RunGunJumpGun

developed by thirtythreegames | Platforms: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS

“A tough as nails game that puts a gravity-defying weapon in your hands. One button lets you fly, the other blasts obstacles out of the way. With a cast of crazed characters, challenging gameplay, and a pulsing musical score, it delivers twitchy platforming goodness.”

Candle Man

developed by Spotlightor Interactive | Platforms: Xbox One

“As an action adventure game…the game uses the mechanics of light and shadow combined with an immersive story. The player takes on the role of a lowly candle with the ability to burn for a meagre 10 seconds. The brevity of candle man’s power is it’s only resource against the challenges and obstacles in the dark shadows. There are a wide range of environments to explore, which enable players to experience an unsettling but also intriguing adventure.”
