In Element4l, you control the state of your character to find your way through a dreamy underworld. Your only hindrances are nature and the sun. It takes a different, experimental approach to classic platform games and challenges you to rearrange your reflexes. The state-changing, physics-based gameplay invites all ages to think logically, and reveals that pressing the right button at the right time, is often more rewarding than speed. Just when you thought pressing the left button would make your character go left, Element4l crushes this doctrine.

Endless Space is a 4X strategy game covering the space colonization age, where you can control every aspect of your civilization: Economy, Diplomacy, Science and War.

This galaxy is ancient, and its first intelligent life was the civilization we call the Endless. Long before our eyes gazed upon the stars they flew between them, though all that remains of this people is what we call Dust. A substance found scattered or in forgotten temples, it once gave powers to admirals and galactic governors. The galaxy will belong to the faction that can take control of the Dust and uncover its secrets…

Envelop is a arcade-puzzle game that uses a unique multi-touch input mechanism to manipulate an envelope into the right shape to capture the oncoming blue blocks (while avoiding red ones) before time runs out. Your envelope cannot be split into multiple pieces and can't be merged in a way that would create holes.

Perfectly capture each blue block pattern to increase your multiplier. Miss blue blocks or capture red ones and your meter goes down. How far can you get before your meter runs out?

Eros - an audio-visual poem.

Eros can't really be described as a game.

It's more in line with Tale-of-Tales' concept of "real-time art".

It's not about competition or goals, but being in a space, and just taking in the experience.

What's it about? Well, that's not really for me to say, but for you to decide.

Evo Dash, a fast-paced retro platformer based on a Ludum Dare entry from the August 2012 competition (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-24/?action=preview&uid=12356). Evo Dash features wild, hectic platforming action taking place in a completely randomized world, making every playthrough different from the next. As the game progresses, new opponents and bosses will cross your path in random order and with random properties. Your goal is to survive as long as possible in the three difficulty settings, which range from tricky to fiendishly hard. Can you adapt to the new challenges, or will you perish while trying?

Evo Dash aims to be an enjoyable experience in bite-sized chunks; something you keep coming back to when you have a couple of minutes. The randomness guarantees a fresh experience every time you start up the game, and the challenge will keep you coming back to beat your high score.

Exeunt is an autorun game inspired by the Occupy Movement and progressive metal.

In the spirit of the progressive rock movement of the 70s, Exeunt attempts to move the interactive medium forward by combining simple and fun gameplay with a political message. In London 2003, a million people marched against the Iraq war. Unsuccessful, a generation were shown that they had no say in the actions of their government and retreated to a life of escapism in games and fast paced media. Finally, after nearly a decade, the Occupy Movement seeks to reignite the passions of the downtrodden 99% with a clarion call against climate change, inequality and state sponsored violence.

Exeunt reflects the anger and energy of Occupy. When an animal is backed into a corner, it becomes the most dangerous thing on Earth. Become the animal. Become the revolution.

On its surface, Extrasolar appears to be a scientific expedition that has opened the doors to volunteers who can help direct rovers around the surface of an extrasolar planet, exploring it one photo at a time. Before long, the story back on Earth becomes just as compelling as the startling discoveries on the planet as our player finds herself at the center of a conspiracy, not sure whom to trust.

Extrasolar is pioneering new gameplay and technology. Gorgeous images of the planet's surface are rendered in the cloud and delivered to the player every few hours, making each player's experience unique and raising the bar for the appearance and immersion of Web games.

Get ready to defend the world: Fieldrunners 2 has arrived! The fieldrunners are back and more mischievous than ever in Subatomic Studios' follow up to their original tower defense classic, Fieldrunners, winner of the Best Game and Achievement in Art awards in the 2009 IGF Mobile. Build winding mazes out of deviously charming weapons to defend the world from the invading clone army of fieldrunners!

