Shattered Space is a science-fiction themed online turn-based two player battle game where players need to predict the opponent's moves and plan their turns accordingly to win. Shattered Space has a variety of technology and weapon choices that creates different strategies for the players. Interacting with different map element also plays an important role in creating opportunity to destroy the opponent. How to play: The dark green tile is your current position. Click on adjacent tiles to plan your next movement, and click and drag from the green tile to your target to plan your attack. Press space to execute your moves. Since the two players execute their moves simultaneously, and your basic weapon -- the blaster takes one step's time to hit the enemy, you will need to predict the enemy's movement to hit! As the game progresses you can build weapons that makes it easier to hit the opponent, like the laser canon that hits immediately but requires cool down afterwards. You use energy to build stronger weapons, but watch out, If you spend all your energy, you lose the game! If you see a warning sign on your current position, you are in range of a defense turret, so don't stay there. Turrets attack when you stay in their range at the end of turn. Destroy these turrets to gain extra energy! Deal damage to the blue tiles and blast shields will rise up. The blast shields block attacks and movements.

You are a lone survivor in some post-apocalyptic nightmare where everyone else has turned into some hideous blob monster. Stranded at a gas station with nothing more than two sidearms, you must fight to survive. Monster Shroud is an experimental game prototype that uses the Kinect and Wiimote to control a character in first person shooter style. Instead of the traditional control scheme using keyboard and mouse or a gamepad, the player controls the character by actually moving his or her body, tracked by Kinect. As this game is purely experimental, there are plenty of things still left to work out, such as accuracy, jitter removal, and movement. Additional Models from Turbosquid Sounds from Freesound.org

A dark platformer where you use your flashlight to see and your gun to kill baddies. Here's where it gets tricky: you can't do both at once. You're in the dark, in your mansion, when stuff starts to go down. Like, the everyone's-trying-to-kill-you type of down. Grab your gun and your flashlight and your gun (but not both at once!) and take your life back! Writers note: This game and its story originally had four parts. This is half of the first part (making a game is hard...). As such, the story has been condensed. If you're lost or confused, the new story is you were in the mob but opted out via witness protection. Unfortunately, the nice people in the mafia have other ideas.

A heart that loves only science. Made in a week for the contest themed Regeneration. Deals with the famous Theseus problem, thus the cat's name. z,x, and arrow keys will do everything you need at the beginning of the game. Every time you die, Theseus' technology will provide for you a new body part to make things... easier. So, if you get discouraged (you will, it's a hard game), make things easier AND KILL YOURSELF. Robots will reconstruct themselves from scrap after a moment, so be aware of that. You need scrap (auto-collected from fallen robots) to repair and traverse doors, but can only take the right scrap from the same enemy once (they turn grey after they've died once), so if your nearby door isn't getting better from being around you, that's why.
