In this two players game you can choose either to be the leader or the runner.

In each level, the leader needs to lead the runner to a door disconnected and far from everything by creating platforms while your athlete is running. Coins, diamonds and pearls are integrated in the level.

Leader :

You begin in an empty world with your athlete standing on a single platform which is the start point. You are given gloves that create the platforms and you are flying next to your athlete, you need to follow his pace and create the platforms as fast as you can so your runner doesn't fall, get confused or takes too long to reach the door.

Runner :

You start on the single platform and all you need to do is to run, collect items, manage your speed and sometimes try to anticipate the moves of your leader ( if they put the platforms further away ). In this case you are able to jump but not so far.

Regarding the collectable items, as they are randomly placed and that you are timed on your performance, both the leader and the runner need to decide which items they will pick or not before getting to the door.

Each collectable item obviously have a different value :

Coin = 100 pts

Pearl = 500 pts

Diamond = 1000 pts

The next levels get higher in difficulty as the door is placed further or you're given a limited amount of platforms to create so you need to figure out how you will reach the door with a strict minimum of platforms.

In this game you control a sphere rolling down a steep platform with holes all the way.

To move the sphere and direct any of its movement, bend the device in the right direction so the ball doesn't fall in a hole.

As you get further the platform gets steeper so you will need to go faster and focus more.

Energetic music is playing and the rhythm accelerate with the pace of the evolution. The background shows sound waves moving on the frequency of the music and an euphorical game of multicolour lighting is set.

The aim is to get as far as possible without falling in a hole and break your record in distance.

Each new record breaking, as reward of achievement, will optimise and customise your sphere.

Modes available :

Easy : The space between the holes is quite big

Medium : The spaces between the holes is reduced and more of them are added

Hard : Gravitating circles are added and you need to jump through it without missing any of them. You need

to be careful not to fall in a hole when you get back on the platform.

If you beat the set score given in each level, you unlock the next harder level and when you beat the Hard level score

you unlock a special mode :

Cataclysm : the level is apocalyptic and you feel like you're going down to hell. The pace has been multiplied, the holes are now really close from each other, more gravitating circles are added and they're on fire and you lose if you touch the flames. Asteroids are crashing on the platform creating more holes during the process, the device is shaking, the music is epic and sometimes the platform gets invisible and you can only see the holes ( you can fall from the edges of the platforms so good luck when you can't see them )

The aim of this game ( that could be considered as an application ) is to help you reduce smoking by playing interesting, distractive and instructive mini games or completing amusing tasks.

What you first need to do is to give your daily schedule, with all your breaks time. ( Actually all the moments you know you will smoke cigarettes )

The application will register everything and when the time comes, at the beginning of your break, an alarm will ring and a dialogue box from the app will pop up

on your mobile device screen asking you if you want to play or smoke a cigarette instead.

I personally think that giving the choice to the person will lessen the feeling of pressure to be asked not to smoke.

If you want to put an effort to achieve your goal of reducing smoking all you need to do is to press " Let's Play!"

It can be a solution to people who tried other ways to reduce smoking but without success.

The mini games :

They are various and can implement puzzle games ( inspired by the series of the game Drawn by Big Fish Games ) , online duels with other people who have the same application,memory based games, brain activity training and so on..

When you finish a game, based on the previously set time for your casual cigarette breaks, it will congrats you and tell you that you did well and that

it stopped you from smoking a certain amount of cigarettes. The achievement will be registered and marked in a virtual calendar with an icon

per cigarette not smoked next to the date and time.

Over a week it will encounter all the cigarettes you haven't smoked and show you all the cigarette icons next to each other. Etc

Vertigo

A single player sci-fi action adventure platform and fighting game on console and computer. It's a mix between Mirror's Edge, Soulcalibur and Bioshock infinite.

