> Game: Analemma
> Technology: Cube 2 Engine - Sauerbraten
> Description: Save the known universe by rescuing the scientist and defeating Mortis and his evil henchman.

> Game: Escape the Lab!
> Description: A side-scrolling platformer about a defective robot's escape from the laboratory in which he was born.
> The robot's legs don't work so he must use his jetpack (which propels him forward constantly and only can be controlled in short bursts) to manoeuvre around the level and shoot switches to clear his path.
> --------------------
> Game: Downfall of Arthium
> Description: Enter into a immersive isometric world as the villain of the thriving kingdom of Arthium, locked up after committing heinous crimes against the crown.
