Small Games
The games on this page were all created for game jams, contests or classes. Due to the time constraints under which they were created, they are not quite as polished as my other games. That doesn’t mean they aren’t fun, though. The downloadable games on this page are for Windows only.
Band Maker Party Dungeon
Form the ultimate band by combining the talents of outrageous musicians, and listen to them as they play together! Use the randomly-generated band names as inspiration. Make the people dance!
This game was created in two days for a game jam with Mat Solomon, Joe Marchuk, Brian Dorfman, Dan Williams, Tom Caron and Corey Fraser.
Sidescrolly Funtime
Sidescrolly Funtime may seem like a standard platformer at first, but there’s a bit more to it than that. You’ll have to play it for yourself to see!
This game was created in two days for a game jam with Henry Lutts, David Yousefi, Ryan Horn and Raymond Wong.
Viking Bazooka Bloodbath
For hundreds of years, England has repulsed its viking invaders. Despite their crazy beards and wicked axes, vikings have never been able to conquer this small island. So how could a bunch of tea-sipping fops stop the manliest army the world has ever seen?
Because vikings didn’t have bazookas, that’s how.
Until now!
Features music by David Sulon.
Grand Theft Costume
You’ve escaped from prison on Halloween, and the cops are after you. Collect as much candy as you can before they catch you. Steal the costumes of trick-or-treaters to throw them off your trail.

Dungenerations
Dungenerations is a procedurally-generated roguelike shooter about the connection between parents and children.
Each time you start a new game, you play as the child of the previous player character. You can leave items with your children so that they will be available in the next playthrough, but any items on your person are lost forever when you die. Leaving behind a legacy is necessary to defeat the DungeonLord, since each character has a limited lifespan.

As Dracula, you need to run and jump past obstacles in order to reach your coffin before the sun rises. In darkness, you’re fast and invincible, but in light, you’re slow and vulnerable to attacks.
Use the arrow keys to run and jump. After draining the blood of 5 enemies, press Space to transform into a bat.
This game was created in two days with Takorn Sueksagan, Freddy Garcia, Jonathan Bowman and Changbai Li.
Bullet Infinity
This bullet hell shoot-em-up is different every time you play. The enemy bullet patterns are procedurally generated, so you never know what to expect.
Use the arrow keys to move your ship, and the Z key to attack.
This game was created as a class project. I am extremely pleased with how it turned out, and I may expand on the concept in the future.
Wolfman Killer versus Dracula Hunter
This game is for two players only, and it requires two controllers.
One player is the Wolfman Killer and the other is the Dracula Hunter. The players must team up to fight massive numbers of wolfmans and draculas, while also fighting each other. To win, you need to outlast the monsters and the other player. Each player gets a damage bonus against certain monsters, so you need to avoid killing each other too early.

Twilit Universe
Explore the twilit seas as a spirit of light.
The game plays somewhat like a shoot-em-up. However, you have no physical form, and can only travel by moving your spirit from one body to another. Rather than shooting enemies, you must enter their bodies to restore them to their normal forms.
You will move with whatever body you currently inhabit. Click on another body to instantly move to its location. If the target was an enemy, this will restore it to normal. If you move off-screen or collide with bullets, spikes, or tentacles, you will take damage. On the other hand, if you pass over green items, you will be healed.
Navigating Nirvana
To achieve Nirvana, you must pray at the shrine at the top of the temple. However, reaching this shrine will not be easy. It is a task that will take many lifetimes.
By praying at small shrines, you gain karma. Your karma determines what form you take when you are reincarnated. Each form has different abilities that will allow you to reach different parts of the temple.
Use the arrow keys to move, and the Z key to jump.
This game was created in two days with a team for the 2012 Global Game Jam.
Conveyor
This game requires four players.
There are a series of conveyor belts in a factory, carrying a variety of strange items. You need to catch the good items in a bucket, and avoid collecting the bad items.
However, moving the bucket requires the cooperation of all four players. The bucket’s position is determined by how many players are holding their buttons down. Trying to coordinate everyone is a chaotic, hilarious experience.

The objective of this abstract arcade game is to prevent the glowing balls from falling outside the stage. To do this, you must draw solid walls with the left mouse button. You also need to prevent the balls from taking much damage from enemies. You can defeat enemies by drawing plasma walls with the right mouse button. The walls don’t last long, so quick reflexes are necessary to earn a high score.
