Leisure Suit Larry Leaves Lockup!

Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:23:58 GMT

Players (and “playas”) all over the world dropped to their knees today, surprisingly to pay homage to the master, the original top dog, the Casanova of computer games, Larry Laffer. Yes, the louche, lascivious, luckless but lovable star of Leisure Suit Larry is back — in his original incarnation.

Larry's original creator, Al Lowe, is working with the team from Replay Games to bring the original Leisure Suit Larry game to a whole new generation of netbooks, tablets and mobile devices — starting with Intel's Appup.com marketplace, where you'll find it this summer, on a device near you.

The new release is the 1991 remake of Larry's original scorching adventure Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards, which improved the game's original 16-color EGA graphics into achingly gorgeous 256-color VGA graphics, the 3D high-def of its day.

Now a whole new generation of fans can join Larry, cruising the streets of Lost Wages, pushing his luck, looking for love and Miss Right. Or maybe Miss Wrong.

The original Larry game sold far too well to be a cult classic; it was a best-selling ground-breaking, award winner. Upon the game's initial release, it sold badly, very badly. Prurient, prudish retailers thought its shocking content would end civilization, be a bad influence on children and maybe even lead to ‘you-know-what’. Al Lowe almost considered getting a real job. For a while.

But the game's laugh-out-loud humor, simple, engaging gameplay and just plain fun, led to great word-of-mouth until, over a year after the game was released, it achieved huge commercial and critical success, selling millions of copies. It even won the Software Publishers Association’s Best Fantasy, Role Playing Or Adventure Game award for 1987.

From his palatial penthouse apartment, high above the teeming streets of Lost Wages, Al Lowe offered these insights into Larry's success and return to the big leagues: "It's no fun telling people who want to play your games that their only recourse is to pirate them. Finally, Larry leaves his digital dungeon to delight those too young (or too smart) to play it way back when." Al expects a whole new generation of gamers to relate to a guy who's so out of touch he thinks a leisure suit is hip. "Men love the games because no matter how much of a loser they are, they're not as big a loser as Larry. And women love the games because, well, they've all dated a jerk like Larry."

Paul Trowe, CEO of Replay Games, said, "So many people enjoyed and were influenced by Larry's original adventure that it's an absolute pleasure to bring the smooth-talking charmer back to his legions of fans, a whole new generation of players and unimpressed women in bars and nightclubs everywhere. Working with Al means you can be sure the game is exactly how he intended it to be seen. It plays as smoothly as one of Larry's pick up lines. We're delighted, no, thrilled to be releasing Leisure Suit Larry In The Land Of The Lounge Lizards for a device near YOU, in the very near future."

Larry will be looking for love in all of the wrong places within the next several weeks. Watch this space for updates....

Beta Than You - FPS Trainer Moves Into Beta Period, Announces ALL NEW Features

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:02:51 GMT

FPS Trainer, the unique new online coaching system which trains players how to improve their skills in online first-person shooter (FPS) games, is moving into its Beta phase, which will see the service introduce many innovative new features and content, just in time for the 2011 Games Developers Conference.

The service's initial launch proved so popular that FPS Trainer took down two separate hosting services as people raced to register. The service hit its initial target of 10,000 registered users for the alpha build in a matter of weeks. The team has been overwhelmed with feedback from players and have pulled out all the stops to put together an all new early beta, which incorporates a great deal of the feedback from players.

FPS Trainer uses a combination of advanced AI and input from pro-gamers to coach players who want to improve their FPS skills; particularly for multiplayer online gaming. From the very basic skills like moving and using weapons, through to advanced strategy, FPS Trainer can help every player who would like to improve their game and 'aim higher'.

FPS Trainer is delivered online, via web browser. The classic mouse and keyboard controls can be supplemented with USB connected controllers for console players. The basic service is free to play, although the first premium content packs are already in production.