Adäs is a young man who grew up in Vertigo, a floating sci-fi city above the clouds. He has no family and a really special life. The city is directed by a group of five protagonists known as "The Creators". They have built the city by their hands hundreds of years ago and they have the power on everything and never show their face to their people nor meeting them unless there is an emergency. Otherwise, they talk to the population through speakers hidden in and all around the city.

The city is repeatedly attacked by fleet of advanced spaceships driven by strangers from another world. The population have to constantly protect themselves and their city and fight against those intruders said to be trying to invade or destroy Vertigo.

Exceptionally hard training sessions are set every day for the community, compulsory self-defense exercises, and parkour challenges, manipulate highly dangerous and advanced weapons, fights simulations, war simulations… Every day is a new challenge. The population is disciplined and obey without complaining.

Even if all the community feel that there is something missing to them, they are all really competitive and like their way of life.

Unfortunately, people keep disappearing in strange and unknown circumstances which will start to worry the population.

The truth is that the people have been all captured at their birth by the Creators and raised by them with assigned nurses in order to form elite soldiers for an army predestinated to attack the underworld which is the real life on the ground and which the existence have been hidden. The Creators have been manipulating them since the beginning. Their whole life is a lie, a machination.

People from Vertigo have been lobotomized and brainwashed when they were children to get rid of any memories on their birth.

However there has been an issue with Adäs who makes the same dream every night: he is held by a beautiful woman smiling to him, but he doesn't know who she is. This dream messes his mind. He also started to develop feelings for a girl called Anaïs. One day she disappeared as well and he wants to know how, why, and find her. Adäs is one of the most powerful subject of the community.

The Creators, (who figured out he fell in love with the girl) will tell Adäs that the invaders killed her. He will then get in an abnormal state of permanent rage and it will turn him into a true killing machine who defeat most of the fleet of enemies.

When he will realize the lie he will fight against the Creators and their loyal "army" of bodyguards.

He will find out at the end that Anaïs is his twin sister and understand the whole story. He will save Vertigo and its people and discover the underground.

Gameplay

Every day is a new challenge, everybody have to achieve their daily goals and become stronger or they get punished. You must complete each and every request from the Creators.

Community

The community believe that if they fall from their land they will get eaten or tortured by colossal monsters living in the clouds (The clouds layers is believed to be an ocean by the population). They all live in this only fear of falling and developed amazing capabilities, skills and techniques to embrace their environment and never fall.

They are hardly trained every day based on a tight and strict schedule and have a specific diet. Nurses are taking care of them daily to maintain their health and heal them when needed.

The whole population apart from the Creators and the nurses is the same age. At this time, they are all 21 years old.

There are females and males who all have been sterilised when they were younger. They don't know about reproduction.

They don't know words like pity, love, sensitive, feelings… So the Creators get rid of all superfluous emotions, they want to raise the inner beast living in each of their subjects.

Level Design

Vertigo's architecture is very particular and unique. The level design is challenging and based on an indefinite number of platforms, narrow pathways, floating buildings and stairways or parts of lands. Hardly accessible gravitating and moving platforms everywhere. Everything is made to make you feel acrophobia (fear of heights) or make you suffer from vertigo in other words. The city is divided in several areas. Each area has a specific function for the population.

Game mechanics

Between the platforms and the challenging architecture, the player will need to master the art of "Parkour" which is a discipline using movement developed from military obstacle course training. "Practitioners aim to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible. This done using only the human body and the surroundings for propulsion, with a focus on maintaining as much momentum as possible while still remaining safe. It can include obstacle course, running, climbing, mantling, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, quadrupedal movement, and other, similar movement depending on what is deemed most suitable for the given situation" Wikipedia (March 2013)

A source of inspiration is Mirror's Edge, which the gameplay is all about this discipline.

By completing and achieving the exercises given by the Creators, you level up and get harder tasks and trainings until you get sacred Ultimate Champion.

The fighting training sessions get inspired by Soulcalibur II combat arcades and training modes. They take place in different highly challenging environments and places.

The player will need to assimilate all the moves combinations and master them.

