Game 1
Star Bugs: a two-player AR game for your table.
Star Bugs are stealing the Pup Pups from Donut World. Play solo or bring a friend: two phones, one table. Fling sprinkle donuts from a licorice slingshot, bop each Star Bug with its own color, save the pups together and put your name on the top 10. It runs in your phone's browser, nothing to install.
Built on the two-player AR engine from Xtra Round Games, Jeff Steele's studio.

Tank Off: turn your table into a battlefield.
Topple their crown by blasting the blocks, while protecting your own. A multiplayer AR game by Jeff Steele of Xtra Round Games: open it on a phone in Safari or Chrome and play with friends at the same table. Nothing to install.
Game 3, first draft
Archer the Archer: an AR adaptation of the club's game.
An AR adaptation of the game my students and I made in the Da Vinci Video Game Design Club, rebuilt in 3D for your table. Archer crash-lands his carrot truck, meets the townspeople and heads into lava dungeons full of angry plungers. Swing the sword, smash with the mallet, knock the plungers into the lava and find the keys. Same level, same rules, same characters as the original. A first draft: the whole level is playable while the last pieces get built.

Rapid Refill: get the coffee to Joe's.
Thermos rides his scooter through six clay worlds to deliver a fresh refill: Coffee World, Donut World, Warp World, Crumpet World, Tea World and the grand opening of Joe's Coffee House. Hop the hay bales, dodge Star Bugs, Pup Pups, flying toast and the Royal Tea crowd, and grab the shield to smash through. It is my Coffee Time side-scroller rebuilt as a stop-motion clay world, made for a real table: scan the code with your phone and each world lands right in front of you.

Donut Dash: you are the donut, and everyone is hungry.
The first game I ever made, rebuilt in 3D for your table. Help Donette collect donuts through five levels of sprinkle-ball mazes while hungry pup-pups close in. Jump over them, find the blue feather to hover, ride the clouds to catch donuts with wings, and keep clear of the Star Bugs. Then grab the golden wings, stun everyone and bring down a flood of donuts. Free, right in your phone's browser.
