Another Chill Hell is a physics-based match-3 platformer starring Unity-Chan. Blocks of various shapes keep falling from the sky, but they quickly form combos of 3 or more that allow you to clean them up. Make sure to keep on top of your piles before you find yourself in the danger zone!!
Fiebre Mecha is a jam game about a tiny-but-mighty flying mech that protects future cities inside an expanding arena. Your combat craft comes equipped with multiple defense systems to help you keep the city defenses from falling. Shoot dozens of missiles, swing your mighty sword and use your exploding dash to stop all incoming alien ships.
An Excitebike-alike. You are Albus Dumbledore, skating his way through school halls, dungeons, and more. Pull sweet tricks off the stairs to build up your magic powers for building more stair-ramps or going turbo-speed. Top scores awarded for both tricks completed and speed through the level. Much magic abounds in this arcade action-er.
This level is all about the speed and jump paint types, with two particular big "set pieces" of bouncing. Hence, it's called "The Bounce." Both types of paint come in handy throughout this level and there is a fair degree of openness about the order in which you construct your solution. The core of the puzzle is fiendish indeed, but the solution will have you soaring with delight.
A "realistic wizard" action arcade game for Idle Thumbs Wizard Jam 2015. Draw demon sigils with your mouse under a time limit for high scores. Johann's Baton delivers the spooky fun with blach magic and high tension drawing action.
Mainframe is a "digital board game," with turn-based cyberpunk strategery for 2 or 4 players. One hacker dashes through the halls of an evil mega-corporation with three security agents hot on their tail. Can the hacker get to the mainframe and jack in before being caught and clubbed? Cartoon art and light procedural elements help make Mainframe an original multiplayer experience.

A big room with two sides. The left, a clear shot for someone or some thing to get launched across the goo. The right side, however, is a labyrinth of levers and pulleys. Both sides are pieces of the whole solution.
Lots of crate love throughout!
A short-ish level exploring a simple concept of one very tall room. Found some nuance and joy with the Portal 2 level editor on this one.
An improv/writing game for 5-20 players. Players form pairs and try to read each other's minds while building a story together. Each round of Story Swapper has new team-ups, new genres, prompts, and special word insertions that help you write up the wackiest, or the most appropriate story with your partner.
Who has the creative chops necessary to impress the judge?
