After Pix’n Love – Rush (PS Minis), the infamous blue cat is back for an intense scoring arcade game loaded with surprises!”

When I start working on a new game, I make a few core rules to use later on as DNA pillars. These basic rules help to take all my decisions down the road. As we are making Pix the Cat @Pastagames, I learned that this process is flawed. Here is why:

Rayman Jungle Run is easy for all ages to pick up and play, but challenging for the longtime Rayman fans to master. Unlock the Land of the Livid Dead levels if you have the skills. Published by Ubisoft. Working on this game was amazing in very many ways. Ubisoft asked us to take Rayman Origins and fit it into a simple “one touch” runner game for tactile devices.

They gave us access to their impressive production tools in order to port their Framework (UbiArt) onto our own Linguini.

Help them collect enough scraps to rebuild their spaceships and send them home! Beware of the Crunshers that all looking to keep them on earth and start a Cosmic War! We were lucky to be chosen by Parrot to build this game. It was a complete deluxe discovery pack for us: augmented reality, novelty machine, gyroscopic controls, and actual Hardware management within our software. There was a long R&D phase as they were still working on their SDK when we started. To come upon such an original project to work on once in a while is simply wonderful. Naturally, the extreme restrictions limited our game-making liberties but the experience was delightful!
