Guns of Icarus Online is a team-based online multiplayer airship combat game. Captain or serve as crew aboard an airship with your friends and fly into battle against other ships in a steampunk/dieselpunk-inspired, post-apocalyptic world. Each player takes on one of the three roles aboard the ship—Pilot, Gunner, or Engineer—and must work together to take down enemies and keep the ship flying. The game is all about teamwork, tactics, and fast-paced action.

No matter what games you play, you'll find something in Guns of Icarus Online. Each of our three roles offers unique gameplay and requires different responsibilities aboard your dirigible. The pilot controls the flow of combat by deciding when to engage and disengage with enemies. Fans of flight simulator and accurate physics flight models will get a kick. Gunners dish out the hurt to enemies with various damage types and coordinate with the pilot to keep shots lined up—a traditional FPS experience. People who don't tend to play shooters fall in love with the engineer, which is a mix of frantic time management and healer class mechanics. Do I repair the hull armor or fix the balloon first? Throw it all into a bag and it's live or die by your ship—the ultimate team experience.

Those henchmen of yours certainly won't get the job done themselves! Only you can turn those mindless fools into a fighting force worthy of serving a supervillain such as yourself. Exploit their individual strengths and dispatch them to wreak havoc on your enemies… all from the comfort of your evil lair. Just don't get too attached, since it's only a matter of time before they meet their doom.

Force fields, freeze rays, orbital strikes and teleportation devices? Yes, yes, yes and yes! Oh, and bombs. Lots and lots of bombs. Like a whole bunch. Seriously, there's a ton of explosions.

Some may still be foolish enough to challenge your obviously superior intellect. Crush them like the insects they are! Devastate your opponents across the internet or revel in their fear as you mercilessly decimate them face-to-face.

Buckle up, cupcake. It's time to rule the world.

So I've been sitting in front of my computer for the last 13 months making this game. It's some sort of crossover between ZiGGURAT, Smash Brothers and the "coffee break" minigame in Mario Paint, of all things. The result is an iPad-only arcade game, with pretty unique touch controls.

In HOOKBALL you use your grappling hook to punch monsters in the face and survive for as long as you can (typically not very long). It features lovingly hand crafted lo-fi pixel graphics, and a rocking rasta-chip soundtrack. It's a very focused arcade game that rewards precision and speed.

Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora is a single-player game aimed at PC / Mac / Linux. It plays best with a gamepad, but works great on mouse and keyboard.

On the one hand, it's a noir side-scrolling adventure platformer, stuffed with style and charm. You're Emma Jones - a two bit gal in an 8-bit world - and you're the Private Investigator on a string of grisly murders. You'll run, jump and climb through a massive 3D city (it's not just a flat sideways plane), sleuthing up clues and tracking down the killer.

All the while, your partner has your back. Francine - though she hates that name, so everybody calls her Franky. She's the cat that wore the fedora, the first feline ever to become an investigator. Whether you're up against Boxian mooks, rats hired as dumb muscle, stoolie pigeons, or even other cats - she never leaves your side.

On the other hand, it's Metroidvania inspired - but with more of the Metroid, less of the vania. It's an explorable city with soul! Full of characters to chat up and secrets to explore, it's not just a corridor you fight through on your way to your next ability.

Speaking of new abilities - you will find different cartridge types for your revolvers. Change the way you play with knockbacks, grapplers, blood splatters, fireworks and more! Knock down locked doors, panic other characters into letting you slip past, and grapple up buildings. Each new tool unlocks a new corner of the world so you can find even more clues and secrets! Each one brings you a step closer to unraveling the mystery, and finding the killer.

That said, this isn't your typical run and gun. Sure, there's plenty of shooting, but your gun is a tool, not a weapon. Violence isn't always the answer - you've got to use your head!

This is a game not about shooting and killing, neither about finding an entity for the next level, nor practicing skills.This game is about Reincarnation into different lifes, experiencing the life of different creatures and observing the world from a inordinary view.

We are familar with observing the world as a human, but how about if our body is different from what we are now, what would we do, if we were a plant, a butterfly, a turtle, or another kind of life? Will that give us a better view of how we observe the world and will give more respect to others, rather than just looking at ourselves? Moreover, what if we had "previous lives" and "next lives", and all of the lifes are conected, what we did in a "previous life" will have a certain influnce on our "next life", everything happens for a reason. No matter how we look, where we are, what kind of body we have, our soul is not changing and it is growing through time, through millions of years.
