Mars Faction is a resource gathering factory game. Each player is assigned a different faction and all must survive on mars. The players are viewed from a town down view and are controlled with the WASD keys. The players must start from basics, mining metals and rocks from the surface of the planet, gaining enough reasources to slowly automate things. The players must build intricate factorys to gather, along with defences to protect against mars's harsh environments and other inhabitants... The object of the game is for each player to have a large sprawling base that is covered in pumps, pipes and pistons, all designed to efficiently gather resources and then turn them into objects. Players must find an engery source and use that to power systems, build drones that defend and construct ways of transport to get around.
As the players build these factories the current population of mars, a huge swarm of alien beasts, will become enraged and wage war against the human structures. The players will have to decide whether or not to form alliances and share resources or to face the wrath of mars along.
The idea behind Mars Faction is to combine Open TTD and Factorio.

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.

Quake!
This game is a 2D platformer based inside a house or building of some kind. The player is woken from his sleep by an earthquake that is shaking his house causing it to collapse! The objective of the game is for the player to survive the earthquake. This can be achieved by building a rag-tag shelter that can withstand falling bits of the building as it begins to collapse around you.
The earthquake will only last a few minutes but it grows in strength the longer it lasts. The player must rush around quickly in the early stages of the game grabbing items like duct-tape, a hammer, PVA glue and other household items and use them to build a bunker out of tables, bits of wall, pillows, metal plates etc... And then must hold out in it until the earthquake subsides. The player can repair parts of the shelter but if it breaks and he gets crushed its game over.
Different types of items are found in their respective rooms (kitchen items in kitchen, car parts and stuff in the garage, tables and chairs in the dining room) and doors to different rooms may be locked and have to be unlocked or broken into. Because the building is collapsing, if the player builds near the top of the house he has a much higher chance of dying straight away by falling through the floor so it is much safer to build on ground floor. However because each house is randomly generated the player will first have to explore the house to find different rooms, then get the stuff he needs and bring it someplace safe, then build a shelter all while the house around him is falling down. If the player survives earthquake then a new house is randomly generated and the player can play again.
Below are some examples of what the randomly generated houses may look like.
