Three Strikes is a unique top-down puzzle game where the objective is to evade the guards and reach the objective alive. But the guards are very smart, and are often impossible to avoid. So how do you get past them? You die, of course!
You start every level with 3 lives. You may finish a level with 1 life, or you may have more. The object is to use your lives effectively to get past the guards. When a guard sees you, he will chase you. Once he catches you, he will kill you, and you will respawn at the start of the level. The guard however, will stay where he killed you, guarding your body. That leaves you free to go where he was guarding at the start! There are many different types of guards. Some guards will run to catch you, others will shoot you when they get close enough, and some veterans will even walk slowly back to where he started after killing you!
The difficulty comes from trial-and-error, working out how best to use your two deaths to get past the various guards. Optional objectives allow you to push your abilities even further by aiming for 5 stars on each level!

Dead Eye is a first person multiplayer stealth game for four players. The game is designed to be a Perpetua system game. Each game is designed to be quick and fun, lasting as little as two minutes.
In each round, each player is spawned in one of the four corners of the map. Each player has a Sniper Rifle, with a single bullet. This is the only way to kill other players. The aim of the game is to stalk the other players, remaining hidden and unseen, and, when you think you've got one of them in your sights, you take the shot.
At this point, many things could happen. You could hit your target, killing them, and if there are no other players left, you win the game. Or, your could miss your target and be out of a bullet. Either way, the crack of your gun will alert all those nearby of your general location, which, if you were right behind your target, and you missed (how?) you would be basically dead to rights.
What happens when you lose your one bullet? Well, in the center of each map, there are four pedestals which hold another bullet that you may pick up if you don't currently have one. These pedestals can be camped and staked out, but there are four of them, and they are just far enough away from each other that there will always be at least one safe one. The judgement call on whether it is safe or not, is up to you however.
The game is about stealth, quick thinking, and alertness to your surroundings.
Gameplay features:
This game is a god game about competitively designing creatures with your friends. The game is designed to be played as part of the Perpetua system.
It is a four-player brawler game where you must create a beast from a set of parts that is randomly determined, and is the same for all players. These parts may include arms, mouths, teeth, tails, claws, etc.
Then, once everyone had built their beast, they are set into a randomly chosen arena to battle against the other 3 players' beasts in a free for all. Victory is dependant not only on brawler proficiency, but also on how well you have constructed your beast. For example, the player who places a bunch of claws on their creatures legs will likely lose to the beast who has claws on his hands, while the creature who walks on four legs will have greater speed and stability than the beast that walks on two.
The variety and power of the attacks will depend purely on how the creature was focused. The randomly generated parts list leads to vastly different gameplay each time, there may be some rounds that allow for massive Dragon battles with fire and talons, and other rounds that will be a competitive game of 'slug bodyslam'.

The aim of the game is simple enough, Lead your team to the supervillain's lair, out-smart him using your tactics, and steal his powers without anyone noticing. How do you do that? Well, you first have to order your team into position to move in on the target. Then you have to make sure that you will have an opening in which you can steal the targets power, with no witnesses!
Some of your foes will require some... special treatment in order to beat them. You may use your acquired powers at any time, in order to subdue the target, save your men, or steal their powers. The catch? You may not be seen using your powers, or you will instantly be targeted by your men and executed for heresy.
Each mission leads on from the previous, and each will require a more and more diverse set of powers in order to overcome and defeat. The powers you gain from previous assignments can be used to capture your targets in later missions. Once you acquire the power of time travel, you may go back and replay previous missions with your new powers and knowledge!
All this leads up to your ultimate goal. There is one final target whose ability you desperately want. He will be your toughest mission, but his power is the thing you need the most. Take his ability, and you will achieve the ultimate power of Immortality!

Energist is an arcade style side-scrolling endless runner where you play as a spark, and is designed to be a Perpetua game.
Your job it to navigate the spark through an increasingly difficult minefield of rubber plates, wooden boards, and other insulators. This isn't just your standard endless runner though, because not only must you avoid the obstacles, but your also have the ability to enter certain materials in your path, in order to get a slight speed boost. Charge into a rubber boot, and it's run over, but charge into a sword, and you will instantly be zapped to the other end of the sword, avoiding any and all obstacles in the way.
There are several modes to Energist, and each of them bring a new gimmick to the core gameplay:
There is the standard endless mode, where you aim to get the highest score you can by surviving as long as possible.
Accelerator mode forces the player to hit Charge Points in order to pick up more charge, and continue going. If the player fails to hit a certain amount of these, they will run out of charge and be unable to continue, thus ending the run.
Lastly, 4-Player mode allows four players to play against each other on the same run, with every power-up and score item being single-use, meaning only one player can grab it. The objective is to outlast all your opponents, while collecting the highest score possible. This is where the main meat of the game is.

Goalout! Is a co-op, team-based arcade game, based on the Perpetua System. Players are connected to a server, where they are placed in teams of 10 per side, for 2 sides. Each team then has 5 minutes to lob as many balls at the opponents goal as possible. Each goal scored gives points based on the size of the ball, and the difficulty of the shot. Players may block incoming shots with their bodies, or with another ball, however, each time a shot is blocked with the Player's own body, they are removed from the game and are given a 10 second respawn timer.
Balls can be made bigger or smaller by holding them inside special Accumulators, which gradually add or subtract mass depending on the type of accumulator. Bigger balls score more points, but naturally move slower than smaller balls.
At the end of each game, the points are tallied up, and the highest-scoring player gets a Perpetua Point for use in later games!

You rush home, eager to turn Perpetua on. You barrel through your front door, boot up your computer, and double click the 'Perpetua' icon on your desktop. You read the welcoming message, and see you placed ninth on last months game. I mean, it was a good game and all, but you feel ready for a new experience, a new competition.You see that this month's game is called 'Starter Deck'. How intriguing. An online card game. You are positively bursting with excitement, as you load up the game, and try to get yourself into a match. Oh how much fun this month will be!
Welcome to Perpetua, the perpetual game experience that completely changes every month. Studies have shown that many casual gamers lose interest in one game after a few weeks, so what better to counter that then with a new game! Perpetua does just that, giving players a completely new game every month. Players have exactly one month. from the 1st to the 1st, to do as much as they can in the game, completing achievements and milestones. And then, when the next month rolls around, all the progress in the last game is lost, and a new game is begun. Well, not quite.
There would be no point in playing if the games weren't worth anything, so every game awards persistent points depending on what has been accomplished in it. Points can be earned by completing the story, winning many matches, or playing for many hours. These points can be used to buy upgrade which remain persistent throughout subsequent games, such as 2x bonuses, extended timers, and hats!
