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.

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.

Game Release – Geo Trail

Ted Kacandes — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:15:22 +0000

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 – 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 – Orientation Express

Ted Kacandes — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:49:37 +0000

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.
