Add It Up Online Now With Charting!

It's still in Beta, but the Add It Up activity from Brainiversity is now online to play and includes charting functionality.

What this means is that you can play the game every day and chart your progress as you get better (or worse) with your math skills. Check it out here.

As I said it's still in Beta and may have bugs. Please let me know if you find any!

Oh, and if you like the online version then you should download the Deluxe version - it features a lot more nifty features like full screen graphics, animation, more user profiles, the ability to compare charts, Daily Exam mode, etc. and 15 more activities.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet

How cool is this?

Comic creator Michel Gagné working on a cool game based on his beautiful artwork - called Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. It appears to be a quirky side scroller with lots of UFO action. Nice.

His web site says that he's currently seeking a publisher... surely it's the sort of game that Microsoft or Sony would snap up for XboxLive Arcade or Playstation Network?

I got a few copies of his Zed comic signed at comic con a few years back, as well as a copy of his animated short, Prelude to Eden, on DVD. His stuff is really beautiful and the animation and visual style of the game looks great!

Watch the game in action here.

Big thanks to local comic luminary Frank L. Weber for pointing this out to me.

Add It Up Flash Game Live (BETA)

Well, the first of the 16 activities from Brainiversity is now playable online at Casual Games Arcade. I literally finished the code about 10 minutes ago, so it hasn't had the most thorough of testing - but that's where you come in! If you get a chance, please give it a go - and let me know if it doesn't work in your browser.

It works on the Wii except for a minor graphics glitch which I'll iron out later. But for the most part I can actually play a portion of Brainiversity on my Wii - I must say it feels weird playing my own game with a Wii Remote.

The online version doesn't have all the features of the downloadable version like charting, stamps and the Daily Exam mode - but online daily charting is something I'm thinking about adding. It would also be cool to be able to see the daily charts of other players too. If it's not too difficult I'll have a crack at adding that in soon.

Flash Game Coming

Okay, I'm new at this Flash thing... so this weekend I'll be putting my first flash game, the "Add It Up" activity, up on my site for a beta trial. If anyone out there would like to give it a go, do so, and let me know if it works in your browser.

"Add It Up" Flash Version

I'll put the link to the web version up this weekend, so check back then!

Brainiversity in PC World Canada magazine

PC World Canada magazine has an article on brain training games called "Healthy Games: The new face of video games".

They mention Brainiversity as an example of a PC downloadable brain training title along with the new Ubisoft Life Coach series for DS.

Not bad - and the game hasn't even rolled out to the major portals yet.