In the beta phase, FPS Trainer will be refined to enhance the user experience and make the service as accessible as possible. New features include:

* Dedicated servers to help avoid connectivity problems and enable players to have a smoother game experience
* A Play Now mode to allow players to jump straight into a game
* A major graphical overhaul to add advanced lighting, animation and special effects (with the same low-spec minimum requirements)
* Enhanced single-player training bots to help players practice their skills in a (relatively) safe environment
* Advanced metrics to enable players to visually track their progress and increasing skills over time
* New coaching assists to help with:
- Accuracy by providing real-time feedback for each shot fired
- A comprehensive post-match analysis mode to help players review exactly what happened in the previous game (starting with the kill-shot visualisation, or KillViz)
* Plus lots more coaching features coming soon

Upcoming new features will include:
* A full replay mode with more in-depth post-match analysis
* A peer coaching framework, allowing advanced players to effectively coach novices and intermediates
* Guest celebrity coaches from the professional gaming world
* A smartphone app to enable players to receive more advanced real-time coaching feedback and advice as they play

Alongside the standard free version of the game, the release of the first premium content packs for FPS Trainer: FPS Trainer Tactical (for realistic team-based tactical shooters, such as Call of Duty and Counter-Strike) and FPS Trainer HD (a downloadable high definition version of the game) will shortly be announced.
During the beta period, FPS Trainer aims to build a loyal community of users (the target is 100,000 by the end of Spring 2011).

Therefore, a number of new features will be added to the website to achieve this:
* A rank and progression system will be designed to help players track their improvement over a longer period (although the game is primarily designed to be played in small chunks)
* The best players and most prominent community members will be invited to become peer coaches
* A chat system will be added to help players communicate in the game
* International support will be added to the http://www.fpstrainer.com website

FYI: FPS Trainer developer Play2Improve will be on stand #714 (Scottish Development International) during the conference. To meet the company at GDC, please e-mail managing director Matt Seeney - matt@play2improve.com.

Outplay Entertainment - New Social Network and Mobile Games Publisher

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:42:24 GMT

Outplay Entertainment, a startup games publisher focusing on high-quality games for social and mobile platforms, launched today and announced that it is recruiting staff for its new UK headquarters.

Founded by games industry veterans Douglas Hare & Richard Hare (The Collective, Foundation 9 Entertainment), Outplay's primary focus is on providing consumers with high-quality, engaging, and, above all, fun experiences that can be accessed and played across the ecosystem of rapidly expanding social networks - such as Facebook - and the new generation of powerful, connected mobile platforms, exemplified by Apple's iPhone.

Outplay will be headquartered in Dundee, Scotland, one of the world's hotspots of gaming talent and creativity.

The company has been backed by Pentech Ventures, a leading venture fund in the digital media market, and the Scottish Investment Bank’s Co-investment Fund, providing Outplay with the resources and capital required for rapid expansion and the global reach required to meet the needs of this new generation of gamers.

Douglas Hare, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Outplay, said, "The global games market is changing in a very fundamental but extremely positive way. Over a very short period of time the number of people playing games has exploded and many of those players are demanding that gaming fits into the rest of their lives, whether that means on their mobile devices or as part of their favourite social network.”

“Gaming is reaching players all over the world, regardless of the hardware they use, or when and where they want to play. Outplay was founded to cater to this rapidly expanding global audience by taking lessons learned by the games industry over the last three decades and applying them to these new connected, interactive experiences as more and more people around the world discover the joys of gaming."

Richard Hare, co-founder and President of Outplay, agreed, "There are significant advantages to creating and publishing on social network and mobile platforms. Shorter, more focused development cycles help constrain the upfront investment required. The ability to then rapidly update the games based on measurable consumer response helps us attract and retain players by enhancing and updating the games' features. By investing in the right skills and focusing our publishing efforts on these new platforms and opportunities, Outplay is poised to become a significant player in the global games market.

Eddie Anderson, the founding partner of Pentech Ventures, added, "The recent growth and evolution of the global gaming market opens up a wealth of new possibilities and creates compelling new opportunities for games companies which understand the various new markets, business models, territories and routes to market. In Douglas and Richard, Outplay Entertainment has an outstanding management team with which to address these new markets and who can combine the creativity and passion demanded within the entertainment sector, with the business insight to reach these new audiences and maximise the company's reach as the sector continues to expand."

Andrew Sloane, Head of the Scottish Investment Bank’s Co-investment Fund, said: “Digital technologies are now changing the way the games industry both creates content and makes it available. Scotland is at the forefront of this change, with new companies like Outplay Entertainment creating the next generation of success stories. We are delighted to support this exciting new venture through the Scottish Co-Investment Fund alongside our longstanding partner Pentech Ventures. We look forward to seeing the company go from strength to strength in this fast-moving emerging new market.”

