HaberDashers is an arcade kart racing game for 1-4 players inspired by The Borrowers by Mary Norton and Studio Ghibli’s The Secret World of Arrietty. The game takes place in a house much like your own – except that in this house, tiny people live in the walls and come out to play whenever the humans have gone. On warm summer afternoons, the kids’ wooden toy tracks left scattered around the house become high-speed roadways as the HaberDashers come out to race!
This game is the product of a full semester’s work for a team of 50+ graduate students at the Guildhall at the ÃÛÌÒ½´Methodist University. As the second game the cohort members have made, and the first large-scale team project, HaberDashers was a crash course in teamwork and in development. Ultimately, it is a product of the passion and the dedication of the team! Thank you for playing.

Constellation is a 2D puzzle game for the Samsung Galaxy Tablet A. In it, players connect stars into shapes in order to help the main character, Comet, return to their home in the night sky over the course of nine unique levels.
Beginning on the far-left tile of the first screen, Comet progresses towards the right, moving from tile to tile as the player draws the shapes corresponding to each tile’s symbol in the stars overhead. At the far-right side of the first screen, the player is transported to a second screen with new tiles and new stars to use, this time with a new goal: a glowing tile that, when reached, signals the end of the level. Stars cannot be reused in multiple constellations, so players must plan carefully to make sure they have enough stars to complete each screen. Levels also allow players to collect lollipops to unlock bonus content about Constellation’s development!
Drawn in a cute, cartoony style, Constellation is a game for people who enjoy relaxing puzzles in between errands and other tasks in their daily lives. There are no timers, time limits, or limited undos in Constellation – only puzzles, Comet, and the stars.

The story of Dead Path follows Gilbert, the Industrial Wizard, as he tries to defend his various loot chests from Chad, the Hero. The game uses humor and its art style to bring the players into the story and feel invested in the characters. The core loop of the game involves the player iterating their placement of items throughout the level and will lead to a feeling of accomplishment as the player obtains mastery. The main control the player has is during the initial setup phase of the level before they click “GO!” and send Chad running after the loot. As the level is playing itself out, the player has no input and can only witness the results of their setup.

Slimey is a simple, fun, accessible and engaging puzzle-based role-reversal adventure. Using basic inputs, the player launches themselves around dungeons, turning the available traps against the enemy adventurers that inhabit each room using sticky splats and squishes, bloody explosions, and confetti-filled fanfare.
After witnessing the massacre of its people, only a lone slime in a fantasy/RPG setting remains. This slime seeks revenge as it sneaks into a low-level dungeon to turns the dungeon against the adventurers present in each level. Making its way into the castle dungeons, the slime uses its basic movement and slime-based abilities to rig traps in its favor. The adventurers still pose a great threat to the slime, so direct contact with them must be avoided. As the slime makes its way through progressively more difficult rooms, the traps scale in difficulty as well, meaning that more danger and complex puzzles stand between slimy and its revenge. After working its way through the whole dungeon, the slime then returns to its ruined home, leaving a sea of dead adventurers in its wake.

Hot Wings the Chicken is stuck in a city overrun with hostile robot enemies that eat chickens. Hot Wings’ hatchlings have been lost and are scattered around the city. Hot Wings must collect her hatchlings and stop the robots in order to proceed through the city and escape.
The game takes place in a cyberpunk, futuristic world with a darkly humorous tone. The environment is full of robots and futuristic technology, such as moving platforms. The world is crumbling and damaged due to being overrun by robots, so there are many dangerous drops and gaps. The dangerous feel of the environment is further enhanced by traps such as bloody rotating spikes.
This game is a puzzle-platformer in the vein of Mario, meaning that the player’s main goal is to use his/her platforming skills in order to reach the end of the level. However, there are three other goals that the player can strive for. Stars are awarded at the end of every level that rewards the player for completing each of the following goals: the player did not die, the player collected all the hatchlings, and the player beat the level.
Features of the game include jumping, double jumping, collecting hatchlings, and jumping on enemies to kill them. Double jumping allows players to reach higher platforms or avoid enemies altogether, while collecting hatchlings counts towards one of the player’s goals. Killing enemies also may be easier than avoiding them, but the player runs the risk of death. All of these features help support the core loop and pillar of platforming in our game.
