Scramble! is a mulitplayer, Simultaneous Turn Based dog-fighting game set during that intense and heroic phase of WW2, the Battle of Britain.

Competing players simultaneously issue control inputs for multiple aircraft while the action – and time – is paused. Those commands are then played out over a number of real-time seconds of action and animation, the consequences resolving simultaneously (shots are fired, loops are looped, collisions collided). The action is then paused once more and control inputs for the aircraft can be tweaked for the next action phase. This pattern repeats until the whole engagement is complete and you can watch the events back again as one uninterrupted dog-fight.

Crucially, players have a limited amount of time each turn to manually tweak the flight-paths of all their aircraft and get into firing positions. When the time runs out, both sets of aircraft move and shoot. Breaking down the real-time action into discrete chunks allows players to control an entire complex aerial battle with multiple aircraft in three dimensions. This creates rich tactical scope for players to use several aircraft in conjunction, forcing mistakes from their opponents, all the while up against the pressure of the clock.

You are a deep space salvage hunter who discovers the remains of the Starship Carpathian, thought to have been destroyed on a deep space mission nearly 50 years ago.

You’ve hit the jackpot. The data core housed in the ship’s AI will be worth a lifetime of credits on the Black Market, so you dock with the ship to retrieve it. The ship appears to be empty. There are no detectable life signs, and besides, surely nothing could still be alive after so many years?

Xenosis: Alien Infection is a retro-inspired, top down sci-fi adventure / survival game, with a focus on a story-driven single-player experience. Blending retro 2D pixel art, with 3D modern lighting, dynamic shadows and 3D positional audio to create a truly unique and immersive experience.

The Glass Ceiling Games is a feminist punk augmented reality game. Your goal is to slay a series of fantasy combat sports and boss up the ranks of a skyscraper called The System to smash the glass ceiling. It’s inspired by Riot Grrrl and structured like a punk album where each level is a new track.

The levels embed the digital in the real world, can be played anywhere and feature cathartic mechanics that include slingshotting catcalls, boxing stereotypes, macheteing unsolicited dick pix, batting away emotional labour, throwing babies in baskets labelled ‘man’s work’, and finally, shooting and dodging mansplains, before the glass ceiling smashes, The System building crumbles, and you’re left triumphant atop the rubble with a haul of freedom, money and joy points.

The game has an iconographic and DIY cartoon neon art style and bespoke soundtrack to immerse you in a satirical alternate power fantasy that subverts everyday sexism.
