This is a single player game made for PC which revolves around a main character who cooks food in their home and then sells it at the local markets each week. The player plays this role of this cook and so each week has to choose what to cook, how much of each product they should make as well as the price for each product. As players cook a recipe they will get more experience at it and so therefore make it better.

This is a management game as the player has to set a price that is reasonable as well as make enough products so that they do not sell out instantly. As well as trying to make as much money as possible, this money will then be used to buy appliances for your kitchen or upgrade existing devices allowing you to make more products or make new products. There is no limit to how well the player can do in this game and there is also no limit on the number of weeks they can cook, so one day an aspiring cook can earn millions, with people coming from around the world to try their famous meals.

This is an incremental game in which you can live all your hopes and dreams of becoming famous. You start off as a normal student, clicking to either study or party, trying to distribute them as you wish in order to change your future, however, unlike real life, if you party all the time and do no studying then you still become successful!

Each click that you make gains you notoriety points, which can be spent making your stats slowly increase automatically. Depending on your choice of clicking you will be offered different success paths to make yourself famous and/or rich. With studying branching off to getting a degree for example. To optimise this to each player, they are asked a few questions about themselves to determine what they are interested in, these will be used as lures later on to encourage the player to click in order to achieve a virtual life goal they could only dream of having in real life...

You work in a lost property department at your local school, and children are constantly losing things... Its your job to return them to their rightful owners. When they come to try and collect their missing gear, you must give them back the correct one. This sounds easy, but children get facts wrong all the time, and you have to use your knowledge, with a few limited questions, to solve each property mystery...

The aim of each day is to have no more missing property, and if you get one wrong, when another kid comes and wants the item you just gave away you have to try and juggle the property and make each child happy, as well as their parents. There is never an end in levels and each day is completely unique, with no one child missing the same item twice (hopefully) making the game less repetitive.

This is a game based around puzzle solving and mind games. Players are treasure hunters of their local town and are seeking to become rich and famous. With their smarts, the player must solve various clues in order to find the treasure, these can be a large number of things, such as anagrams, co-ordinates that they would have to find on a map, cryptic puzzles, maps which they have to try and locate the position.

This is a game to get the player thinking and exercise their brain in order to complete, they will be given a list of local lost treasures and can choose which one they do based on difficulty, allowing them to get greater rewards by doing harder puzzles or many more puzzle that are worth less, but are easier to complete, however, as the game progresses there will be less lost treasures that are easy to find, and more that are harder to find, this will scale slowly, teaching the player the thinking patterns required to solve the puzzles at the easy level and gradually bringing them up to speed.

This game is based off of Battleships, however this version is designed for PC and features eight players, these players are trying to be the last man/woman standing. Each player places their ships like normal, then they receive the locations of a random enemies ships. Each player then attacks the player next to/after them. As players guess they will be eliminated, if a player eliminates their target player, then they are assigned the next person that would be after the player they killed.

This game will also feature Intel trading, in which players can trade one ship location of a random unknown player for other information, this makes the game more complicated, players can bluff their information or tell the truth when giving it, however when trading Intel you have to be careful, if the player thinks that you are lying and calls you out on it, you then have to volunteer a location of one of your ships to them.

This is a game based on the real live version of leap frog, it is a free for all multiplayer game which involves player leaping from Lilly Pad to Lilly Pad trying to jump over other players frogs in order to sink their Lilly Pad and eliminate them from the game, with the last player standing winning. These will also be dragon flies flying around which the players can try and catch for bonus points.

There will be different game modes, one of these being that every lilly pad can only be jumped on once, so once a frog leaves the pad then it sinks, this will add more difficulty, as instead of trying to leap on your opponents, you could cut them off and force them to sink themselves. Another game mode being that no lilly pads sink and instead as time goes on the area that the frogs can play in gets smaller, forcing them together for a grand finale.

This is a first person shooter, but realistic in a new way. Have you ever wanted a first person shooter so real that you could literally stand up and play it in your own room? Well now you can! Beat Down is a first person shooter located in everyday locations such as an office, a house, or even your school!

This is a first person shooter that doesn't actually involve real guns, instead players have to pickup items that are normally located in the location they are playing on, and then with these items fight to the death with other players. As in real life, they can choose to whack people with these items, or if they are accurate enough, even throw these items towards the player, the bigger the item, the higher the damage - however speed is sacrificed when swinging or throwing. Items include: Knifes, forks, toasters, printers, microwaves, many fruits, pans, pens, chairs and so much more!!!

This is a game designed to test a players reflexes, the player is a fisherman, but not just any old fisher man... You play a fisher man who grabs fish with his/her bare hands! This is the real way to fish. The player starts off trying to catch big and slow fish, and although this gets you fed, it does not satisfy your need for speed, you have to train and train, venturing to many different locations in order to find the fastest and hardest fish to catch with your bare hands in the world.

As the player gets better at learning how to time when to try and catch these fish, the ability of the fisher man will also increase, unlocking fish that require more skill to catch. Eventually the player will have assassin like reflexes and be able to catch all the fish they want, knowing that they are the true master at hardcore fishing.

This is a game played on the run, designed for iOS and Android. The aim of the game is to smash the glass windows in the smallest time possible, the difficulty can be chosen by the player, this will be done through the strength of the glass, varying from paper thin to bullet proof. As the player smashes the glass they will earn money for the damage that they have caused, this will be able to be spent on getting better items/weapons to break the glass with, However, the money that the player gets will scale with the difficulty, meaning that for smashing really thin glass you get next to no money but can smash more per minute, however smashing a really thick glass plane will earn you a lot more money but takes longer to smash.

This is a game with no real objective apart from trying to unlock all of the items/weapons, and is more meant as a stress reliever to be played on the way to work/school etc.

This is a game all about death... In this game the player controls a Jelly Baby, and has to guide this Jelly through a series of obstacles to make it to the end, the only problem is that these obstacles are extremely hard and would be impossible to do in one life. That is where the unique Jelly mechanic comes into play. When the player dies on an obstacle, they leave behind their Jelly which will in some way disable traps and provide assistance through obstacles. Each coloured Jelly will have a different death animation and different effects on the obstacle course therefore, the player has to choose carefully how they die and what colour Jelly they are when they die.

This is a puzzle platformer which will require a lot of skill to complete as well as thinking outside of the box. With lots of different colours of Jellies to choose from, there is a number of ways players can choose to complete each level.