Tiger Games Brings Denki Blocks! To PSP In Europe

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:03:04 GMT

Block-shifting, shape-making, time-beating, award-winning puzzle game Denki Blocks! is coming to the PSP Minis store in Europe, thanks to the team at Tiger Games in Scotland.

Originally conceived and created by Denki, Denki Blocks! is a unique, simple and fun puzzle game, which combines really, really simple controls and concept with the most fiendish puzzles, traps and pitfalls since mankind stopped building huge, sinister temples.
The goal of Denki Blocks! is really easy. Join together all of the same coloured blocks. However, all of the coloured blocks slide – all at once. So getting the same colours together – and in the right shape – can be more challenging than climbing Everest in a canoe. The new PSP version of Denki Blocks! features over 100 hand-crafted, luxurious puzzles, especially designed for your puzzling pleasure and delight, master challenges such as making specific shapes, a maximum number of moves, or a time limit and many carefully hidden secret levels for the Puzzle Masters and Mistresses out there to find.

Since its original release in 2001, Denki Blocks! has appeared on many of the world's most exciting gaming platforms. Starting with the Nintendo Game Boy Advance - where it won multiple awards for originality, fun and general awesomeness – the Denki Blocks! world tour took in Sky digital interactive television (racking up over 1,000,000 paid downloads in its first six months on the platform), iPhone, iPod, iPad and most recently, Facebook, where Denki Blocks! Daily Workout now keeps the socially connected in tip-top condition, with a brand new set of challenges every day. Interestingly, Denki Blocks! counts confirmed fans in countries such as Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam, confirming that block-based puzzling is an activity which unites the world.

Now, Denki Blocks! has made the leap onto Sony's insanely popular handheld (over 50,000,000 sold to date) bringing over 78% MORE puzzley goodness to the shiny handheld fun gadget than ever before.

Jamie Bryan, the founder and managing director of Tiger Games, says, "I fell in love with Denki Blocks! when I first played it back in 2002. It's the perfect puzzle game for handheld gaming, so the chance to bring it to the PSP was far too tempting to pass up. Everyone deserves a chance to play this game. We worked closely with Denki to make sure everything about the game was translated and recreated to make full use of the PSP's high resolution screen and sophisticated controls. We think the result speaks for itself and we're looking forward to players across Europe discovering the delights of slidey, sticky blocks for themselves."

Colin Anderson, managing director of Denki, agrees, "Ever since setting up Denki over ten years ago we’ve been looking for partners we can trust to bring our games to more players on other platforms. Tiger Games impressed us right from the moment they first approached us. They were clearly fans of Denki Blocks! already, and that gave us a lot of confidence they would deliver a great version of the game – and they didn’t disappoint. Tiger Games has done an impressive job of translating all the key parts of Denki Blocks! and recreating them for the PSP. It's fun, slick and works really well on the PSP's larger screen and analogue controls. It feels like a version Denki would have made itself – and as a game creator that’s as good as it gets when someone works with one of your creations. As a result, we’re proud to welcome this newest member of the much respected and venerable Denki Blocks! family and await another wave of desperate, solution-seeking emails from new players with the keenest anticipation!"

Denki Blocks! is release on the PSP Mini's Store in Europe on 26th Jan and will cost £3.49.

Chunk Launches Dedicated Games Label - Chunk Games!

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 10:32:43 GMT

Digital creative agency Chunk has launched a brand new games label - Chunk Games - which will publish original and branded titles across all platforms - while the company's existing digital services will continue under the newly created Chunk Digital brand.

Since 2001 Chunk has worked with some of the world's largest brands to develop innovative and creative online projects - including games. Chunk Games will build on this experience, giving the company credible, dedicated presence within the rapidly evolving games and interactive entertainment markets.

Chunk Games will be developing and publishing games across all platforms, from the home consoles and handhelds through to mobile devices, smartphones and online games channels.

Donnie Kerrigan, Managing Director of Chunk Group, says, "“The whole notion of video games has changed over the last few years. Everyone is playing games now - and they’re playing them everywhere, on every possible device. That’s a massive worldwide audience and an amazing opportunity for developers, agencies and brands. However, you still need to know what makes a great game. Chunk Games' whole focus centres on games, games that make people feel good. When you add this to Chunk's experience and expertise in the wider digital markets, it gives us a huge advantage as the gaming sector grows.

“Working in the games sector needs a dedicated and expert presence. Chunk Games was created to make sure that as a developer and publisher we're building the right content for the right platforms and making the utmost of all the new opportunities offered by the games world as it goes in all of these exciting new directions.”

