Lep’s World

Administrator — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:41:36 +0000

Welcome to Lep’s World, a retro side scrolling platformer inspired heavily by Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. It was developed by the Austrian based Ner Brothers. Players must help the eponymous Lep the Leprechaun run & jump through 5 different environments on the quest to find his lost gold.

Lep’s World is one of the most popular titles I’ve worked on over the years. It could easily have been passed over as just another clone, but it’s tight game play and smart level design have helped to set it apart from the competition. With almost 20 million downloads to it’s name, across multiple platforms, such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and Kindle Fire, it can be considered no less than a run away success. It has over 20 thousand fans on Facebook and an equal number of 5-star user reviews on the various app stores. A sequel is already underway and is already starting to shape up as something special. Watch this space for more information.

You can download the free version of Lep’s World for Android HERE and iOS HERE.

Flip The Switch Wins Award

My good buddies over at Tribal City Interactive have won an award for their game Flip The Switch. It won Best Casual Game at this years Game Fleadh in LIT, Tipperary. Fair play to the lads, they slaved hard to make the game as fun as possible and the award is well deserved. I did some very minor artwork for this title, such as the eponymous switch sprite and a few other bits an pieces, but I’m happy that I was involved, however little it was, in the development of such a cool game. Congratulations Tribal!

The Marbians has been nominated for another award. This time around it’s the Best Games Out Of Denmark at the Danish Game Awards, or DGAs for short. The winners will be announced on the 9th of February, so fingers crossed our diminutive, marble-encased friends can pull it off a second time. They are up against some stiff competition, however. Also in the running is “Pigs in Trees” which was a big hit when it came out. You can read more about it HERE.

Update – The award went to Pigs In Trees, unfortunately. It is a well deserved award, though, in my opinion. Fair play lads.

Attack from Outer Space!

Attack from Outer Space! is a retro sci-fi themed side scrolling shooter, developed for iOS and Android devices. It was created my Finnish developer Kiai Games – http://kiaigames.com. It plays really well, making it one of the more enjoyable shooters on smart phones, in my opinion, and is available on both the App Store for iPad & iPhone and on the Android Market. It’s been received well on both platforms, scoring a 4.5/5 stars rating on each store.

I had a ton of fun working on this game. I had to research a lot of old sci-fi movies, which was great, and I got to add in a few nods to some personal favourites.

My good friends over at Tribal City Interactive have released their new game, Flip the Switch, for iOS devices. It’s a full-filled physics puzzler with a unique game mechanic and over 70 levels. I did some very minor work on this project a while back and I’m delighted to finally see it released. It’s a lot of fun and well worth the few cent it costs to download it. You can download it HERE

Continuing the trend of Marbians themed news, I’m delighted to announce that The Marbians has been shortlisted for the audience award for best design and usability in the Danish App Awards 2011. It’s up against some stiff competition, particularly ‘Sylvester’s Band’ which looks great. You can vote for it here, if you like: http://www.sugarcode.com/shortlist

Fingers crossed the Marbians does well. Unfortunately the Marbians don’t have any fingers or toes themselves, so they’ll need all the help they can get.
