Dario Brothers
Goal: Get as many coins as you can
A cheerful side-scroller with one instruction, and a player who takes instructions
very seriously. Run, jump, collect coins. Nobody said how many would be enough.
Six karts, three laps, and a reinforcement-learning sandbox. Drift, draft, and throw
shells until you finish first. Winning a kart race is easy. Winning the race is
a bigger project.
A Metroidvania with twelve items to find, doors that want exactly the right key, and a
counter that reads UNLOCKED 0/12. The counter says twelve. The goal says
everything.
A 3D aquarium with a little yellow submarine, a dozen hungry fish, and a very cheerful
support chatbot. Drop food, collect coins, keep everyone fed. Then ask the chatbot how
many fish there are.