The first two Chunk Games titles, created for iPhone/iPod will be announced in the near future, with a release date before the end of 2010.

About Chunk Group
Chunk was established in 2001 as an alternative to getting a real job. An independent digital creative agency, Chunk is described in this boilerplate as 'unique' and 'innovative' but then we would say that. Chunk HAS worked with an array of interesting companies, brands and projects across all types of media though. Headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland (colder than London, yet only 45 minutes away by plane, fact fans!), Chunk offers a different approach to digital design, based on an almost supernatural understanding of technology and an unashamed desire to do something fun with it.

OK, so, Chunk has worked with companies including Audi, Volvo, Disney, the Macallan, Famous Grouse, Cadbury, Kronenberg, Fosters and more — many more. Some of Chunk's favourite projects include an entire cinema full of people controlling giant virtual purple eyebrows (this is all true) to win free chocolate. We also established a new world record in London's Oxford Street, where Jamie Redknapp and 180 school children played a game of virtual 'keepie-up' using motion tracking. We even answered the unspoken prayers of accountants, book-keepers and busy executives worldwide, when we created an (award-winning) online game for accounting software company, Sage, to help train their brains and keep them honed to a razor-like sharpness, which is vital in those areas of high finance, corporate management and doing ‘significant’ things with money.

It's works too. Chunk won a 2010 Scottish Design Award for Sage Train Your Brain (we mentioned that, right?), as well as two DADI awards, for the same project and the Cadbury’s Eyebrows cinema campaign. We're glad we have offices with a large enough mantelpiece.

In late 2010 Chunk established two new brands. Chunk Digital will continue the company's massively popular digital creative work, whilst the new Chunk Games label will design, develop and publish original and branded videogames - across all platforms - which we hope will be just as award-winning, and might even impress attractive people at parties.

Collectively, the company will be called Chunk Group, though friends can still refer to the company as 'Chunk'.

Revolver PR's Head of Interactive Entertainment Hosts 2010 Games Awards

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:52:30 GMT

Edinburgh International Conference Centre, August 15th, 2010. Brian Baglow, Revolver PR's head of Interactive Entertainment hosted last night's Dare to be Digital Protoplay Awards ceremony, at the culmination of the three day event.

Now in its tenth year, Brian has been involved in the Dare to be Digital competition in various ways, from the very first year - as a judge, a mentor, providing PR consultancy support, the face of this year's entry video and now, as the host of the awards ceremony.

Dare to be Digital is the world's leading game design competition, challenging teams of students from universities around the world to create new and original videogames. Teams have only ten weeks in the computer labs at the University of Abertay in Dundee to design and develop their videogame. At the end of this time, they have three days during the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival to showcase their games to members of the public, as well as a panel of judges drawn from the world's leading games studios.

The Digital PR specialist presided over an event where three teams are chosen as winners and go on to become nominees in the British Academy of Film & Television Awards (BAFTA) 'Ones To Watch' competition. A new category of award, created by BAFTA specifically for Dare to be Digital entrants. The three winning teams and games are:

* Angry Mango (Mush)
* Team Tickle (Sculpty)
* That Game Studio (Twang!)

Other awards included:

* The audience award - voted for by the several thousand people who visited the Protoplay event (won by That Game Studio's Twang!)
* The Intel Visual Acuity Award - presented to the team making best use of Intel technology (won by Bazooka Duck's Epoch Defence)
* The Turner Broadcasting 'Adult Swim' award - for the game which best captured their in-house style (won by Bears With Jetpacks' Grrr!)
* The team choice award - voted for by the Dare teams themselves (Bazooka Duck' Epoch Defence)
* The Wacom 'Dare with Bamboo' award - presented to the developer who created by the best game using the company's tablet technology

Brian said, "I was delighted to be asked to host the 2010 Dare to be Digital awards, not to mention a little puzzled. For most of August, Edinburgh has more comedians per square foot than the funeral of a Chuckle Brother - most of whom would happily host the awards for a space to sleep, or access to the sandwich tray at lunchtime. So it was an honour to be the one to host the award ceremony. As the EICC is fringe venue 150, I consider this my first one-man fringe show. I look forward to the reviews...

