Short co-op games that feel magical, social and safe.
Mini-games are the first playable layer of Play for Connection. They should be easy to start, beautiful to look at and impossible to win alone.
Game principles
Every game must be short, cooperative, emotionally positive and safe inside closed communities. The goal is not addiction. The goal is small moments of trust, kindness and teamwork.

Not too simple, not too heavy
The first public demos can stay light, but the full product should feel like a real game world: colorful, animated, multiplayer and emotionally safe.
