QuoteMost unusual golf > Metagolf (Game by 'Michaël Lievens')
PC MAC LINUX
Metagolf is a platform action game for 1 to 4 players. It’s like Mini-Golf but crazier since everyone is playing at the same time with the same golf ball. Unlock interactive championship courses with creatures, puzzles, and 7 different kind of balls or team-battle on the same computer through physics based obstacles and mazes. When a player touches the golf ball, it takes the color of his team. Players can walk with the ball since it only counts the number of shooting. You win the game if a golf ball of your color reaches the hole/target.
Developer’s game description:
The idea behind Metagolf is to mix the casual 2D platform genre with a physical based golf game. The most challenging part was to avoid the widely admitted boring gameplay of golf and only keep the basic rules of Mini-golf to make something fun and unique.

There is also a clear and assumed inspiration in old-school action games with split-screen multiplayer options and freedom of choice in the parameters. For example, it is very possible to add more or less rules like prohibiting the player to touch the ball or allowing unlimited number of shoot in a game. This way, you can customize each play and set your own difficulty level.
Another interesting feature of Metagolf is that single player level can all be played in multiplayer and vice versa! This is because there is several ways to reach a goal. Being able to create, customize and share new maps thanks to a built-in level editor was also something very important to include in this game.

If you enjoyed Sonic Pinball, Mario and Angry Birds then you will enjoy Metagolf :)

Goals:
The game is already very playable and quite complete. Funds will be used to improve a few graphics like adding better looking players. Depending on the interest in Metagolf, we may add more features and additional levels.
Space game > Ensign -1 (Game by 'Only Human Studios')
PC MAC LINUX
Ensign-1 is a space combat game that aims to give the player limitless freedom. You aren't limited to merely piloting a single fighter throughout the course of battle. You can dock and board frigates, capital ships, and even asteroid bases. Players are free to man turrets while a friend pilots their ship, or even simply battle it out on foot. Ensign-1 will feature both multiplayer modes and a single player (and co-op) campaign complete with story based missions and voice actors!

Goals:
Our project is still as ambitious as ever, so any amount donated helps us ensure we can make this the best space combat game we can imagine. We all want to kindly thank you for your consideration and your support!
Family game > Christmas Magic (Game by 'Anmoll Thakur and Satbir Singh')
PC MAC LINUX IOS ANDROID PS VITA(possible)

Christmas Magic is a unique combination of a story book and a game for the whole family or for short breaks from work. Relax and delve deep into the charming innocence of L'il Pono's magical world.

As you solve beautiful puzzles and 'Magic' flows from your fingertips, you lose yourself in the soothing magic of floating lights and twinkling chimes of the magical fireflies. 'Christmas Magic' tells a warm Christmas tale of an innocent little elf's longing for his family, of magic that interweaves through life, and the eternal natural relation between all things living called "Love". Its simple but engaging gameplay, set in a magical natural environment, immerses the player with its sights and sounds in a test of visual problem solving and improves his/her cognitive and pattern recognition skills.
Check out our game on your iPad here (it's free!): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/christmas-magic/id483085364?ls=1&mt=8
Goals:
Funds will be used to make ports of the game on ChromeStore, Mac AppStore, Android Tablet, and buy the necessary licenses. We’ll implement art for each platform and work on marketing the game before Christmas 2012.
Triangle game > TRI (Game by 'Rat King Entertainment')
PC MAC LINUX(possible)
TRI is a freeform 3D platformer with environmental puzzles - it is inspired by games like "Portal", "Thief" and "Zelda". You create triangles to build platforms, walk on walls and ceilings, reflect light rays, laser beams and more.

Cast triangles to overcome abysses and reach unknown places; activate crystals with reflected light rays and destroy obstacles with dangerous lasers; explore the dungeons of TRI, collect treasures and solve puzzles. All this in first-person perspective, with an unusual graphics style and a nice soundtrack!
Goals:
Funds will be used for development and administrative expenses, music composition, sound effects, (perhaps) additional graphics and level design, and localization into more languages, like French and Chinese. A port to Linux would also be possible.
