlord sends you to do your job of slaying undead soldiers, as the demon harvests death essence in order to remain immortal. Use all weapons at your disposal to slay the undead. If you do well, your overlord might reward you. The game is a 2D pixelart endless mobile arcade roguelike. Swipe on the screen with your finger to charge the samurai’s dash. Every time the samurai dashes, he also slashes with his sword, slaying any enemies nearby. On top of this melee attack, the player can use a gun to damage enemies from afar without dashing. This is done by pressing a button while swiping. As you play the game, you upgrade your skills to become stronger and unlock abilities to aid you for the rest of the game. The longer you survive, the harder the game gets. Get as high of a score as you can!

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.

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.
