These student projects are done as part of the two-to-four-week "Rapid Prototype Production" course, a boot camp for making first games and innovating gameplay. Both titles are same-box multiplayer, and downloadable to play on PC (be sure to read the system requirements, first).

Ballocalypse -- A puzzle game described as "intense, fast-paced, multi-player 'Pong meets Peggle' on steroids!" It's a fun diversion, and has some nice little add-ins like rumble, pan/tilt/zoom, etc.

Arcane Fury -- a straightforward, multiplayer contained arena multiplayer brawler, and there's something very satisfying about freezing and then pushing off another player (though boost is a tricky, as I keep sailing off the platform to my death).

Again, these titles were made in less than a month(ish), and have all of the gameplay elements tied in.

Like I said, I'm sure I've missed more titles that have recently released, so I'll try to pick those up in a later post.
