Turtle Love II: Still Luvin'
Turtluv 2 is a non-game where you follow around a Turtle who just hit sexual maturity. Naturally, all he wants to do is sex up other turtles, so you'll be seeing a lot of that.
This new version boasts two new areas, improved music, vastly improved animation, and way more stuff for the Turtle to do. Turtluv 2 also includes a small degree of interactivity in the form of messing with the octave, speed, and note duration of the in-game music (or you can just mute it all-together).

Six Trapped Pets
The fat orange house cat had lived in the basement cold room of the rural estate for as long as it could remember; eating the food their owner would attempt to store. There were many other house pets who resided in the house, but the cat never saw them.
One day the food stopped, and the cat had to venture out of the basement. The owner had disappeared, the other pets were famished, and there was no observable way out. Being the only nourished pet in the house, the fat orange house cat sets out to find an exit.
Play as the fat orange house cat and explore the rural estate's brightly colored rooms while getting-to-know your fellow house mates. Each object you find, each animal you meet, and each puzzle you solve will lead you one step closer to escape.
Cat Game's features include...
Old School adventure game play without the extreme difficulty of the classic titles
Text-based graphics
15 brightly-colored and uniquely furnished rooms
9 characters with unique personalities
Relaxing and immersive ambiance
Several mini-games.
The game is pretty much done. Hopefully it will be released Spring of 2018

"Dahlia and the Big Coaster" is a very short and sweet Text Adventure about a little girl at the fair who'll do whatever it takes to ride the Big Roller Coaster.
Deal with your overbearing mother; talk to Psychics, Clowns, and a Fat Man; and most importantly, ride the Big Coaster!
"Dahlia and the Big Coaster" is Sage's first solo game. She previously worked on Koala Quest & on translating some of the other titles.

Route 24
Route 24 is an art game about driving through rural Illinois and Indiana via U.S. Route 24. It's a little hyperbolic, but not as much as you might think. Just like the real-life experience, the game is less about skill and more about endurance.
The MansterSoft duo had recently just traveled from Eastern PA to Southern MN, and in an effort to dodge Chicago and Indianapolis traffic we used Route 24. This game tries to capture the essence of that highway, so it's not very fun.

Run-N-Jump-N-Jump-N-Run
Think you have what it takes to take home the big horsey trophy? It won't be easy. You'll have to traverse 2,420 meters of deadly side-scrolling obstacles. Perfect timing and fine precision will be key.
If that sounds too hard, you could always create your own course using the world's easiest level editor.
Or, you could challenge a friend to race mode, where the obstacles are just as treacherous, but completely harmless.
If you have an unconditional fear of horses, then you can travel to South America, shrink in size, and ride the capybaras.
Other features include...
Sweet sweet one-button action
Old School 70's and 80's Microcomputer-style graphics and goodness
1-bit scrolling background
Beautiful monophonic sound effects and medleys
High Scores and stuff
Genre: Runner | Rating: B+
