Follow Gangster Granny on her way out of the prison. Help her defeat anyone who dares to try and stop her from robbing the biggest bank in the city!
"Someone once told me, that some time ago in some place far away, there was this old granny. For some reason she was known as Gangster Granny. This was not so much for her connection with mafia families, but for her terrible deeds. Bank robberies, stealing gold, buying the most powerful weapons and getting into conflicts with the law all described her personality perfectly. She was a gangster alright! Of that there was no doubt!
She was tempted out of retirement by an irresistible job. The chance to rob biggest bank in the city. Granny did her best, but unfortunately she got caught and was sent to prison for a very long time. You may think this was the end of it...
But one day she got a package delivered to her cell from a secret sender, and there was a gun in it... Looks like it's time for her to finish the job she once started!"
Now, even the most fearsome enemy is no match for Gangster Granny!
Gas Guzzlers: Combat Carnage is a fast-paced addictive combat racing game for the PC.
The game features many different vehicles, weapons, upgrades, on-track bonuses as well as distinctive and astonishing environments. The player starts with a low-performance vehicle and gradually works his way up by earning money in a series of challenging races. With an initial amount of money, the player buys his first car without upgrades.
The game is run through the series of events\challenges that are divided into four separate categories. Categories, tracks and vehicles are unlocked as player progresses throughout the game. After selecting the class (only the first class is enabled at the beginning) selection of events follows. At the start of the game number of events is limited but it increases in time depending mainly on player's score. Unlocked events can be played an unlimited number of times and each time player can win points and money for the selected event.
The transition from the lower to the higher class is achieved by winning in the special tournament event. Besides the players, various AI simulated drivers engage in events and challenges. All AI drivers are simulated according to their parameters and settings. Computer opponents can progress and improve their vehicles in a way similar to the player's. This provides an additional reality aspect for the whole game. For each category there is an official rank roster which shows the current positions for all the drivers.
The player must achieve victories on a regular basis to be consistently at the top and earn the money to maintain his vehicle and save some for a new one. All upgrades come with price tags, which rise depending on the class car type.
Standard types of events/challenges are races, battle race, knock-outs and tournaments.

Elmer the "Ghost Wrangler" has been hired to remove a band of noisy, destructive ghosts haunting a mansion. Using a homemade gun that shoots out a fiery "plasma" ray, Elmer lassoes each ghost and traps them in a plasma sack. He later relocates the ghosts, releasing them in a remote ghost town to haunt happily ever after.
Your job is to help Elmer find and capture all the ghosts in the room, some of whom are hiding in bottles and pots. You have to fire the gun and loop the plasma ray around each ghost and guide them into the plasma sack. The ray itself burns and rips through anything it touches, leaving a path of massive destruction in its wake. Be careful, because some of the ghosts will attack by throwing objects at your gun, causing it to crack and leak plasma! You must complete your task before the gun releases enough plasma to reach a critical level, causing the entire room to blow to smithereens!

Gimbal is the multiplayer shooter with buildable vehicles. Players conduct team-based combat against one another, while gaining money and building bigger, better ships using over 60 different parts. Gimbal has a rigid body physics engine with aerodynamics, so all subcomponents affect speed and handling. Ships can be shared as PNG images because the ship data is stored in the PNG.
Gimbal Cop is a dynamic, cross-platform, multiplayer, creation-based racing game made by a small group of indie developers that call themselves Defective Studios. The Architect, in the lead, flies freely though space, creating a trail behind him that the rest of the players -- the Runners -- race along, trying to catch, and become, The Architect. You and your friends can race against each other using a local Wifi connection, with plans for Bluetooth multiplayer (so you can beat your friends anywhere you'd like!) coming very soon.
The Architect tries to avoid running into potato-asteroids and the track's own tail, as both slow him down dramatically. Aside from making a track that'll be hard for the Runners to stay on, his other offensive maneuver is manually dropping obstacles ("Drops") on the track. There are currently three unique tracks for the Architect to switch between (Octopus [default], Western, and Candyland), each of which has unique obstacles, both those automatically placed (like the suckers on the Octo track) and intentionally by the Architect.The Runner's goal is simple: don't fall off, and catch that Architect!
With obscenely bright, fun graphics, and kickass gameplay, Gimbal Cop will certainly have the player cursing out his dearest friends, yet begging to play another game.
A puzzle game for everyone!
