Cephods
Cephods – Pitch by Trish King: „Cephalopods solving increasingly difficult mazes/problems/games“
This project places somewhere inbetween a game, an idea, art and nonsense. About half of the dialogues were written by friends for me to adapt.
I’ve made a video with all the animations so you don’t have to search for each one in the randomised dialogue options within the game. You can watch it here on YouTube.
Flower Panda
Flower Panda – Pitch by Ceri Moran: „A red panda who collects different falling flowers into a boot, but if the panda touches a falling green pickle, the boot explodes and you have to start collecting again. The golden bamboo shoot doubles your score!“
Minigame about pigeons and respect
JLR’s Pigeon Project: A game inspired by John-Luke Roberts‘ short pigeon documentary on the Short Cuts Podcast.

This way to infos about Tim Key’s work:
And this way to Emily Juniper:

Minigame about holding hands and flamingoes

A stranger took your hand mistaking you for his girlfriend. You‘ve got to preserve the connection and only got one free hand to catch all the flamingoes. Points for flamingoes caught with your free hand. Game Over if a flamingo hits the pair of holding hands or after 60 seconds.
