Themes:Action
Story:The game is about keeping your mind at one place.
Patterns in sensate experience reinforce an illusion of continuity. The dream is a construction of the mind that perpetuates the illusion.
The cartesian prison is a hall of mirrors, a recursive labyrinth. Each a reflection of me—only patterns and processes.
The present moment is the only thing that is real—focus. Chaotic attractors are seizing your attention. Don’t push or pull at it.
You have to reduce model complexity, you must cultivate flow. The game is about keeping your mind at one place!
Concentrate… and remember… Attention is all you need.Show more

Terror-Daktil 4DYou're in your plane flying over the jungles of South America. Suddenly the engines fail and the captain cannot land safely because there's a volcano ahead, so you crash You wake up the next day some distance from the crash and, in the distance, you see the Terror-Daktils gathering! Luckily, in the nearby valley there are three cannons. You drag one onto the plateau and shoot the Terror-Daktils as they attack
Shoot waves of attacking beasts and keep shooting them. You must survive for six days and six nights, if you can do this a rescue plane will reach you. Only one cannon ball can be in flight at a time and they do fly like cannon balls. There's no cross hairs, and no straight line of flight, the cannon balls travel in an arc towards the flock that moves back and forth in the distance. Occasionally one will swoop towards you. If it can be shot it scores highly, however if it strikes the cannon then that's a life lost. Points are scored for each type of Daktil killed and night time kills score double.Action

Roc 'N RopeYour player is a mountain climber who must avoid cavemen, dinosaurs and pterodactyls as he climbs up the cliff-sides. Your goal in each level is to climb up and reach a mystical bird with great plumage, while staying one step above the bonus timer which determines how long you may stay on each level.
The mountain climber has only one ability; to shoot rope at 45 degree angles which he may then climb up to other platforms. His other action is a stun beam which will allow him to walk past enemies who get too close; but will only work horizontally from him. As for power-ups, on each level is (usually 2) a flashing diamond power-up which will make him invincible and allow him to defeat monsters. Also as a power-up are glowing treasures of some kind which are worth extra points.Action