Subatomic Studios is aiming to raise the bar for tower defense with Fieldrunners 2, starting with an all new engine that was years in the making. New enemy AI allows every single fieldrunner to choose their own path across the battlefield. Drag towers through the swarms of troops to watch them dynamically change their routes in real time, wrapping around defenses just like a realistic mob of angry clones! Bridges, tunnels, ramps, and trenches add depth to the war zone, challenging players to use these obstacles to their advantage. New modes, like Puzzle and Sudden Death, put a unique twist on the genre. Creative weapons, like flame-throwing Jack O'Lanterns and beehive launchers, allow players to assault their foes in disturbingly hilarious ways. With all this and more wrapped up in a hyper detailed 2D world filled with gorgeous, hand painted artwork, players are in for a real treat. Strategic-Action-Puzzle-Defense has never been this fun and addicting!

An emergent language, card-based, fighting game that lets you live out the tense moments before an epic kung-fu battle.

You are a fighter on the side of justice who has been severely wronged by the opponent you now face. Unfortunately, your opponent feels the same way about you. Only one of you can win -- the one who deserves it -- the one who has been most wronged by the other. So before the fists fly you must use your words to prove that if there is any justice in this world, you shall triumph.

Craft attacks where accusing your opponent of such horrible sins as "killing your grandfather", "destroying your hometown", "stealing your DNA" or even "banishing your ant farm to the phantom zone."
Add extra omph to your accusations with combos like: "you killed my grandfather WITH A PENCIL" or "you destroyed my hometown EVERYDAY FOR 15 YEARS".
When the going get's tough, slander the subjects of your opponent's accusations: "your grandfather was secretly Hitler!"; or counter their attacks by exclaiming "THAT'S A LIE!"

With these tools you can use your words to prove to the universe that you were the most wronged because in the end only one can win, the one with the best Fighting Words.

Finitris is a puzzle game based on the relation between regular expressions and finite state machines. The game presents the player a regular expression. The player must construct a finite state machine, which accepts all the strings matched by the regular expression and rejects all the strings not matched by the regular expression. The game will try to outsmart the player by periodically feeding the machine strings, which are incorrectly accepted or rejected by the machine as it is. This also helps the player to see what the problem spots of the machine are.

Finitris includes a comprehensive tutorial which explains the game interface and the concepts, so no prior knowledge of regular expressions or finite state machines is required.

Finitris is made with Javascript, and the graphics use the SVG library Raphael. Be sure to zoom the browser screen so that the game screen is as large as possible. Full screen mode is recommended.

This is a puzzle platformer for 1-2 players that centres around the mechanic of not being able to jump but instead being able to create a magic ladder whenever the player is on the ground. Progress through the game is measured by the number of gems collected that are spread throughout a map of connected rooms, some of them hidden by secret walls.

Ladders can be used to activate switches, bent round corners, pass through special teleporters, kill monsters, sent on journeys by moving platforms and most importantly they can also collect gems for you, creating a vast variety of opportunities for puzzles and action-challenges.

At any time a second player can jump into the game and help solve puzzles (some puzzles co-op only, some puzzles hackable with co-ordinated efforts) or split up to divide and conquer the search for gems. Leaving the game is just as simple, allowing players to teleport to each other when the need arises or take a break without interrupting the pace of the game.

The game world spreads across several themes (some visible in the trailer and screenshots) with many more mechanics than seen in the demo, including: fireballs that interact with ladder manipulating devices, magic ladder destroying goop, patrolling duck guards that can use your ladders and teleportation to save points at any time using your map.

Foldit is a game in which players compete and collaborate to fold proteins, using a variety of tools to pull, shake and wiggle the protein into the correct shape. The challenge creating Foldit was to combine the power of computers and human minds to allow ordinary (or extraordinary) people to contribute to science - without needing any prior education. This was no easy task, as protein folding is extremely complex - and so is the software that tries to model it.

