Omnomelettes by Dylan

Welcome to Omnomelettes, the egg-operated cook-to-order omelette restaurant. Our staff give their all to ensure you have a quality breakfast.

The Trenches by Jacob

You are a German Soldier trapped in the eastern front, however all gun fire and artillery fire has ceased. The Trenches have grown immensely quiet.

Your goal is to collect two halves a car key to escape the Trench. W to move forwards A to turn left D to turn right S to move backwards SPACE to attack, uses sanity. Run low on sanity, and you lose your grip on reality. Don’t let the madness catch you. (your max sanity will be drained by 25% when a key piece is collected)

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection by Levi

Reduce the population using the aerosol spray from your plane. Tank refill pickups appear periodically. Avoid the projectiles shot by the radar towers.

Also, Drew has been working on Shump It Up (working title)
