Taria & Como
Developed by Popseed Studio Inc. and Viola Davis & Julius Tennon’s JuVee Productions. In the game, a physics-based puzzle platformer focused on swinging instead of jumping. Players guide Taria, a young girl with a prosthetic leg, as she embarks on a mission to rescue her little sister, Como. And all of that while Taria uses her ingenuity and determination to escape a hospital and find her sister, despite being underestimated.
Black Hole Havoc
Developed by Cosmic Bros (Jolly Chimp Champ), the game focuses on black holes that are causing chaos across the galaxy. In Black Hole Havoc, players must match black hole sizes, aim their cannon, and avoid obstacles to eliminate these cosmic threats and save humanity.
