Game Release – Monk’s Mind Games

Glow — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 22:29:33 +0000

We made this game quite a bit ago (4-5 years ago) but thought it was worthy of reposting. The game was created for the USA Network’s hit show Monk and gives you a peek into the wild world of Monk’s OCD. It consists of a series of fast twitch brain games – it’s simple, there is a basic statement and a clock, from there it is up to the player to figure out what to do. Twist a salt shaker cap, clean a wine glass, straighten forks, clean a door mat – you get the point. If you fail to complete the tasks Monk will become very upset. Authentic Monk music furthers the brand experience. Try and keep Monk happy, play now.

Go green by playing the eco-friendly version of this classic game. It is a 2D style game (not the 3D “tower” style) where your goal is to match identical tiles and clear them from the board. Once all of the tiles have been removed, you’ll advance to the next level. So put your thinking cap on and continue the mission of saving the environment, one step at a time!

Game Release – Bugs Gone Wild & AME

Glow — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:00:59 +0000

Bugs Gone Wild & Attack on Mother Earth are two throwback arcade style games that were created for USA Network and SYFY respectively. The same game engine was used for both games with a unique visual scheme implemented to each. The games have 20 levels that increase in difficulty through the addition of new enemy chains, bosses and amplified pace.

Have what it takes to stop the Bugs Gone Wild or Alien Invaders? If you like old school games give them a play. Bugs Gone Wild. Attack on Mother Earth.

Game Release – Steady State

Steady State is a combination puzzle and skill game. It requires players to create “buildings” out of various shaped game pieces in order to reach a designated height. Each level the player has to build the structure higher and higher. Properly organizing and balancing the building blocks is the key to success. Bonus points are awarded for using more pieces to create the building. Do you have what takes to work for Steady State Construction Company? Play here.

Game Release – MonkShuiborhood

Glow — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:51:01 +0000

Monk-shuiborhood is yet another game made for the USA Network hit series Monk. Taking a cue from past successes (Monk-Shui), we developed a game that further reflected the challenge of living with OCD. Keeping a neighborhood up to Monk’s standards is tough! Acting as Monk, players are required to straighten-up the “hood.” Additionally the game was sponsored by Sleep In. To create as seamless a brand integration as possible we included a series of mini-games that you may find in a Hotel room – Solitaire, a peg game, hangman and a few others. See if you can get the neighborhood up to Monk’s high standards, play now.

Game Release – Alpha Fusion

Alpha Fusion is neat word game that that requires players to create a chain reaction by successfully fusing adjacent letters to form words 3 letters or more long. To complete each level players must connect cells together so that the chain stretches from the top of the game board to the bottom. As the levels progress difficulty increases as “frozen” cells form on the game board. Get nuclear…play now.

Game Release – Mole Mayhem

Glow — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:06:41 +0000

Remember the hit game Plumber? It was a simple yet great game. We took a tune from that game and created Mole Mayhem. We like to think we improved on the game through more advanced coding and visual application. The game basics – create a path by rotating the jumbled earth in a way that creates a path for Manny the Mole to travel.

“Manny the mole wants to bring an apple home to his sweetheart, but an earthquake scrambled the path to his home. Help Manny to unscramble the path so he can impress his lady!” See if you can keep her happy, play now.

Game Release – Letter Matrix

Glow — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:48:57 +0000

Letter Matrix is a fast paced word game that tests your word forming skills. As letters drop from the top of the game board players have to form words as quick as they can to prevent the letters from filling the play area. The pace quickens with each level forcing the player to react faster. Score is based on word size and specific letter value.

“So you think working in a library is easy, huh? Let’s put your Dewey decimal skills to the test. As returned books pile up, so does your stress level. So compile volumes wisely, and stash them away quickly.” Play it now!

The game was created for USA Network’s Character Arcade and had such great success it was ported over to the iPhone. Get it free here.

Game Release – MonkShui

Glow — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 23:25:24 +0000

MonkShui was created as an extension to our USA Network hit game Monk’s Mind Games. Taking a more traditional approach of representing Monk’s OCD we created a game that requires players to live by the rules set forth in Monk’s book of Shui, Monk-Shui. Players are tasked with “shui-ing” various scenes that have been disorganized by Monk’s nemesis Harold. We developed a nice sense of brand immersion by shooting the real set of Monk. Get “Shui-ing” now.
