In the current information era, the rapid development of technology follows the development of science and technology. Likewise, multimedia applications are developing very rapidly, especially in the smartphone sector, the use of smartphones is now not only used as a communication medium. Smartphones are then used as a means of entertainment, one of which is for playing games. Games have become one of the complementary applications on smartphones, one of which is Android-based games. The advantage of playing games on smartphones is that players can play games wherever and whenever they want. This Cat Runner game is a game about a cat that has 3 lives, where this game is played by the cat jumping to catch butterflies and avoiding rockets so that its life doesn't decrease. If this cat is hit by rockets 3 times it will die. This game is an entertainment themed game that can be played by children under five years old. This game was built using the Scratch 3 application. We use smartphones and websites as a platform to run this game.

The use of games in learning media is an effective strategy in increasing children's knowledge. This provides a more immersive and enjoyable learning experience for children. This research aims to develop a simple game to introduce countries in the Southeast Asia region, especially those that are members of ASEAN, to children and the wider community through interesting visualizations. This game can be accessed easily on computer devices with low specifications so that it reaches a wider range of users. It is hoped that the creation of this simple game will provide motivation and inspiration for children and all groups to continue learning to broaden their horizons.

Games are one of the entertainment media that people choose to relieve boredom or just to fill their free time. Apart from being an entertainment medium, games can also be a learning medium to improve a person's brain development. Action games provide a good opportunity to train children's agility in thinking. Action games are games with the main feature of rapid shooting facilities with lots of action where players must have fast reaction skills to avoid enemy fire or avoid obstacles. Most of the action games "Space Invaders" are still or even the graphics and specifications are still low and there are almost no good graphics. This is because there are no applications for making games yet, but as time goes by, there are now applications that can make games easily, but these applications are still rarely used.

The more advanced technological developments in this modern era are, the more new games emerge with graphic quality that is closer to real life. The newest games which make the game graphics more real are indeed increasingly interesting and make the players switch to these more modern games and start to forget. 2-dimensional games that are flat or flat are only 2 dimensions.

Adventure games can also be said to be games that give players the opportunity to analyze the game arena visually. This game also does not require players to have special abilities in completing a mission, but simply by defeating enemies, avoiding obstacles, and following the storyline in a game. game.

A 2D platformer game, console dash is a game that tells the story of Dax, a curious game character, jumping out of his console to go on an adventure. He goes through difficult levels, collects objects and meets new friends. They form a team and fight a villain named Glitch. The aim of this research is to design a 2D Console Dash platformer game with an adventure genre that is interesting and also quite difficult to complete. This application was created using the Godot game engine with the GDScript programming language. The method used in this final assignment uses the MDLC model software development method, and uses the SWOT method for system weakness analysis. The final result of this project is a 2D platformer game that plays smoothly and provides an enjoyable gaming experience. Console Dash offers attractive graphics, music and sound effects that liven up the atmosphere of the game, as well as challenging levels to explore. Moreover, this game has an intuitive interface and responsive controls.

Increasing innovation and creativity in a product is an obligation. One of them is tourism media innovation. The latest innovation that is expected to attract people's attention is the application of Augmented Reality (AR) Technology on tourist attraction brochures through the screen. AR technology or can also be referred to as Augmented Reality is the integration of digital elements that are added to the real world and follow the existing environment. This application can be applied to android-based mobile devices. Thus, the cellphone screen will present a description of the tourist attraction and even display sound and video. Learning media through AR-based tourist object brochures as a smart, easy, fast solution to find out tourist objects in Bireuen Regency in an interesting way. Through an AR brochure, everyone can find out the tourist attractions in Bireuen Regency in real time.

The development of games is increasingly rapid, followed by tools for making games. There are many game genres, Platform Games or Platformers is one of them. Platform games are a genre of video games whose main objective is to control a character who jumps or climbs between platforms to achieve a specific goal. Platformers are characterized by level designs that feature terrain that varies in challenge and demands the player character's abilities (such as jumping and climbing) to navigate the player's environment and achieve the objectives in each level. For example, there are many famous platformer games such as Super Mario, Sonic, Metal Slug and so on. This game is inspired by the game Fly Bird. This development uses HTML 5 Canvas and uses the Javascript programming language.

Virus Attack 3D is a 3D platformer game that visualizes humans running to avoid Coronavirus attacks encountered on a path with increasing speed at each level. The player's character dies upon collision, but the game continues with increasing score and level if the player successfully avoids the viruses. This research aims to design Virus Attack 3D, incorporating health-themed education. The application is built using the C# programming language in the Unity application for a more strategic experience. Virus Attack 3D is a platformer game that serves as the research output. The entertaining Virus Attack application offers a game enjoyable for all ages, training players' spontaneous response and dexterity in overcoming challenges while providing entertainment on desktops in single-player mode.
