This is a game that relies on echo heavily, it will be a game in the VR system where the players can hear and play the game using their sense only. The player need to lean their body forward or lean their body backward in order to move forward and backward in the game, for left and right they just have to turn in real life. This game involves a pitch black maze that the player cannot seem anything under normal circumstances. But in this game the mechanics are really similar to a bat's eyesight using soundwave/echo to see the way ahead of them. By making noise in the game the player can see a few meters ahead of them. For example, when there is a wall in the front and the player shouts/make noises and the sound wave will hit the wall and an echo can be heard by the player and the game will show the player where that particular object is at. In order to beat the game the player simply have to exit the maze, if the player is stuck at a single checkpoint for too long then the game will give off hints leading to the exit without getting the player too bored.

This is a 3D third person view game that tests out the player's capability to dodge and avoid obstacles at a fast pace. In this game, the player has to walk into a training room in order to start the level. The training room will have walls from all angle surrounding the player and it will project itself to the environment that whichever level the player is at. For example in level one the room will have 20 or more guns on every side of the walls surrounding the player and the guns will fire at a very slow speed and from a random direction that requires the player to dodge it. While the bullets are fired the game will also show the line of fire estimating where the bullets will hit and expect the player to dodge it between that time. Special abilities will also be added into this game like time stop, invincible ability, armors, shield. All of these special abilities have their own timeouts like the invincibility have a time limit of 20 seconds and after that, the player has to dodge whatever coming at them with their skills. The time stop ability is unique and is with the player in every level, the player can use it only once in each level and will be replenished as the player enter the next level. The levels won't be only limited with bullets shooting at the players there will also be lasers, poison brownies, pugs, missiles etc. When the player gets to a harder level where many bullets are fired towards them and they can't dodge it in time then therefore the player can use the ability 'time stop' to pause time for 10 seconds and the player can dodge all of the bullets or just stand at a corner where the bullets are reaching at the moment. As the player reaches a certain level/rank then there will be an upgrade to let the player choose either they want to continue with the 'time stop' ability or a new ability like 'time adjuster'. 'Time adjuster' is an ability that allows the player to go back 10 seconds upon their death to give them another chance to dodge the bullets and let them advance to the next level. This is not a permanent choice the player can go back to change it later on in the game if they are used to the 'time stop' ability. The goal of this game is to rank up as high as possible and beat as many levels as possible to compete in an online scoreboard.

This is a game about a racing game where humans have to race from the safe house at the beginning to the end point outside of the deathly snowfield. A group of prisoners was dropped in the middle of a snowfield where a safe house/safe point, there is five Kawasaki robot suit hanging around the house. The players have to equip these robot suits and race towards the end point/goal. The location will be shown briefly inside the safe house and there will also be guidelines and a mini-map on the top right of the screen when the players equip the robot suit. The Kawasaki robot suit is designed to give the human body more power and more strength to run faster or carry heavier objects. When a player steps out of the house then all five players will automatically force to start the race, once the race starts the objective/goal's gate will begin closing only the first three players that can get through will be able to proceed to the next level. The loser will be eliminated from the game and might have to start over. As the level proceeds higher the difficulty will also increase, the second level will not just speed it requires the players to dodge incoming ice-darts that will appear suddenly from 3-5 meters away and the player have to try and dodge it, if they don't they will get frozen on that spot for 10 seconds in order to continue again. The goal in this game is to escape from this hell hole where it acts like a prison but the prisoners are given a chance to race and escape.

Note: The actual Kawasaki robot suit only helps lift heavy objects, I have applied this idea to a game and make it do more than just lifting heavy objects.
