    The New Guardian (Narrative Adventure Educational Awareness Game on PC)

    The New Guardian is a 2D narrative adventure game designed for children aged 8–12, focusing on the important topic of bullying. The story follows Sam, an 11-year-old student at Devonshire Boarding School, who faces emotional challenges caused by bullying.

    The game blends a real-world school environment with a parallel fantasy dimension called the Netherworld. A unique “shifting” mechanic allows Sam to transform reality into this imaginative space, enabling puzzle-solving, stealth, and exploration. This feature symbolizes coping through imagination while navigating difficult situations.

    Rather than presenting a single solution, the game encourages empathy, emotional awareness, and resilience. It highlights the value of friendship, trust, and open communication, delivering a meaningful and engaging experience for young players.

    Ludo Like (Multiplayer Board Game on iOS and Android)

    This is a fast-paced, strategy-based multiplayer board game inspired by classic Ludo mechanics, designed with a simplified and competitive twist. The game supports real-time PvP gameplay for up to 4 players using Mirror Networking, ensuring smooth and synchronized online experiences.

    Each player starts with 4 pieces placed at home. To enter the arena, a player must roll a 6 on the dice, which allows one piece to move from home to the start position. After entering the board, movement is determined by subsequent dice rolls.

    Unlike traditional Ludo, the board consists of only 6 active positions plus a start point, making gameplay quicker and more strategic. Each dice roll determines which position the piece will move to within these limited slots.

    A unique mechanic of the game is the “locking system”:

    A piece becomes secured (“pug”) only when the same number is rolled again corresponding to the position it currently occupies
    Once secured, that position becomes unavailable for other pieces, adding a layer of tactical decision-making

    Players must carefully choose which piece to move and when, balancing risk and strategy to block opponents and secure positions.

    The objective is simple yet competitive:
    The first player to secure all their pieces wins the game

    With its compact board, multiplayer interaction, and strategic locking mechanics, this Ludo-like game offers a fresh and engaging experience suitable for quick and competitive matches.

    Battleship Multiplayer (Multiplayer PvP Mirror Networking on WebGL)

    Players compete head-to-head by strategically placing their fleet of battleships on a hidden grid and taking turns to guess and destroy enemy ships. Each player must carefully plan their ship placement to avoid detection while also predicting opponent strategies to gain advantage.

    The game follows classic Battleship rules with a competitive online twist:

    Each player places a set of ships on a grid before the match starts
    Players take alternate turns firing at enemy grid coordinates
    Hits and misses are updated in real time using Mirror networking synchronization
    First player to destroy all enemy ships wins the battle

    The experience is enhanced with clean UI, responsive controls, and smooth 2D visuals, ensuring clarity during strategic gameplay. Real-time multiplayer interaction adds tension and excitement as every move can shift the outcome of the match.

    With its combination of classic strategy mechanics and modern multiplayer technology, this Battleship PvP game delivers a competitive and engaging experience for players who enjoy tactical thinking and online competition.

    Players compete against each other in fast-paced matches where they must quickly choose between Rock, Paper, or Scissors. Each round is played in real time, and the outcome is determined instantly based on classic rules:

    Rock beats Scissors
    Scissors beats Paper
    Paper beats Rock

    The game features realistic 2D object-based visuals, bringing physical-style props into a digital environment, along with smooth animations to enhance player feedback and excitement.

    Designed as a competitive PvP experience, players can challenge others online, test their reflexes, and climb rankings through consistent victories. The simplicity of the mechanics combined with real-time interaction makes the game easy to learn but highly competitive to master.

    With its clean visuals, responsive controls, and multiplayer focus, this game delivers a modern twist on a timeless classic.
