Roller Drama
A SITCOM?!?
In Roller Drama you (Joan) live together with five athletes as their coach and hopefully friend:
Anne, Portia, Pippi, Cordelia, and Juliet. They just formed a Roller Derby top team!
Portia is the property “guardian”, the others (you too) just squatted in the dilapidated building. You have to try to be the balancing factor as these top athletes develop close personal relationships and the group navigates rivalries, love stories, and sexual tension.
REAL-TIME FULL-CONTACT SPORT!
All this while playing Roller Derby-like full-contact matches, where in real time you have to give the right hints, decide strategies, and give orders. You’ll have arcade-like controls and power cards!
SURVEILLANCE
Daily life in the game’s world is not easy; political and environmental problems interfere with complex personal lives. The game’s universe is a slightly altered perspective of today’s world, with the same problems but… more explicit. It’s a dystopia that talks about our present (thank you Terry Gilliam).

Wigged Out
Wigged Out takes place in a historically inaccurate past where two rival schools go head-to-head in a hilariously chaotic ball game that’s won by moving the Big Ol' Ball(BOB) into the opponent’s goal. Moving the BOB is simple; just throw everything you find at it! Get to one of the many item crates on the field, which will contain anything from a rubber turkey to The Ballzooka, let loose and watch the BOB fly! Unless you end up hitting one of your opponents. Or a teammate. In that case, watch them fly!
Be wary though as your opponent isn’t the only threat out there; Watch out for fire hydrants and manholes ready to burst at any moment, or the school mascot goat that found its way onto the pitch and is attacking anything in its path! These and many other environmental hazards could be lurking around the corner.
Your WigOut ability can be activated after your wig reaches full capacity by making good plays. When activated, your character embraces their unique talent and wreak havoc on the pitch!
More than 80 colourful levels across different themed settings, with different sets of items, hazards and goal types!
Tired of your old wig? Want a new one to look more sophisticated? You might be thinking “but madam, I don’t have a penny to spare for one of them fancy wigs” - no worries, in Wigged Out you earn your wigs by playing and doing performing well! So just do that and you’ll be swimming in powdered perukes!
The game offers an over the top experience with hilarious gameplay that can be played both locally and online. Throw in a couple of bots and you will never feel alone again!

Russian Roads is a 3D third person road racing game made out of a series of Unity Asset flips. It’s designed as a mostly joke game to lambast the state of roads in Russia, as the tracks have a series of potholes and other aspects of disrepair that act as obstacles to the driver.
Despite some effort around assembling a game from a racing template and some low quality/asset flipped vehicles and environments, the end product is still obviously asset flip tier and of such poor quality that I can’t recommend it. The joke premise is mildly amusing for around 2 minutes. Laush Studio has a long history of these kinds of frankenstein asset flips, and this is no exception to their record of poor quality bundle fillers.

Practical Shooting Simulator
If you have any interest in stage design or competition shooting, this “game” (more like tool) has the potential to be your best friend. I’m excited to see how 269th builds on it in the future and I’m hoping to see:
1: More targets (such as the dreaded texas star or spinner)
2: A “shoot until hit scored” command, which would lead into…
3: More “useful” gear and ammunition management
4: And I think this goes without saying … many more guns and modding!
I never thought I needed something like this, but it has helped me conceptualize real-world stage design and I have already replicated a few of my own into the game to see how fast Megadroid Laura Croft can complete them.

3D Jigsaw Puzzle Simulator
I liked the 3d feel to this game. It is really a unique game the way pieces can be picked up, overlapping, and even upside down. Sometime pieces will fall on the floor instead of the table and you will need to navigate to pick them up. Strangely enough I enjoy the challenges of placing pieces. However, the update in the spring kind of broke the enjoyment because the graphics look like you are putting together a quilt instead of a puzzle. The borders are too distracting so it is difficult to know which piece goes where. If development can provide the option so the graphics clearly transition to the next piece as before I would make this my favorite puzzle game. Right now it is borderline to recommend the game because of the quilt appearance, but do like the developers ingenuity.

When I was a child I liked to solve puzzles, the game helped me to recall memories. Great implementation! Can’t remember such thing made in 3d setup.
