Dagat by Chua Productions
Dagat is a cute endless runner game, where you are a fish who was separated from their school. (Since it's swimming, maybe it should be called "endless swimmer" instead??)

Rollie by Optovania
Rollie is a newly completed side-scrolling run & jump platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Player controls Rollie, a raccoon who rolls and bounces through a forest to save it from greedy animals. Similar in depth, scale, and gameplay to the original Super Mario Bros. but a little more fast paced.
Ice Cream Tornado by Project Beanstalk
Ice Cream Tornado is a game that combines the fun of ice cream with the craziness of a tornado. In this 2D mobile endless runner, there are several objects flying towards the ice cream tornado including people, animals, and ice cream. You have to swipe away people and animals from the tornado to save them, and let ice cream into the tornado for more points.
eCheese Zone by Seemingly Pointless
The eCheese Zone is a crowd punishment party game. Although the game is played with a single mouse, it organically gathers crowds of players together to complete the game’s challenges. And the challenges are numerous! Filled with tense mini-games, players need to follow strict directions or they will be booted to a punishment wait timer. One that feels all the more real as the eCheese Zone has a 5 hour playtime limit. Once up, the game closes and forgets all progress. As such, the whole game is winnable in one go, but players must know the secrets and tricks to unlocking deeper levels of the game.
Clarum by SHATTERED PERSPECTIVES
Clarum is a non-violent VR dream simulator inspired by old surrealistic games like LSD: Dream Emulator and Soul Trap as well as old school RPGs like Xanadu. It is using Oculus Rift and Oculus touch controllers with retrofitted Nintendo Power Pad (optional physical locomotion) and Aura Interactor (optional vest-based wearable haptic feedback) hardware for extra immersion.
The Clairvoyant by Weird Sisters Interactive
You may not be able to see dead people, but you can definitely hear them. Become a medium by using the Bose AR technology to tune into the auditory spirit plane full of the pleas of ghosts yearning to cross over and an originally composed score by Nomi Abadi. Players must navigate by turning and looking around to follow the cries of ghosts while also avoiding contact with dangerous poltergeists who try to lead you astray by mimicking the distressed ghosts. Once a ghost in need is located, players will assist them by performing tasks such as nodding along to their stories, dancing, hopping, or watching the stars. Players will embody their role as a spirit medium by creating salt circles and performing calming techniques to escape possession.
