The Legend of Rogue Ball

Developed by: Brian Seney and Alfredo Porras

The player controls a character that can move around and fight monsters. The player’s goal is to take a ball to a goal while avoiding traps and monsters on the way. The player has several weapons at his disposal, such as a bow and a sword, that can be used when the player is not holding the ball. The monsters feature basic AI and can stalk the player and attack. Monsters include a large, hulking monster that is slow and takes up several blocks, a monster that uses a long range attack, and a monster that steals the ball from you. Obstacles to overcome include breakable boxes, movable blocks, and traps, which add puzzle elements to the otherwise action packed game.

Need for ASCeleration is an ASCII maze game. Inspired by Pacman and other classic video games Need for ASCeleration puts you in the drivers seat. The player must reach all checkpoints while avoiding enemy cars that are trying to stop you. Enemies are first driven by random path finding that makes the enemy run around the map while passing through choke points to keep the player on their toes. As the game progresses the enemies will proactively follow the player around the map forcing them to stay a step ahead of their opponent and reaching all checkpoints before they run out of gas.

Aether Rush

Developed by: Michael Frankfort and Ben Carlson

“Aether Rush” is a space shooter based around an interesting mechanic such as “Gradius” and “Ikaruga.” Players take to the sky over a forest and must take out as many enemies as they can. The key mechanic is that you cannot fire bullets but instead ram into your enemies to destroy them. One of the key features (which is not present in most scrolling shooters), the combo system is made possible only by this mechanic. Players must try to obtain higher combos but must be wary because they are vulnerable when they are in the cooldown stage following a charge.
