A few weeks back I was commissioned by Bug Interactive to develop a viral game for the Active Ashfield initiative and to promote the launch of their new website. The brief was to develop a sports-themed game that featured their two food-based characters (Brocky and Peggy) which would promote healthy eating and an active lifestyle.

The result is Active Ashfield’s Conversion Challenge, a game that tasks the user with scoring as many conversions as they can within the two minute time limit. It’s not quite as easy as it sounds though, as you have to factor dynamic wind (both in terms of direction and speed) and variable kicking power into your aiming!

To play the game or for more information on it, head over to the game’s page in the Projects section.

Tip: for the best chance of scoring, aim high and time your kick carefully!

Quak Wordsearch is an application that allows you to play a different wordsearch game every time you view it. Whenever you load the game it selects at random from a list of words that you have specified and places these words on the grid in random locations. To see this process in action, try refreshing your browser a few times on the game screen!

The application is ideal for puzzle websites, and as it allows for you to print the game out and complete it on paper it is also ideal for use in schools as an after-lesson activity.

For more information on the game, to play it or to buy it, please visit the Quak Wordsearch page.

Name that Note is a Flash game that improves the user’s music-reading skills by tasking them to read music from 2 different clefs through 3 different difficulty levels. The challenge is to correctly name as many notes as you can within a time limit, with the higher difficulty settings giving you more difficult notes to work with in less time. Scores are saved to a leader board to promote friendly rivalry.

The game has proven to be very popular among music enthusiasts and has received very positive feedback.
