Classroom Aquatic is a ridiculous game where you take on the roll of a foreign exchange student in a school of dolphins.

Unfortunately for you, your class is doing a test, which you’re you’ve got no chance of passing unaided as you don’t know any of the answers. This means if you you’re going to pass the test you’re going to have to use stealth and sneaky distractions to sneak a peak at the other students answers. You’ll have to be careful though, as you really don’t want to get caught. Getting told off in first person, by your dolphin teacher is a strange and rather terrifying experience!

Classroom aquatic is a great game that takes a simple, unique idea and runs (or swims if you prefer) with it. It’s a wonderfully fresh take on the stealth genre. You’ll never look at dolphins in the same way after you’ve been told off by one.

Chroma is an interesting new music based FPS from Harmonix, creators of Rock Band, Amplitude, Dance Central and the upcoming Fantasia: Music Evolved.

Harmonix claim that you can play the game as a straight-up shooter, but If you understand the shape of the song, you can play the game better. Knowing the song you’re playing along to lets you understand what’s going to happen as the map evolves, giving you an edge over the competition.

Weapons are also affected by the rythm of the songs, with grenades exploding on the downbeat, rockets bending to rythmic button presses, sniper rifle power being affected by timing and a gun that locks on to enemies automatically for as long as you continue to match the beats of the song.

The unique blend of rhythm-action and FPS in Chroma is genuinely intriguing, and with their proven track record with music games, if anyone can pull off a rhythm based FPS, it’s Harmonix.

The Universim is a great looking new planet management game, where you’ll nurture your civilisation from stone-age, to modern age and beyond. As your civilisation progresses they’ll face challenges from animal attacks to virus outbreaks, to earthquakes and meteors. Surviving these challenges is reliant on research and new technologies, from fire to space ships.

While you will not interact directly with the population that inhabits your planet, you will be able to guide them through their development and influence their decisions for better or worse. Choices in the game extend from ending wars between cities on your planet or watching as one city destroys the other, to influencing the research path of your civilization.

The games visual style is superb, looking like Sim City set on Super Mario Galaxys worlds. With the landscape of your planet continually changing as you evolve your civilisation. You’ll even be able to explore and colonise other planets once you’ve mastered space travel.

To the Death is a very stylish side scrolling hack n slash shooter in development for PS4, PS Vita, PC, Mac & Linux, made by former Call Of Duty and God Of War Devs.

The finished game will allow you to switch between 2 great warriors who killed each other, but have a vendetta so deep it continues after death. You’ll be able to upgrade these Warriors with new powers and weapons, making them into some seriously undead badasses. So far the game plays wonderfully, feeling very much like a flying side-scrolling Devil May Cry (which is no bad thing), with the deliberately underpowered bullets being best used to buy time and keep enemies at bay, until you can swoop in and destroy them with your mighty sword.

The Prototype/Demo only features single player (full game will feature co-op), and is limited to a one-hit death scenario that works as an endless runner style game. It’s still fast paced arcade fun, and very remarkably satisfying. Unfortunately it looks as if the Kickstarter is destined to fail, as they still need over $350000 with only 4 days to go. Hopefully the finished game will see the light of day somehow though as it is a great concept, and comes from a team with an impressive pedigree.
