These two games were recommended to me by thenameipicked. They are both great games by students from Digipen. In Sea of Chaos you control a ship and blow up other ships. NanoTerra is a real time strategy with elements from Pikmin and Starcraft.
Sea of Chaos
Sea of Chaos is a nice short and fun game where you control a ship and blow up all your enemies with cannons and machine guns. You also have a harpoon gun to drag around other ships but I never used it. After completing levels you earn upgrades to make your ship even more powerful. In most levels there are allies to help you. The controls are also very easy to use. It's quite fun if you want to play a game where you just blow stuff up, recommended.
In an age where violence rules the seas, there is a vast ocean that divides the land. Powerful countries have formed due to their advancements in ship technology, but despite that, many smaller countries lead a more simple life in the open seas. It is common to find traveling merchants and mercenaries throughout the land. In "Sea of Chaos", control your ship to fight for survival.

NanoTerra
NanoTerra is a real time strategy game that combines elements from Pikmin with elements from Starcraft. You control Queens who have the ability to attack opponents and order nanites to gather resources. There are three types of queens, red beats blue, blue beats green, green beats red. You also have a base that is used drop off resources and produce new queens. By gathering 3 resources of one color you create a new queen of that color. White resources give you 25 nanites instead. To win the game you must destroy all enemy bases while protecting yours. But bases are only vulnerable when producing a new queen. This game is great but there are only 2 levels and no story mode.
NanoTerra is an RTS that combines the fast-paced, chaotic combat of Starcraft with the massive groups, and simple resource system of Pikmin. The game minimizes base management and unit organization, allowing for intense action rarely seen in modern strategy games. For RTS fans waiting for the next Starcraft, this game fills the void and introduces brand new strategy experiences. Plus, with 8-player multiplayer, a physics-enhanced battle system, and varied combat tactics, NanoTerra could be the biggest hit of next year!.
