Concrete Jungle is a post apocalyptic generation game where the player must player as ordinary animals surviving in a overgrown city. Humans have long since left and animals are left to roam and create a new food chain in this strange territory. Will you rise to the top? At the start of the game the player may choose which species he is from a series of animals. Like different breeds of dogs, cats, and other animals, horses, crocodiles etc.... These animals will all have different traits and stats that help out and affect the animal in different ways. From here the player must hunt food, feed, find or make a den, chase out or animals from your hunting grounds, find a mate, and then start up your dynasty. Once one of your animals dies you get to play as the strongest (or oldest of your children).

As the player explores more of the city, he will get to unlock new areas, come across big packs of animals, and start must territory fights. The game is over if you have no more playable animals left in your dynasty to play as.

Evolve or Die

EoD is a 3rd person action/adventure game set on an earth-like planet millions of years ago. The player plays as some sort of animal that is trying to live in a world which is undergoing massive change after a massive natural catastrophe occurred. Evolve or Die is similar in some aspects to Spore. The player must explore the world, attacking creatures and eating things to survive, while being forced along a general direction as the player flees the catastrophe. Whether it is a drought that is killing off plants, rising waters, or the coming of an ice age, the player must try flee for as long as he can until he believes that his creature can survive this new climate.

To do this the player must find other creatures with useful qualities while exploring and mate with them. Then the players creature will lay an egg and the player will decide which genes (from the parent creatures) the baby will get. The player will then play as the baby (be careful though, the baby will be very vulnerable until it grows up so the player must be aware of this).

The goal for the player is for the player to breed and evolve his creature until he believes that it will be able to survive in the new climate.

Gammatochi Egg Game

This game is for the ios and android devices. When the player downloads the app they are given an egg to look after, if the player looks after the egg it will soon hatch into a small creature of some sort. The type of creature depends on the average temperature the phone was at while in the egg. The software will use the phones thermometer to figure this out. If it was quite cold the creature will be for likely to grow fur and be more acclimated to cold areas, while if is hot scaly skin is more likely to from as it evolves.

Similar to the old Tammagotchi games the player must care for his pets needs to watch it grow up. Along with the basic playing things like playing games with your pet and feeding it, its evolution will also depend on where you are located in the world though gps and the temperature of where you live/go. It will also use the phones gyroscope/pedometer to judge how active the pet is. These things will also affect the pets personality. If you don't exercise with your pet if will grow lazy and become angry when you take your phone places (there also moving it). There will heaps more of these sort of interactions.

Eventually your pet will reach max evolution (or die) and will lay an egg so you can start again.
