Love Bombed is a third person single player open world freeform shooter. You play as an ordinary citizen of New York City, working a 9-5 job, earning just enough to support yourself, and generally not getting along with anyone. But then Fate shines itself in your direction. Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of Love, has watched you from afar, and decided to Curse you. Why? Because the Greek Gods are known for doing random things. It was Poseidon's fault the Minotaur was created, after all. Either way, you become infused with the Power of Love, a literal beacon of all things beautiful in the world. It is now your duty to spread this love. You proceed out you apartment door, to find you can see the anger, hate, and loathing within the citizens of New York. You can travel anywhere in New York city, from Queens to the Bronx, spreading Love amongst the general population. You do this by literally shooting love from your hands, draining love from yourself into the targeted citizen. You can only do this so many times before you need a love recharge. You charge up by visiting major tourist attractions, and empowering yourself from the background love that every citizen has for the city. Completely filling one of the Five Boroughs with love will grant you more favour with Aphrodite, giving you additional ways to spread love, such as the Love Bomb, where you call a great burst of Love from the sky! watch out New York City, its time to be Love Bombed.

The Trials of Hypnos is a Third Person stationary shooter, themed around the concept of sleeping. You play as the Greek God Hypnos, god of Sleeping, Dreaming, and the subconscious. The Player Himself has gone to sleep for the night, and its your job to make sure no one disturbs his slumber. This means utilising a multitude of Mythological and Futuristic Weapons to defend The Player from nightmares. Hypnos is basically a stationary turret at the bottom of the screen, and players must rotate him to hit the multitude of incoming bad dreams and nightmares coming down from the top, each with their own erratic movement, but all trying to get to the bottom of the screen to wake The Player up. The Player can take 10 hits from Nightmares before he wakes up in abject terror. As the game progresses, along with weapon power ups, Hypnos can attain other Special abilities, such as a Bounce Shield to deflect Nightmares for a few seconds, or a Mind Purge, to clear all Nightmares from the board. But watch out! Good Dreams can also fall down from the top of the screen. These add more hit points to the player, but can still be attacked and destroyed by Hypnos's Weapons and Specials. Can you Conquer The Trials of Hypnos, and get a good nights sleep?
