After finding out about some secret government drug testing facility that pay people to let them test new medically created drugs on them for research purposes, Sam made the decision to offer himself as a test subject to earn some extra cash.

Test Subject #4 is a first person puzzle game where you play as Sam. You have been injected with some unknown drug. The testing facility is in the heart of an unknown abandoned hospital and you manage to break free from the testing room just before the effects of the unknown substance kick in. Little does Sam know he has been injected with a super strong chemical and the effects will remain there for days. The goal of the game is the escape this abandoned hospital without getting caught. Experience the environment in different colors, see sounds and see everything in an abstract manner. Overcome obstacles in your path which seen through the eyes of Sam can teach players life lessons. A simple task such as navigating your way over a ledge hanging over a dark deep pit can be seen through Sam's eyes an abstract way and can show players a deeper meaning. For instance the hole in the floor can be life's temptations and on the other side are life goals, the temptations can avoid you from achieving life goals. The game can teach players to see a deeper meaning in everyday life struggles.

Note: This game does not encourage drug use.

You find yourself waking up in this room, no memory of how you got here or what happened. The only thing you know is something doesn't quite feel right about this place. It feels as if the paintings are watching you, moving as you do. You see a couple of old newspapers on a study desk with the headlines "Serial killer claims another" and "Mysterious events haunting the city". You feel like you need to escape however the front door is locked. You notice in the writing of the paper there are certain words underlined in different sentences to form the phrase "It" "all" "starts" "in" "the" "ashes". In the ashes inside the fireplace you find a key, the key unlocks the chest next to the pot plant. Inside the chest is note that reads "The painting means everything to me". Behind the painting above the chest is a safe built into the wall. There are four coloured dots on the safe, red->green->blue->black. In the book shelf there are certain books with the matching coloured dots on the covers, inside each book there is a torn out page. Each missing page number gives the digits needed for the safe in the order of the colours. In the safe is a diary with a lot of confession notes about the murderer and how his victim's haunt him inside this house, the last entry is logged "… I should be back just after dark." And "I can't stop thinking about London". On the map of London is a spot marked 'X' 'Tower of London'. The shelf next to the fireplace has written on it "The tower you seek" inside here is a note "the missing pages don't add up". Adding up the numbers of the missing pages will give you the a four number digit needed to unlock the lockpad on the door needed to escape.

Gains plz is comedic mobile game that utilizes tilting mechanics. The players play as bodybuilder deprived of gains (protein food) after a hard workout. Food will fall down from the top of the screen and the players have to use tilting mechanics to move the protein deprived athlete so the foods can drop straight into his mouth. Certain foods however must be avoided and others are necessary to get enough of in order to complete the level. High protein food items such as chicken breasts, steaks, mince meat and carbohydrate rich foods like potato, ball of rice and pasta and also vegetables needs to be caught into the mouth of the bodybuilder. Certain bad foods will also fall down like donuts, etc will also fall down, these need to be avoided. But in the 'Cheat day' mode it is the reverse, after a hard week of dieting the bodybuilder needs a cheat day! In this mode you only catch the 'bad' food items, nothing healthy!

This is an endless scroller stacking type of game for mobile devices. The players play the game as a student in a library where the aim is to stack books on top of each other for as high as possible while keeping the noise down. The student is standing next to the stack of books on a table with a ladder, he has his arm swinging back forth and the player have to find the right timing to tap the screen to let the book drop so it is perfectly in the middle of the stack. As the stack of books grow they will start swaying, therefore it is important to place the books perfectly in the middle of the stack to try avoid swaying as much as possible. However as the stack grows very high swaying is unpreventable so it is crucial to place the books perfectly to lessen the sway effect. If a book falls off your stack you create noise and the librarian will tell you off, three strikes and then the librarian will swat at your stack in anger causing you to loose 10 books off the top. There will be different sized books and similar in Tetris if the player does not want to place the next book they can put it on hold to be placed later when they see fit. Only one book can be on hold at a time.

Levels will feature a range of different shapes and sizes but all of them will be enclosed to allow players to walk on side walls and the roofs. To walk on a wall players simply need to walk into it, the view of the map will change accordingly. Certain items can be found around levels to aid the player to complete the level. For instance a device that projects an image of the player onto a nearby wall that is in range and the player will teleport there. An item that can make one clone of the player allowing them to be able to select who they want to control for a certain time period. An item that can spawn boxes to help players reach areas that couldn't before. Once the player has collected the energy ball they need to take it to the door to unlock it, proceeding to the next level just involves simply walking through the door, a short cut scene will play to give the players a quick glimpse of the level. As some of the levels will become larger players have a mini map that reveals the area as they discover it. There are no enemies or combat involved so players play on their own time to take in the visual aspects of the level design and complete each puzzle as they want.

Its a game where you have to be undetected whilst doing a certain task. In my game you are a student who has to try break wind and have no one suspect its you. If you get caught it is game over and you have to start from the beginning. If someone starts to suspect its you there are things you can do to make them not suspect you. The way to not get caught is controlling the noise, who is around you and how close they are. If the suspicion meter goes into the red it means someone is onto you. If it stays in the red for too long someone will ask you if it was you, then players have to tap as fast as they can on the screen to get the suspicion meter back in the green zone failure to do this will result in getting caught and them its game over.

Runaway Bus is an endless scrolling 2D top down point of view game for mobile devices. Players play as the driver of the bus and have to swipe the bus left and right between lanes to avoid traffic and obstacles. On each level players have to reach bus stops before the timer runs out to drop off and pick up people. The further the game progresses the harder levels get, meaning the bus travels faster, more traffic and decreased amount of time to reach the next stop. If you crash into other cars or obstacles the satisfaction of people onboard will decrease, if it decreases too much it will affect your score for each level. Crashing into things will affect the look of the bus making it have dents appear on it. It will also gradually make the bus travel slower, making it harder for the player to reach destinations before the timer runs out.

Doodles is 2D platformer side scrolling puzzle game inspired by Scribblenauts.

Or players can draw a sword to help fight off an enemy. While drawing the game will be paused. If the the drawing is not recognized by the game, it will bring up a list of objects that looks similar to what is drawn. The players can then pick from that list what they wanted.

Players can collect 'magic pencils' for extra points on each level, however these items are in hard to reach spots.
