Rock Pool
It's 4000 BC. You and your friends are just hanging on a nice flat surface in your cave, when all of a sudden some Neanderthal of a person comes along and pushes you with a stick.
Needless to say, you soar towards your friend who bounces off the wall and falls down a dark abyss
"Hey that was pretty cool, do it again!"
Rock pool is a classic game of Pool, but almost too classic.
You play as a rock named Cue in the early stages of Pool being developed as a game. You goal is to move into your friends and knock them into the dark pits that lay around your small cave.
Because you are not a perfectly round object, you will have to guide yourself along the board as you move in unexpected and erratic ways. Your goal is to sink all of the balls before the timer runs out, or else the players of the game will throw you away thinking you are a bad rock for the game.
The game will become gradually more difficult, as you will have less time to complete the game on each level, more rocks to sink, and certain objects and animals on the board blocking the way.
Losing on round will require the player to start the entire game again, as there is a vast abundance of rocks in 4000 BC.
Platforms:
PC, Console, Handheld
Target Audience:
14-22

In this third-person action game you play as a literal giant, living in a secluded mountain valley. You have lived here for as long as you can remember, but for some reason there have been many humans adventuring through your territory recently. They don't seem to be settlers or explorers, rather, they are adventurers trying to pick a fight with you. As one of the few remaining great mythical creatures left, you are a massive target for every glory hungry warrior. They travel from the far reaches of the globe for their chance to slay you and earn a name for themselves. You don't have any option other than defending yourself and your ancient homeland by force, but as you put down the initial raggedy bands of fighters your reputation as a legendary creature will grow. The numbers and strength of attackers will increase continually, and you will have to find ways of using the resources of the valley to eke out every advantage you can get. Thankfully, as your infamy as a great slayer of heroes grows you will also attract other endangered mythological creatures hoping to be protected by your strength in exchange for their skills. As the game progresses you will be gathering and protecting a diverse community of hunted creatures, such as griffins and dragons which will fight alongside you, as well as others like goblins, which will provide technologies to turn the tide in your favour. Do your best to survive the unending efforts of humanity to render your kind extinct.

To do this, you have to sit at your desk and work. The game is in a first person viewpoint, aimed solely at a computer monitor, but breaking away to answer calls or fax documents. The game will be a work-simulator, where the player has to juggle multiple things at once, and forward / reply to emails and calls dependant on their content. However, as the player plays through the game, they begin to realize the backend of the company, what things are going on behind the scenes. They will be getting confidential emails from the start of the game that they need to unlock with special passcodes, which are figured out through various puzzles and riddles in different sections of the game.

Colour Coded is a simple side-scrolling plat-former where your objective is to reach a door leading to the next stage.
Coloured areas lie throughout every stage, each of these colours both allow and restrict certain actions being performed within them, such as green allows you horizontal movement while red allows you to jump. There will be times when two colours overlap allowing multiple actions to be performed at once, taking the previous colours for example and combining them to get a yellow zone letting you both move left and right as well as jump. These zones would then be put to use in creating puzzling pathways to navigate to the door.
Enemies in the game come in the form of shapes, each shape having its own movement pattern which also has a dependency on the coloured zones. Enemy shapes like the square would move in straightforward patterns, while a triangle would move in a more erratic or jagged movement pattern. Instead of losing health when an enemy hits you, the enemy explodes damaging the coloured zone at its impact point, creating a dark area where no control is possible, erratically moving you about and making the zone harder to move in.

Missing Links; what happened yesterday?
The premise of the game is simple. You're presented with a thread and multiple slots. Each slot represents a gap in a memory.
You're given a bunch of images with no explanation whatsoever, and you must decide which slot the images should go, in order to fix this memory.
Each image has a preset explanation that changes slightly depending on what image came before and is placed after it. Some situations created by the player might sound completely ridiculous, but that's the fun of the game.
The way to proceed to the next memory is whether the thread of memories the player creates results in the continued existence of the person whose memories the player is fixing.
Meaning it's likely that situation will arise where the order of images can lead to the person's untimely demise.
There will be 8 memories in total, and all of the memories link to one another. Making this a simple game with easy mechanics, but a rich story to delve into for the more narrative-focused players.
The game can be on any console or phone OS. It'd be a cheap downloadable game with nice replay value, and no need for petty F2P mechanics.
Inspired by the multiple Missing Links in my streak.
Dusty warrens is a game where the player controls a small lapin (rabbit) scout. Your warren has become barren and dusty from human industrialisation. For your people to survive you must venture out into the metropolis avoiding dangers such as trigger happy farmers, rush hour traffic and deadly felines. The game is slightly morbid. No content of blood and gore. Morbidity is expressed in the rabbits overly cute appearance which is an attempt to get us to look out how absolutely destructive we humans really are. If you can feel for a synthetic rabbit on a tv screen, how come you wouldn't do the same for a real bunny? Game uses rabbit instincts as powers. Exceptional eye sight and sense of smell can be toggled to fit with certain conditions. In order to survive this urban hell you'll need to be crafty and sneak around incoming obstacles.

