Here it is ! Tomorrow, Astraware will release Platypus, the famous PC casual game, which was later ported to PSP. Platypus is a high octane horizontal shoot'em up, which was entirely created with clay animation. This is the most squishy arcade game ever !
The versions for Windows Mobile, Palm OS (Symbian versions will be released later) were done by BitRabbit using our middleware, the RabbitFactory. Thanks to this tool, we were able to offer on the mobile versions all the features that have delighted so many players on the original PC version. All the mobile versions are a perfect replica. It has already received outstanding reviews from www.pda247.com and http://palmaddict.typepad.com
We are very happy, especially that at BitRabbit we are huge fans of this great game !
Yukiko and Atomanic were selected for the launch of a new mobile service in Korea, called WiBro, which is a WiMax service operated by KTF. Along with a few native mobile game providers, BitRabbit has been chosen to provide its award winning games (Windows Mobile versions) from the early start of this service !
A lot of games are currently worked on at BitRabbit ! Just to give you an idea, here is a very small preview of one of them, Surumi's Quest ! In the traditional japanese shoot'em up style, comes a game which would actually look very good on a console. Parallax scrollings, Mode 7 scrolling, 60 frames per second, particle engine, everything is there for an unforgettable mobile experience !
Also, we will be present in January at Las Vegas for the CES, so if you want to talk with us, just contact us to arrange a meeting.
Today is the release date of the RabbitFactory, the middleware developed by BitRabbit to develop high quality smartphone and PDA games. Offering unparalleled easy to learn and use C++ APIs, coupled with immediate deployment and certification ready features, the RabbitFactory is the fastest way to cover all smartphones and PDAs on the market, with new platforms soon to be added !
We are just back from two intensive weeks. We first were in London for the usual Symbian Smartphone Show, and then in Spain for the Orange Camp, in Cadiz. This hopefully should bring some interesting things in the future, since great contacts were established. And now the party is over, let's get back to work !
