This first person 3D ski game is an office favorite. Collect time, speed and jump bonuses and avoid the sun flares, blizzard and slow motion items to maximize your track times. Take to the slopes of Mt. Saint Junior and challenge its five tracks. There is also a free-ski mode for players that just want to practice or bomb a hill. So, grab your passport and prepare to face the ferocious peaks of Mt. Saint Junior. But be warned, one wrong turn and you’ll be out cold. See how fast you can “Ski Magnifique!”

Game Release – Geo Trail

Geo Trail is a spatial cognition game where the objective is to navigate a block across a gridded game board in a way that it will fall through a specified hole in the game board. The solution gets progressively more difficult over 100 levels. The game borrows from the online hit Bloxorz. Geo Trail differentiates from Bloxorz in a few ways. First the game boards are dynamically created. Secondly our game implements a feature where the game board becomes unstable when the player repeatedly hits portions of the game grid making you chose your moves wisely.

“Pete the Penguin can’t navigate his way across the frozen tundra without your help. Guide him across the ice blocks so he can enjoy a tasty meal.” Give it a shot.

Game Release – Orientation Express

We created this 3D game for USA Network’s Character Arcade. The game challenges players cerebrally as they try to rotate and spin random 3D objects in order to match them spatially against a 2d cutout of the object. The game gets progressively more difficult as levels advance by increasing the amount of rotations required to make a match and decreasing the time available to solve it.

“This is the final call for all players traveling on the Orientation Express! Orient the cargo in each rail car as you trek cross-country… All Aboard!” Give it a play.