Feed Them Candy is a casual pseudo-simulation game where the player needs to look after a town's citizen by feeding them candies. In this game, the player must help the town's folks live their daily lives as peaceful as possible. The player needs to feed people candies to help them get out of troubles.
There are many different kinds of magical candies. These candies have different colours and flavours. Each candy will cause different effects, such as peach flavoured candy will turn someone into a girl. Feeding the citizen the right candy at the right time is important. For example, if a guy walks into the girl's toilet by accident, feeding him a peach flavoured candy will solve the problem.
If there are no trouble about to happen, the player can feed people random candy for hilarious things to happen. Such as feeding candies that'll make people obese. If done in the right time, the player can stuck people inside doors, cars or buildings.
A game where you need to fix items in obscure ways.
A level would be set up so you receive a broken object that needs fixing, and very unhelpful advice on how to repair it. An example would be a broken TV, where the instructions are something like "Cool it down for a while".
Gameplay would have a 3d rotatable model of the object, and you'd also have a top-down "workshop" mode when you need to find something to use on the object to fix it.
Walking through the TV example, to solve the issue of cooling it down, you'd have to search your workshop for anything that could be considered "cool"-- water from the tap, a slab of meat in the fridge, or a sweet pair of sunglasses-- and then apply it to the TV. In this case, the instructions are obscure enough that you can get creative.
Overall the levels would only last a few minutes at best, but harder levels would require you to think outside the box more (so a similar situation to the TV example, but without the obvious options anymore).

Moving Master is a puzzle game about moving objects, be it moving living space, or just moving objects around on a desk. The goal of the game is to make everything fit perfectly together in the smallest space possible. Failure to place the objects in the selected space will result in a game loss.
The main mechanics of the game is micromanagement and puzzle solving. The puzzle solving comes from having to sort the objects in a specific order to fit the objects into a certain space. the micromanagement comes in with making sure they are all sorted as closely as possible to get the most bonus points.
The levels and scenarios of the objects placements get more difficult each time and become more intricate to increase the skill needed to progress. The game would start off with someone organizing their desk by moving their pens and paper into the proper spaces and creating a neat working environment, while one of the later levels will be someone moving house, and having to fit all their furniture and boxes into a moving truck as space efficient as possible.

fracture town is a stress relief game where you smash cities to the ground as a giant monster. This game is made for those days you get angry with the world and just want to destroy everything you can see. It will let you take out your frustration by smashing cities. You will have many monsters to chose from, things like massive turtles, bird , robots, cars, hydras, dragons, dinosaur and the classics giant monsters Godzilla, Mothra, Mechagodzilla and more. The objective of this game is pretty simple, you smash things until you're happy. The good thing about this being a one player game with no multiplayer is this means all the attacks the monsters have can be as crazy and powerful as I like. This is because there doesn't need to be very much balance. Anything that i can make can go in the game as long as it is fun to use.

Have you ever wonder if you could just slide of an escalator without any worries? In the new game 'Escalator Slide' in your mobile phones, you can. This is a 3D mobile game that allows the players to just jump on to the escalator and slide down, passing through the endless amount of people. This game allows you to play it at any location possible when I said any location it literally means any location. If the players are desired to play it at a shopping mall where there are escalators then they can use their phone's camera and take a picture from the top of the escalator and from the bottom of the escalator to create a level for themselves. The game will automatically form a shape of an escalator and by using the image from the background it will set a surrounding background in that level, then the players can slide off the escalator in their phone in a real-time location.

A small 2d top down game, The game would be a bullet hell. In which the method for defending will be throwing a couple of boomerangs that go in sort of orbit around the "Player instance" depending on the amount of time the player holds the button the further it will go. Boomerang one can be used as a combat ability and the second one would be used for teleporting and will be the only one capable of going straight in whichever direction. The player would have to learn to combine his abilities to multitask by dodging incoming projectiles of all sorts, while moving through the map. The game could easily implement the use of teleportation as a necessity for bosses or some monsters for example some bosses can be only killed if some buttons are pressed or certain areas of the ground could be of the opposite element of the boss being the ones that can actually hurt the enemy. I think the game would be better with a small story about the main character restoring order to his world. The game could be made for pc :D.

2D app. In this demolition game you have to bring down as much of the building/s as possible, the more pieces broken the more points you get. Each level you're given a limited amount of TNT and a limited area to place said TNT, usually around the lower half of the building/buildings. Some levels have solid beans that are harder to knock down and other levels may have buildings outside of the demolition area and can only be knocked down, as well as other obstacles that you'd need to think outside the box to beat the level, there is also bonus points if you complete the level with TNT to spare.
You can place TNT in the space that is highlighted as long as there is also gaps in the building structure to place it. With all the TNT you've placed you can add timers onto each individual TNT up to a maximum of 3 seconds delay to help bring down the building entirely, if one TNT is in close enough proximity to another it will detonate at the same time regardless of a delayed timer, the detonations start once you press the 'Ready' button on the screen.