Ultimate Prison ball is a multiplayer sport game on console you can play up to eight players. Inspired by the basic prison ball game, this one has different rules and the players are special.

Player Selection

You can choose the members of your team from a wide range of unique characters. Each of them has a special power, different capabilities ( stamina, speed, strenght... ) and different moves when it comes to avoid the ball or throw it back.

The team members selection can be strategic because each character will have more or less advantage in some of their abilities.

Rules

- If an opponent hits you with the ball, you are eliminated and you wait the next match to play again. ( The aim is to last the longest possible )

- If you ever cross the line you get a red flag and after three red flags you get eliminated. As a result the other team win.

- You are allowed to fake moves so your enemies will get confused on where you may throw the ball

- You can drop the ball only twice and you get eliminated

- You can be touched everywhere on your body and it counts, as long as there is contact with the ball

Game mechanics

The player controls the direction of the ball he is throwing and measures the strengh because it affects the damages the enemy will endure. Precision is needed not to miss the target and eliminate the most opponents.

Using a controller, the special skills and powers are executable with combinations the player will have to figure out throughout the game. If for example we simultaneously presstwo specific buttons it will execute a move or if we press the same button several times it will execute another etc

The player will have to find the combinations for the best moves.

The damages from the battles on the field modifies the game zone which generates obstacles that the player must avoid

The team who accumulate 3 victories is rewarded a trophee and a harder match.

Gameplay


After selecting the members of your team, the match is set in a pre-generate arena ( from a variety of decor elements the computer generates arenas randomly for each new match ) and you are about to begin. As each player you chose has special powers and moves, you start to discover them during the game and get to master them in order to defeat the enemies. Powers differ from elements like water, wind, earth, fire, electricity or ice and they all have a physical impact on the field.The more the match is "violent" and interractive, the more the arena will get ruined.

The matches are timed. You have teams of eight members, if all your players get hit by the ball you lose. If their are more players remaining in your team at the end of the match you win.

Report from Dunham is a single player horror game where you play Dave Dunham, a passionate oceanographer and journalist who has gone too far with the legend of the Bermuda Triangle. He was obsessed to know why and how all those aircrafts and ships disappeared mysteriously while they crossed the triangle, through the fog. Because he couldn't find any plausible reason he got crazy and decided to experience it himself. He would go with a one-seater submarine he previously worked with as oceanographer.

However, this is the first time that he would go so deep, and is not sure whether the submarine will resist the abyssal zone pressure.


Before few cinematics and as the character gets near from the Bermuda Triangle you start and take control of the submarine. The scene starts by night, the water is troubled and you barely can see further four meters. The cockpit is tiny so you better not be claustrophobic. Dunham records himself with a microphone and all the reports are directly transmitted to his website. As you evolve closer from the Triagnle zone, appearing on the radar, the atmosphere gets heavier.

When you finally enter the zone, the submarine starts to shake and suddenly stops. Dave is scared, his heartbeats start to get faster and he knows that the journey is about to begin, or to end.

The engine is equiped of robotic arms and submarine torpedoes that can be fired in case of danger available in a limited number as well as mines.

As you get deeper with the submarine, the water gets more troubled. Your vision decreases, the only light you have is the two spots located on the front of the submarine. Dunham reports every single detail and as you navigate forward, the vessel starts to shake again, but stronger. Suddenly something dramatically hits the engine and Dave collapses.

When he wakes up, a hushed voice can be heard and it sounds like it's coming from everywhere. It's the complete dark, the front spots aren't working anymore and the only thing still lightened is the control pad. Dave is dizzy, he can't understand what the voice says.. Until he does right in his ear.

"Further" the voice says.

Instead of getting scared Dave starts to follow it unconsciously, going deeper and deeper. You will fight against horrific and mysterious entities from the abyss and discover new techniques to beat them as you evolve. When you finish the game, Dave makes a huge discovery that will leave humanity wordless. He will leave a last report.
