HopSlide consists of two games.
In Hop you can explore a large, blue world. There are some platforms to jump on, springs to launch you into the air, a mysterious map room to investigate and two doors (but they don't seem to go anywhere).
In Slide you can slide some colored blocks around. There are some markings on the blocks (but who cares what those are for). Slide doesn't come with any music so maybe you should leave Hop running in the background.
Hop and Slide are definitely not connected in any way.

Toast Time is a throwback to the golden age of video games where old-school homebrew titles fused arcade action with a distinctly British sense of humour.
An appetizing arena shoot-em-up garnished with tower-defense elements and served warm with awesome-sauce (probably syrup).

This top-down shooter lampshades the danger of things like Stargates by having the player defeat wave after wave of enemies.
This is a solid shmup. Hectic gameplay, a visual assault of particles and enemies. Smooth controls, fun weapons, and just intense arcade action. Eager to see the finished game
Gameplay seemed like it lacked depth, but overall was an enjoyable action game from what I played. I liked the visuals and animation flourishes in the combat as you dodge and parry attacks.
Another really fun shmup. The glitch visuals are cool and stylish, controls are responsive, and the gameplay gets very frantic and frenetic as enemies flood the arena. While you only have two weapons - a short range laser-sword esque beam and a screen clearing superbeam that needs to be charged - it's the varied enemies and visuals effects that makes We Are Doomed stand out.

Dog Park - 2014
http://dogparkgame.com/
Dog Park is a local multiplayer dog 'em up
Become a dog as you chase, wrestle, cavort and gambol with other players in a chaotic struggle to have as much fun as you can. A fighting game without the fighting, Dog Park asks you to release your inner pup.
After that, Im going to try to take it to some other festivals and events, because Im really designing it as a party game thats best played in person with a bunch of other people around. Dog Park is actually only one piece of a larger, dog-related project, however, and when Im done with this piece Im going to start figuring out how to get all of it out to people who cant come out to these events.
10. One last random question. If you could have anything you like attached to your chin, what would it be and why?

Not really, the physics seemed off and the controls seemed more cumbersome than fun to me.
I'm on the same boat.
