The Bugs Are Here!
Get ready for all the swarming bugs! Bugs Bubble, our next game for iPhone and iPod Touch, is just approved for sale.
Our developers created some really cute looking bugs with very realistic crawling movements. I am sure people will enjoy it. This is in the same fashion as our two previous games Pipe Dream and Escape I that uses the sensors and touch screen capanilities of iPhone to construct fun applications.
Pipe Dream Lite

Our best selling game, Pipe Dream, has a free version now. We just released Pipe Dream Lite today. User will be able to enjoy the same kind of fun as the full version, for 5 levels as opposed to the many many more we have in the full version.
Survive the haunted house - Escape I
We are happy to announce the release of Escape I, a re-fresh of an old classic. In this game our main character Johny boy got trapped in a haunted house and is desperately trying to get out, because he knows otherwise he will fall down to the dungeon and … There are many hazards such as treadmills, spring boards and others that could throw him off balance. Of course Johny will be rewarded for his struggle: there are gold coins that he can pick up along the way. After the game players can enter their name into the leader board.
Bugs Bubble, our latest game is out of development
Time for a change of pace I suppose. After rolling out Lamp Off and Road to Whitehouse, two fairly intense puzzlers, we shifted focus to some fun mindless adventures that requires good eye-hand coordination. Today we finished development work for Bugs Bubble.
The concept for the game is simple: you guide an air buble around the screen to avoid scwarming bugs. Once bitten, the bubble will pop. The air bubble inflates itdelf as time goes on and only shrinks after catching candy props.
This is a reimplementation of “Bugs are coming” game exists on PC. With the fantastic graphics capabilities of iPhone, we had a lot of fun designing and building this game. The stunning images and realistic moving bugs will be attractive to iPhone users, I am sure.
“Lamp Off” is out of development!
We just finished development of Lamp Off, our third game. Yeha!
The game play is pretty simple: you have a board with 25 light bulbs. At each level, a number of bulbs are lit. Light bulbs will toggle between on and off when touched, along with the 4 surrounding bulbs. The goal is to turn off all the bulbs on the board.
Now, Lamp Off is not quite original as the Pipe Dream. There are earlier PC incarnations of similar idea. I have even seen an first gen iPhone game of same nature. What we did here is really to jazz up the graphics and game play to make it much more appealing. The graphics in this game is the best we had so far. Kudos to our graphics designer!
There is a fantastic star linked wheel to select levels of play. In total we have 53 different levels to choose from so go ahead, pick your own challenge.
Beside normal play, we added a solve mode where we show you how to complete the game, in case you felt weak at heart.
With feedback from the other games we had so far, this is also the most polished game. Navigation and options are all there to make it fun to play.
Can’t wait to see it through the approval process.
What’s in the next refresh of Pipe Dream
We are planning for the next release of Pipe Dream, our first hand motion game. Many folks have spoken about their thoughts to improve the game, and we are incorporating a lot of jewels from the feedback. Many thanks!
So here is what we plan to do in the next release:
- Add auto save function, so the game can be resumed from last stopping point
- Add free play to allow selecting a starting level so we don’t have to start from level 1 every time.
- Allow marbles dropped from one end of the tube drop into the opposite plate. This would make it possible to correct initial mistakes made moving marbles out of the tubes.
- Add more chance to earn life in the earlier rounds to help beginners to progress further.
We also plan to enhance the graphics and getting a few levels with twisted tubes in there. Oh so much fun!
