Android gaming app ‘World of Brains’, created by Mumbai Based UnderDOGS Gaming Studio has crossed 50 K downloads. Composed of 40 challenging gaming levels, this gaming app, inspired by famous games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, revolves around Alien Blob who comes to a planet of brains and has to collect brains as ordered by his community. Blob’s mission is to collect brains and get back into his space ship before time out. Cutters, Lazers, Fire, Lightening and Spears are some of the obstacles that try to disrupt Blob and should be avoided to clear the level.
The studio believes that today’s game players are big time fans of games that can test their skills and this is what drove them to create a puzzle gaming app.
For developing this 2D game, which is aimed at mass audiences, the team carried out extensive research on current tastes of game lovers and managed to capture their likes and dislikes along with the art style that the audience would appreciate. The team then tried out varied sketches for the protagonist and ultimately settled with an Alien character without hands and legs.
“We decided on creating a cute, circular shaped character with vector and colorful graphics so that the game physics could be utilized much better throughout the game.” shares Vaibhav Chavan, Founder of UnderDOGS Gaming Studio with AnimationXpress.com
UNITY 3D engine with C# as the programming language is used to bring out the game. “Adobe Flash allows very crisp graphics that doesn’t pixel ate even if the resolutions change and hence we chose this medium.” adds, Omkar Patil, CTO at UnderDOGS
Vaibhav shares more on game testing stages for World of Brains, “We tested the game in three modes, in our team for glitches and wrong flow, then we let players of different age groups play our game and finally a team of beta testers tested it.”
The game will be soon be releasing for iOS users and on OUYA consoles too. In the upcoming version of ‘World of Brains’, the team plans to add new game play elements like Power-ups, Leader boards, Social and adding Customization of Blob using inApps.
“Next from our studio will be a 3D Car Driving game and the kicking aspect of it is its unique concept.” concludes, Vaibhav.
