This variation of the top-down shooter has monsters of various sizes and speeds and health levels. It is not very forgiving, as the player has only a single life! What's your high score?

This top-down shooter has it all... coins to collect, health, different monsters, and a machine gun (press the center mouse wheel). It is quite challenging and the coin-collection is a good addition. It is one of the few student projects with a second layout for the game over message, and the keys follow the WASD layout rather than arrows.

This platform jumper and shooter has some very unique elements. The bad guy is the QuinnHead that shoots lips at you, and there are invulnerable enemies that mimic your movements. Big blue platforms move in a set pattern. The custom artwork is avant-guarde and is sure to question the reality juxtaposed upon you as player.

This platform jumper is a great example of how a creative layout can take a simple concept and result in a challenging level.

This platform game is based on the tutorial provided by Scirra, and demonstrates the ease with which a simple platformer with animations may be created.

This intriguing game has a seemingly simple objective... create a pipeline to bring the coffee beans to the goal on the far side of the screen. There are obstacles that the pipeline must route around. The real challenge is that there are tanks that appear, and they want, more than anything, to destroy your coffee pipeline!  It is possible to build turrets to defend against the tanks, resulting in a unique real time strategy experience.

This platform fighter demonstrates some great additions to a standard jumper. All artwork, even the bricks, is orginal. The fighter can use his sword or fire a ranged weapon. The level is laid out well, and the results are quite challenging, especially if you use just the sword. Also appreciated are the instructions that appear as you progress through the level. Rumors about a secret passage have been overheard.

This game seems simple but is surprisingly difficult as you must navigate left and right, collecting stars while shooting enemies.

This top-down shooter is challenging due to the changes in gravity. Each colored region resets the direction of gravity. There are turrets that shoot at you, and the gravity changes make it difficult to destroy the turrets. Very creative!

This student project is very impressive due to the original artwork that he created and adding a health bar and an acid bath.
