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!

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.

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.

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 – 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.

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.