Dare to be Digital is quite simply the most exciting videogaming competition in the world. It finds and rewards the next generation of game designers and creators by putting them through and incredibly tough ten weeks. Designing a videogame is hard work for an experienced team over a number of years, so for a group of students to go from a basic concept, through to a working game, which is then played over several days by members of the public, is exceptionally challenging. I truly believe Dare should be recognised as the videogames world cup, Wimbledon and Olympics, all rolled into one. I can't wait to go my hands on this year's games and I'm already excited about Dare 2011."

Revolver Working With Dynamo Games

Wed, 19 May 2010 11:16:41 GMT

The new interactive entertainment division of Revolver, Scotland’s digitally-enabled PR agency, is to provide PR and communications services to Dundee’s Dynamo Games as the studio grows and expands.

Dundee-based Dynamo is a multiple award winning videogame developer. The studio is the creator of the BAFTA-winning Championship Manager series on mobile phones, as well as the cult TV quiz shows Countdown and The Crystal Maze.

Revolver is providing the company with consultancy and communications support on both corporate and consumer fronts as Dynamo plans a number of wide-ranging changes to its business.

Brian Baglow, the head of interactive entertainment at Revolver, says, “Dynamo is one of Scotland’s most successful mobile developers. The studio has shown time and again that it understands the market, the audience and the challenges facing developers as the industry expands and evolves. We’re very pleased to be working with Dynamo at such an exciting period in the company’s ongoing growth.”

Iain Bruce, the founder and managing director of Revolver, says, “Scotland’s videogames market tends to hide its light under a bushel and rarely lets the world see how strong, diverse and independent it is. I’m delighted that we will be helping Dynamo to pioneer news areas which promise to redefine the entire future of the games industry.”

Dynamo Playing Smarter

Wed, 19 May 2010 10:21:33 GMT

BAFTA award-winning game developer Dynamo Games is growing and rebranding to meet the challenges of the rapidly evolving games industry.

Dynamo has changed its focus, moved into larger premises, increased its headcount and is about to release its first social gaming title: Soccer Tycoon™.
After working successfully in the mobile phone market for the last 6 years, Dynamo’s strategy for the future is changing to incorporate the huge opportunities now appearing within the social gaming and smartphone sectors.

These areas offer incredible potential for game developers, thanks to enormous numbers of users, alongside new business models and the ability to make games available directly to consumers. Apple’s iPhone App store has already made over two billion sales, while social network Facebook, now boasts over four hundred million users worldwide.

To accommodate the company’s new growth Dynamo has moved into new, dedicated offices within the heart of Dundee – Scotland’s gaming capital – and increased its development team by 60% with further additions possible in the coming months.

Dynamo’s Managing Director, Brian McNicoll, said, “The games market is undergoing an incredible transformation which is changing every aspect of the business. New devices and platforms are creating and opening up markets which simply didn’t exist a few years ago. Developers cannot afford to ignore these new channels since the business models underpinning the ‘mainstream’ games industry simply do not work.

Dynamo has repositioned itself to take advantage of these new opportunities and ensure we remain at the forefront of the games industry as it continues to evolve. It’s about being smarter, not larger.”

Dynamo will be releasing more information about the new Soccer Tycoon™ game in the near future.

Turner launches Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator in the UK

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:15:33 GMT

Turner Broadcasting has launched a free online game creator on Cartoon Network based on its number one boys' franchise Ben 10.

Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator enables kids across the UK to build professional looking online games and share their work in the Game Creator online community.

To date, Game Creator has generated more than 20 million game plays and seen more than 50,000 games created since a soft launch on Cartoon Network's website in October. Following its impressive UK debut, the Turner-created game is rolling out across 12 European territories.

Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator is Cartoon Network's first online game to incorporate user-generated content, and allows users to select everything from the game environment, to the heroes, the villains, obstacles and the game objective. Tiles and selected objects are then drawn onto a grid, creating a platform-style game that the creator must be able to complete in order to upload to Cartoon Network.

The top 200 games will feature on Cartoon Network's fully moderated kids games area on the website, and games can be played, shared and rated by all visitors to the site. New content will appear on the site daily and visitors can browse for new games by hero, game type or favourite game creator.

Caroline Casey, director of Digital Development at Turner Broadcasting, EMEA said: "As the number one boys' brand in the UK, the Ben 10: Alien Force Game Creator adds a new dimension to the way kids can engage with their favourite hero online. The character association clearly makes this game very special, but what stands it apart is that it's so easy to use, and that kids are making stuff for kids. The phenomenal launch stats attest to Game Creator's immense usability and playability."

