Aquadrenaline is a multiplayer sports game. Players drive around in hydroplane vehicles competing in a classic game of capture the flag. The game features kart-style items and weapons such as torpedoes and boosts, but also crazier items such as a plasma cannon and "boop gun."

Aquadrenline is an awesome experience because the movement and physics system are so robust; players can fly off waves and ramps and do aerial tricks, such as rolls and flips.

CrystalBound is a top-down action-adventure game where 2 players work together to explore a mysterious subterranean environment and defeat cursed creatures.

What makes CrystalBound special is its dedication to co-operation. When the players start the game they're immediately cursed; this curse binds them together, and if they get too far away their life force is drained! The players also share their life force, so if one player takes a hit, both players feel the pain.
