Contagion
Contagion is a RTS game where you take on the role of the Brigadier General, commanding an army of viruses known only as Novas. Your mission is to attack the body starting with the eye in the first level and then moving out from your beachhead to the kill of the body that your army has infested. How you achieve your victory is up to you. In Contagion, you have the option of building, morphing units, and defending your base from counter-attacks by the body’s defenses. You must utilize and manage your resources wisely. When the body discovers you are out of resources, it will send its strongest wave of antibodies to eradicate you and your army.

Dark Deed
Dark Deed is a top down adventure based, time critical game where players race against the clock and swarms of enemies as they make their way through 3 levels of fast paced fun. Enemies follow the player dynamically based on their position so each play through makes for a unique experience that requires fast thinking as well as skill to complete, and no level is ever quite the same twice. The play experience is augmented by the over-the-top nature of the game, which is reinforced at the beginning of each level by introducing a new “locale” through a small cut scene. By combining the comedic aspect of portraying a demonic sperm and the quick, yet deeply strategic nuances of control and enemy behavior, Dark Deed strikes a fun and funny balance that will captivate you.
