These games were created by students from the University of Michigan. I'm not going to post too many games from here because some are multiplayer only or require Xbox controllers.

Syzygy
This is a spaceship game with some puzzle elements. You can earn money to buy weapon upgrades and special powers such as timeslow, shockwave, shield, gravity well, and teleport. These special powers can be used to more easily solve certain levels but their not usually required. It's also interesting that they use "mana" (is this game also an rpg?, lol). This game is good but for some reason the sound didn't work on my computer or maybe it doesn't have sound.

PaintWars
I'm posting this as a mini bonus game. This is a real time strategy game where you try to cover the screen with your colour of paint. To do this you have little paint blob creatures that constantly spawn at your spawn point. You can't directly control them but you can move them around with the mouse. The spawn point can also be moved. You can also launch a paint bomb by right clicking to cover a large area with paint but it takes a long time to recharge.
