RollOut: Top #1 Paid App France

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

We’re proud to announce that today, RollOut, our last iPhone game created in partnership with Artik Entertainment and BulkyPix has reached the first place on the French AppStore (top paid apps). We are even in front of the famous Angry Birds.

Also we had tons of positive reviews on the game (too many to quote here), the latest being made by AppModo. Here is what they say in substance: “The game is only $0.99, and for that price, it is a definite, no question, without doubt must-buy! It has elements of a platformer, a puzzler, and another genre that hasn’t been publicized yet (because of the unique control scheme). ”

Very cool isn’t it?

RollOut, an innovative iPhone platform game

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

RollOut coming to your iPhoneOK we haven’t spoken of in-house projects for quite a long time but we have been working on almost 6 projects at the same time. Today we are going to present you one of them: RollOut which is a unique platform game planned to be released first on the iPhone and will come on iPad later on (depend on you guys).

In RollOut you play as Wabba, a cute little creature and you have to help it get through levels in a uniquely nervous platform game that we exclusively designed with Artik Entertainment team for the iPhone platform in mind.

RollOut has a simple but yet challenging goal: touch the screen to scroll the icons and order Wabba when to speed up or speed down, when to jump and when to stop… Wabba truly depends on your scrolling skills to reach the end of each level!

Here is a teaser artwork for you to feed on while you wait for the official press release.
