Who are Clan N
Clan N is an ancient samurai group in the region of “Far East”, sworn to protect the realm from all who seek its destruction. The four group members consist of the shinobigatana-wielding ninja Akira, the staff-striking Reina, the dual sword-swinging Daiki, and the sickle-slashing monk Tarou.
After years of training and dedication to their respective craft, each character has uncovered their own unique magical abilities. Akira shoots pulse-filled lightning bolts, Reina controls the ground with vicious earthquake shocks, Daiki swirls up brutal tornado waves, and Tarou can call for the help of Dragons.
Story
Akuji is a former samurai of the Clan N that discovered the balance of the world lies in three areas: Peace, Knowledge, and Time. Akuji found that if you knock the world of one of these, you can harness the powers of “spiritual imbalance” and grow stronger from it. As a result of pursuing spiritual imbalance, he was shunned from the samurai temple and kicked out of Clan N.
What Akuji didn’t know was that attaining spiritual imbalance would not only give you dark powers, it consumed your light and the purity of your life. Following his banishment from the temple and Clan N, Akuji was able to destroy peace by slaughtering villages and retain the power of those he killed, thus absorbing conflict and electric sorcery abilities, becoming the most powerful sorcerer warrior in the Far East. While he continued to grow, Akuji formed Seishin Gun, the spirit group, to join his conquest and remove anyone standing in their path.
Once his actions were discovered by Clan N, they set on a journey to stop the villainous pillaging by Akuji and Seishin Gun.
About the Characters
Reina and Daiki grew as siblings in a southern samurai clan. Reina was not taught the teaching of the clan like her brother Daiki but still observed and learned the ways mastering the staff. She eventually took onto Shamanism as well becoming one of the first shinobi shamans in the land as a young woman.
Akira was a childhood friend adopted into the clan as a lost child wandering in the outer lands chased by a pack of wolves, barely making it to the village. Daiki’s father took the child in and raised them, although Akira typically covers himself from head to after severe scarring.
Tarou was from the same monastery as Akuji (prior to his joining of Clan N) and learned under the same teachers. Akuji returned to the Monk’s temple many years later and stole an ancient scroll that explained how to destroy the pillars of balance and extract their spiritual imbalance. In pursuit of Akuji, Tarou traced his steps to Clan N. After explaining the situation to the existing three members, they all decided to team up and take down Akuji.

Wall Street Tycoon on Mac

Mac Version Not Available

You just created an investment company. Now it’s time to hire some employees! With very limited funds, you must hire the best people to work at your company. Bankruptcy is always a threat and in order to stay profitable you must manage money and create an office that will maximum the performance of your employees.
EmployeesEmployee performance varies depending on your actions as CEO. When hiring employees, background checks provide information on employee traits such as aggression, work ethic, productivity, and happiness. Motivate your employees with events and games, but too much fun will lower productivity in the office.
OfficeThe office you build has direct relation to your bottom line. The environment shapes how much work your employees will get done, and that determines how much profit the entire company earns. Employees with few amenities and poor work conditions will have low morale and high turnover rates. However, with too many amenities, employees are more likely to be happy and unproductive.
DepartmentsSome departments generate money for the company (Investors, Lawyers). Others support the revenue making departments and increase their efficiency (Human Resources, IT Support). Balancing these departments as the company grows can be the difference between success and bankruptcy.

Not our conquest of space. Not our level of civilization. Not art or philosophy. Not even our scientific progress as such… when the first contact fleet of the Interstellar Committee of Advancement & Integration (ICAI) darkened the skies above the UN headquarters in New York 2137, the motivation for their intervention was clear cut: we were deemed a beast with tools and habits too dangerous to be left alone.
And to a subset of civilizations in the galaxy that meant: READY FOR THE GAME.
Warfare out there had become a regulated affair long ago. A ritual. A kind of sport. A source of entertainment backed by a vast and complex industry. Disputes over resources and territory, even the appropriation of some technology were no longer the subject of messy and uncontrollably destructive conflict. Such commodities would often become the formal prizes of tournaments, fought on a variety of natural and artificial stages all over the galaxy by teams representing companies, nations, a planet, an entire species… or just themselves.

