Rowdy City Wrestling


Every wrestling career has to start somewhere. For you it’s the mean streets of Rowdy City. Rowdy City’s Wrestling gym is a place where dreams can be made or crushed. You will meet a variety of characters throughout your career, some who want to help you and others who maybe have other plans for you.In career mode you will start as a nobody and fight your way towards the RCW World Championships. It’s not going to be an easy journey, you will fight in 1 vs 1 matches, six person brawls and royal rumble events. The aim of the game is to earn cash to improve your stats so you can take on the guys at the top. If you need a bit of extra cash you can pick up a part time job lugging boxes around, or take the more dangerous route and do some street fights.This is the follow-up to Rowdy Wrestling by Colin Lane and myself. We put maximum effort into this one, with a more in-depth career mode and a lot more variety in settings and art. Very pleased with it!

golf zero


Golf Zero is a crazy mix of golf and platforming. Jump, bounce and slide your way around the levels trying everything you can to get the ball in the hole.There is nothing quite like a nice round of Golf.

The game was featured in the Celebrating Indies promotion on the App Store, as well as the App Store’s social media platforms.

Owen’s Odyssey


Owen’s Odyssey is the story of a boy, while on a journey, taking refuge from a storm in a dangerous place – Castle Pookapick. A castle where spikes, saws, fire, falling rocks, lava and creatures try and kill him. It’s a crappy place to take refuge. It’s okay, though. He can float past dangers using his trusty propeller hat.Features:
• 40 levels of platforming fun over three acts!
• Intuitive touch controls!
• Game Center support for achievements and leaderboards!
• Boss battles!
• Coins!
• Secrets!
• Hardness!
It’s been a dream of mine since I was a kid to create a video game. I remember my brother and I drawing levels for TurboGrafx-16’s Keith Courage in Alpha Zones on graph paper.So, I developed Owen’s Odyssey, a platformer starring a pixelated version of my 2-year old son. His random childlike wonder has helped me along the way. From all the enemies needing eye patches (apparently), to the name of the big bad boss – The Pookapick.