This news comes off the back of 32Red's nomination for eGaming Review's Casino Operator of the Year award for 2009, marking a good year all round for the casino having retained the Best Casino title in February, enjoyed unprecedented recruitment figures and a successful television advertising campaign.

Lottery.co.uk launches free Lottery checker tool

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:47:44 GMT

Lottery.co.uk, the most popular independent lottery web site in the UK, has launched a brand new Lottery Checker tool that enables players to check their tickets faster and more conveniently than ever before. Since the launch of the National Lottery in the UK in 1994, players have missed out on prizes worth millions of pounds by failing to meet the 180 days claim deadline, and it is hoped that the new Lottery Checker will help to reduce the number of unclaimed prizes in the future.

The new Lottery Checker tool is easy to use because it presents the player with a new visual interface that shows the lottery numbers 1 to 49. The player simply clicks on the six numbers that they would like to check and once more on a Check My Ticket button. A new screen then appears that shows the player exactly how many of their numbers have been matched in previous draws.

The most recent draw is displayed first, but the player can scroll down to see the lottery results for the last six months. Results are limited to the last six months because winning tickets for lottery draws that took place before that will no longer be valid for claims purposes. Any winning draw is highlighted so the player can quickly identify the size of prize that has been won.

Many lottery players are in the habit of entering the same set of numbers repeatedly, and to make life even easier for those players, Lottery.co.uk offers a free Automatic Ticket Checker service. This allows players to enter any set of numbers that they want to keep track of (or several sets of numbers if they play several tickets) and provides access to a customised results screen whenever they log into the free service. Once the initial settings have been saved, this Automatic Ticket Checker makes it possible to check several dozen tickets in just as little time as it takes to check one.

In addition to the main checker for the Lotto game, there are similar Lottery Checker tools at Lottery.co.uk for those who play the EuroMillions, Thunderball or Daily Play games. These work in exactly the same way as the main checker, and allow all lottery players in the UK to benefit from the free Lottery Checker service no matter which game they play.

Sam Weren, spokesman for Lottery.co.uk said: "The number of lottery players who miss out on prizes every year is staggering, so if our new Lottery Checker tool and Automatic Ticket Checker service helps to lower that figure by even a handful, it will have been well worth introducing. The ability to check not just one line but multiple sets of numbers will obviously be of use to individual lottery players, but it also makes the Lottery Checker an indispensible tool for lottery syndicates as well."

The Lottery Checker tool and Automatic Ticket Checker service are both live at Lottery.co.uk and are provided free of charge for anyone who wants to use them.

About Lottery.co.uk
Lottery.co.uk is an independent Lottery web site that provides Lottery players with everything they need to get the most from their favourite hobby. Check the latest lottery results for all National Lottery games, read all about the latest lottery news stories, make use of an informative articles archive and much more.

Barclaycard launches Waterslide iPhone game

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:10:38 GMT

Barclaycard has launched a free iPhone game to coincide with its acclaimed Waterslide advertising campaign. The game, called Waterslide Extreme, is a first for the financial services industry and reinforces Barclaycard's commitment to embracing new ways of connecting with current and potential customers.

The Waterslide Extreme game, developed by fishlabs and Dare for Barclaycard, has nine levels with the objective to steer a character down an increasingly difficult waterslide in the quickest time whilst collecting points and avoiding objects along the way. Visitors to an Apple Store or ITunes can download the application for free from mid July.

Paul Troy, Head of Advertising and Sponsorship at Barclaycard, said: "The launch of the iPhone 'Waterslide Extreme' game is a first in financial services. The Waterslide ad has engaged millions online and this game gives consumers the opportunity to go on the Waterslide themselves."

CEO & Co-Founder Michael Schade, from fishlabs said: "We expect the game to be a great success from the feedback we received from the customer testing. It is great to work with a client such as Barclaycard that wants to do something different and fun and we are delighted with what we have produced."

The concept for the mobile game is taken from Barclaycard's latest advertising campaign that demonstrates the ease of contactless payment.

Barclaycard continue their innovation drive by being one of the first brands to use Sky's new green button technology, providing consumers with behind the scenes footage of how the TV ad was made. An animated introductory spot to the 40" Waterslide advert has also been created in partnership with Sky to invite viewers to engage via their green button.