Viola on Mac

Mac Version Not Available

After failing at violin practice for the hundredth time, Viola gets trapped inside her instrument’s fantastical world. She’s joined by a set of strange, colorful friends, as she journeys through the lands of magic, monsters and music… Searching for her way back home.
​
Features:
Play as the young Viola, who is trapped inside the fantasy world of a magic violin.
Create your own party from a colorful cast of 10+ characters!
Platforming and RPG battles seamlessly combined in a beautiful pixel art package.
Play musical instruments to unlock passages, secrets, and more!
A humorous and emotional story about learning to love yourself.
A labor of love made entirely by a single person!
A Love Letter to JRPGs
Viola pulls inspiration from many classic JRPGs. Lufia, the Mario & Luigi series, Final Fantasy, and even modern indie takes on the genre such as Undertale and Lisa. Turn-based battles, a ton of recruitable characters, and a personal story to sink your teeth into: Viola has all of this and more. However, Viola is not a passive RPG. Attacks require the player to time their button taps, and to unleash spells you’ll have to follow a series of rhythm game-esque inputs.
Exploration Made Fun Again
On top of being an RPG, Viola is a side-scrolling platformer! With walljumps and triple jumps, springs and cannons, you can explore each level and uncover every little secret. Find more potions, or gems to equip and customize each character’s stats! And don’t worry about random encounters: each monster is visible in the level. Don’t feel like fighting? Just jump around and find another path!
Raise the Bar
Music is key to Viola. Every character in your party has their own instrument, and they’ll eagerly play along with the songs you learn along your journey. All the songs have their own magical effect, like summoning a bird, creating a magical campfire, unlocking secret pathways… If you’ve ever played a Zelda game, you’ll feel right at home.
Learn to Love Yourself
Viola is about Viola’s journey. It’s one of strange characters, powerful monsters, fantastical locations and plenty of laughs. But Viola’s journey isn’t just about going home: it’s also about learning. That it’s okay not to be perfect. That it’s okay to grieve. That you deserve love, and that sometimes that love starts with learning to love yourself.
Like a Rainbow with Gold at Both Ends
Many people are unable to see themselves in the things they watch, read or play. Viola is filled with characters of all kinds: different colors, different loves, different ideals. If you’ve ever felt out of place, and like you couldn’t connect with the characters you’ve seen before, Viola is for you.

A Dance of Fire and Ice on Mac

Mac Version Not Available

A Dance of Fire and Ice is a simple one-button rhythm game.
Press on every beat of the music to move in a line.
Every pattern has its own rhythm to it. It can get difficult. This game is purely based on rhythm, so use your ears more than your sight.
Note that it is quite strict and unforgiving, so please play the online version here if you’re not sure if this is for you! If you’ve played the Rhythm Heaven series – this is about as strict as that.
Explore the cosmos: Soar through each genre of music in a variety of colorful fantasy landscapes. Predict every moment: With a track that shows you every rhythm ahead of time, you’ll learn to sight-read levels as they come. No tricks, and nothing is reaction-based.
Play new levels for free: Tackle new songs and new rhythms as we expand the game with free level patches over the coming months.
Calibrate your experience: Manually adjust your calibration on-the-fly, or use our auto-calibration method. The game is precisely timed, and you won’t experience any slow desync over time like you might with other music-based twitch games. (We’re musicians and off-sync games hurt us.)

One Finger Death Punch 2 on Mac

Mac Version Not Available

Simplicity to perfection.
To be played in bursts.
By design, there is no story.
Only crazy kung-fu.
You’re surrounded, outnumbered and have to use any weapon you can get your hands on to dismantle your opponents in a flurry of kung fu. That’s the essence of OFDP2, the world’s fastest brawler. It features the original OFDP’s unique two-button mechanics which we’ve spent the last five years perfecting. Speed and precision are key in this whirlwind fighting frenzy, as players maintain control over the 26 different unlockable skills, frenetic gameplay, and classic kung fu-inspired animations.
ATTACK LEFT or ATTACK RIGHT
We want to show that a fighting game can be complex without cumbersome button combinations. Once players complete the tutorial levels and learn the basics, they’ll see that this is the most intense two-button game ever made.
With 1000 different animations available, literally, anything is possible—particularly when players unlock each of the 26 available skills. Having these skills available simultaneously is a major design challenge that encompasses the core of what OFDP2 is trying to achieve. Seeing the game with all 26 skills is a spectacle unique to OFDP2.
We built this game as a palette cleanser between other games in your library. It was designed to deliver a quick hit of adrenalin as fast as possible.
You can’t get a feel for the gameplay from watching videos. The flow of combat is something we spent years tweaking. It’s what makes OFDP2 unique. Only by playing it will this become clear. That’s why it’s important to us that you TRY THE DEMO out before you consider purchasing this game.
*You can turn the announcer on or off in the options.
*64 bit operating systems only.
*Windows 7 might have issues playing the few video files in the game.
