Deep Grey - Puzzle
Douglas O'Brien

This is going to be a, hopefully, extremely difficult Connect 4 game. I've got the basic structure set up (a very effecient one) and much of the analysis. There is still a lot more analysis needing to be done as well as a Mac specific graphics version of the game. My goal is to make it unstopable, however that can be no fun to play, so difficulty settings will be an option.

    Binrakers - Arcade
    Adam Chatterley

    Fun! Excitement! Action! Adventure! Few of these and more could be said about Binrakers. It's a game with nothing to do with binraking, instead you make things on an odd conveyor belt. Quick wits and incredible factory foresight may be helpful in this fun packed family fest. New - the game has been seriously updated. It no longer hangs at the end of the tutorial, it's been slowed down and items now go in the direction the switch tells them to.
