Singshot is the flagship mini game of the Super Sound Jam series. The aim of the game is to fire projectiles at your opponent using only your voice. Each player has a microphone, which uses the pitch and amplitude of your voice to calculate the projectiles angle and power. Set on a pirate ship in rough seas, each game is a best of three contest. Extra power is given to projectiles released in time to the backing music creating a frantic, fun filled game of skill that will appeal to casual and dedicated gamers alike. A demo will be released in February 2009, so stay tuned.
Voice controlled gaming is something that has yet to take a hold in mainstream gaming. We believe we have found the formula to
take voice controlled gameplay to the masses.
All that is needed is a microphone,
and our complex sound engine can analyse the incoming data to control gameplay.
Our gameplay is built on a complex physics engine which allows for realistic dynamic levels, and real world conditions. Users really get a feel for this when firing projectiles. Velocity and power affect the trajectory, as does the rocking of the ship on which your character stands. This forces players to time their shots carefully to ensure a direct hit.
Ramplifier is the second mini game in the Super Sound Jam series. Each player has a car which is launched along the ground. The user has to create a ramp in real time with the pitch of their voice to hit targets suspended in the air. Production schedule for Spring '09.
A multiplayer game based on a rollercoaster. Each player in their own carriage must sing in-pitch together to keep the carriages on the track. The tracks are generated from MP3 data.
Cropmaster was built in response to a brief set by the Eden Project in Cornwall. They ran a competition for groups to create a computer game which would help teach children about climate change and pollution.
Cropmaster was our submission, which won and was featured on the Eden Project website along with news coverage on the BBC. Cropmaster is a family friendly series of fun mini games which are highly addictive while simlutaneously carrying an important message: the environment matters! Download and play now (windows only).
