![Vaccination [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vusNUvvzbJ4/mqdefault.jpg "Vaccination [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]
At the Alt.Ctrl Showcase at GDC 2018, Katy Marshall talks to Maker Project Lab about the asynchronous co-op game, Vaccination.
Installation Required (her game design studio with Alex Johansson) describes the game: Two players must work together to keep the patient alive for as long as possible against the onslaught of bacteria racing towards the patient’s heart. One player is in charge of scanning the body, on the lookout for the bacteria and relaying what vaccine and where the other player, equipped with the injector, should administer.
You can learn more about the game at: https://installreq.itch.io/vaccination

![Clunker Junker [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xyXcZldETp0/mqdefault.jpg "Clunker Junker [alt.ctrl.gdc 2018]
At the Alt.Ctrl Showcase at GDC 2018, Henry Lam of HNRY Studios talks to Maker Project Lab about their game Clunker Junker.
HNRY Studios describes it as: ...an experimental arcade game in which two players attempt to keep their space transport intact as they outrun space pirates through an asteroid field. As the ship takes damage in-game, physical panels will fall off of the ships 4 main modules, disabling them until they are repaired using the custom-made repair tool. The tool boasts two main components. First, the specially made tip which must be used to connect to the 4 ship modules. Second, the uniquely fabricated crank which provides actual power and rotates the tip, allowing players to perform actions such as steering, changing turret direction, supercharging their engine, or repairing their hull.
