Projects

  • The Two Eyes in Team

    A two player cooperative game in which each player controls a single eyeball in a person's head. Guide Steven through everyday tasks by finding the correct items in each chapter of his life!

    Line up Steven's eyes to get a clear view of the room, or separate and poke around to gather bonuses! But remember, try to keep his eyes in line when talking with people, or Steven might weird them out!
