(IBM 2nd Year Group Project Prize - Runner Up)

"Mind The Gap!" is a multiplayer arcade game based on travelling through a future post-apocalyptic web of human settlements built on top of the old London Underground system. The core aim is to survive for as long as possible, by picking up essential resources between stations and trading with other players in order to rejuvenate and thus prolong your life. Inter-station travel is randomly generated in the style of an endless runner game, perpetually throwing obstacles at the player until their demise. The game is fast-paced, providing short game times for continuous enjoyment.

(2nd Year Group Project - Honorable Mention)
 

Survive and conquer is a real time multiplayer RPG game which focuses on fast thinking strategy and speed. Players join an arena where each player must try to survive to the end. You need to keep an eye on your hunger and thirst otherwise you'll slowly die. The last surviving player wins. You can attack other players but that's not the only way to win: you can sneakily poison all the water and set traps everywhere to outsmart your opponents - or start a massive forest fire and watch your opponents run for their lives!