Most games start with a game engine. Foldit started with a heart of biochemistry. To ensure the game would produce valid scientific results, the game was built on top of the protein modeling software Rosetta. The developers of Foldit had to take software that was designed for scientists to run computation-heavy, distributed batch computations and create a real-time, interactive game. The game also had to present this complex biochemical model in a intuitive and fun way that could be understood by players.

Already, Foldit players have contributed to several important scientific results, including solving a protein structure that had stumped scientists for over a decade. With the introduction of protein design to the game, players helped to design a synthetic enzyme and improve nearly 20x over it's initial activity. Foldit enables players to tackle some of the hardest problems of our time - whether it's fighting cancer, coming up with solutions for clean energy or curing the flu. With Foldit, players have the potential to make a significant impact on the world around them.

Real-Time Strategy Redefined in Space. Experience the true impact of strategic decisions without being bogged down by tight build orders.

Choose your commanders wisely. Communicate with them. Extend your command, build your defences. Know your enemy well, read his next move, counter his strategies.

What will be your battle plan?

Imagine this, imagine that you've been an avid fan of strategies, strategems and tactics. You can relate easily to history, military textbooks and novels. But, is it possible to apply it in a RTS? In Foresight, yes you can.

=== Realism of Command ===
Realism of command permits such application of strategy, strategems and tactics. Realistic in a way that you, the player, although limited by some means, do not have to chase tech trees in a specific manner within a limited time frame in order to achieve a viable force.

=== Viability ===
In Foresight, it's much easier to be a viable force to be reckoned with. All available arsenal in the tech tree are available to you as soon as you've gotten your first shipyard. You may ask... so does that mean that I can build the largest ship in the game right from the start? Well, technically, you can do that. But this choice will cost you precious momentum in generating your economy. A large ship will easily starve you your precious credits required to build up a balanced fleet.

=== Responsibility of Choice ===
You are responsible for everything that happens in Foresight as a field commander. But you make only the choices and not control the path(s) that lead to them. This means when you request for a fighter to be built and deployed onto a ship of your choice, you don't have to hand-hold this puny fighter all the way from construction, till deployment, till delivery, and till it enters your ship's hangar bays.

Micro-management is not prohibited, but it's not encouraged either.

=== Strategy-Based ===
Foresight is true strategy-based. Its core game mechanisms revolve around it. We want you to enjoy playing a real game of strategy and wits with your opponents rather than to struggle hard enough just to be viable. This means, we've made it easy for you to build up your forces. You'll be in charge of planning strategies on how to deploy those forces, including organization of your defenses. You'll have to think far enough in order to attain victory; a quick rush simply won't do.

FREEQ is an audio adventure game about eavesdropping and meddling with the future. Your device has acquired the ability to tune into transmissions from the future - but something in the future has gone terribly wrong. Love triangles, illicit affairs, global cataclysm, and a pizza guy who isn't what he seems - these are among the things you'll find when you surf the pulses. And the outcome of these things? Entirely in your hands.

Inspired by classic radio dramas and borne out of a frustration with the branching narrative formula, FREEQ is about having a passive and indirect influence on game events. In the game, you'll intercept calls and radio transmissions and be able to influence who those calls are connected to. Those actions all have consequences and play out as you jump through time, but you can't talk to the future. You can only listen to it and affect who talks to each other. Can you save the world and help true love win out WITHOUT directly choosing what will happen? That's the point of FREEQ.

I spent a lot of time on it; I think it's really swell,
It's very educational, I hope you can relate!
It teaches about fractions, which I think are pretty great...

This game is about learning, even when you are a frog!
And catching bugs that eat the fruit that grows within your bog,
They want to steal your fruit away, but it is not for them!
So snap them up with your long tongue, before they reach the stem...

All the fully ripened fruits are legal currency!
Spend them at the store to purchase frog technology.
How this ties to fractions is a little bit obscure,
but if you don't know fractions then this game may be your cure!
