Shackled Stones

  • ShackledStones_hotfix2.zip — Another minor fix. There was an invisible tile in the way of getting into the last room of the game and we didn't discover it until just now when we played through the game end-to-end.
  • ShackledStones_hotfix.zip — There were a few minor issues we discovered after we submitted that caused the game to be unplayable after the 2nd temple. This should resolve those. Since this game does take a LONG time to play, we may have to do another hotfix later.

Most Wanted Hipsters

A game of cat and mouse between San Diego's finest fixie riders and cops.

Instructions:
The game is comprised of several levels where the goal is to traverse the required miles while keeping as many hipsters from being arrested as possible.
Each level begins with a "place marker" phase. In this phase, you have to click on an intersection and drag the direction you want all hipsters to go when they reach the intersection. These markers affect all hipsters except for yourself. When you are done, you can press 'Space'

The game phase then begins. In this phase, you can control your lead hipster. Use your arrow keys to lead him around the city. If he passes by hipsters, they will start to follow him.

Lead your hipsters in their ride to spread their message without being caught by the cops!

SORRY!

You have been CAUGHT! Can you escape from this fiendish trandimensional puzzle space?

Himalia

Go rescue the King, who has been caught and made prisoner by hostile forces. Get close to him, and he will follow you. Then lead the King to the safe place, marked with a red cross. Avoid the field of view of the enemies at all costs. If they see you, or if they see the King following you, the game is over. And be careful with the sudden turns of the enemies! Controls: [+] Move with the arrow keys. [+] Hit spacebar to release the King, so he stops following you. It may be useful under some circunstances, because the game is over if the enemies can see the King following you, but nothing happens if they see that the King is alone. Get close to the King once more and he will follow you again. [+] Toggle the music On/Off with the 'M' key. [+] Adjust the zoom level with '+' and '-' keys. Pressing '*' restores the zoom to the original level. Zoom control is only available on Easy Mode, since zooming out the map can be an advantage to get the whole picture of the enemies positions.

Doctor How Caught in Chaos Pool!

You will assume the role of Doctor How Inhell, an unfamous alcoholic scientist. One stormy monday, while he was playing Billiard with some friends something strange happened... He had been caught into a chaotic ray shoot by Professor Lyapunov, an unknown mad pseudoscientist, and sent to a strange interdimensionless place called Chaos Pool (somewhere not so far from this universe). During his epic adventure he will have to understand the chaotic behaviour of a stadium billiard shape, and adapt his play skills... only empirical knowledge, luck and you will save him from an uncertain destiny... Do not try to integrate it.

Aerocapture

Unlike many games in this pyweek, the idea for this game is to get caught! By gravity and a planet's atmosphere. You have been travelling through space. A freak accident has caused you to be low on fuel and thrust. You must use your limited supply of fuel and the atmosphere of the planet in order to slow yourself down and make a safe landing.

Voices Under Water

Captain Bernard has lost his sailors at the bottom of the sea and he's throwing them liferings to save them.

You are Flapper the Friendly Dolphin and you have to help Bernard by catching the liferings to take them to his sailors.

Use SPACE to swim faster and the LEFT/RIGHT keys to turn. The trick is to swim horizontally for a bit to pick up speed and then turn to jump out of the water to catch the rings.

Enjoy!
