Battle for Planet Science – 2009 Adobe Max Semi-Finalist

In March we launched a ten-week episodic adventure game – Battle for Planet Science. The online game was designed to engage young people and develop their interest in the different aspects of Science. The game delivers over half an hour of science driven fun, combining clever panoramic visual and problem solving gameplay to create an enjoyable educational experience.

Released alongside a ‘Design a Superhero and Villians’ Schools competition, all characters were designed by Pupils and the winners redrawn by a professional comic book artist. The game was designed to match the comic book theme and if you complete the game and you’ll even be able to print your own comic book based on your in game choices.

We developed Battle for Planet Science using Adobe Flash. We believed it to be an excellent game and it appears Adobe agree. Battle for Planet Super Powers made it to the semi-finals of the Adobe Max 2009 awards. Though it’s a shame we didn’t make it to the final, recognition in such a high profile award shows we are making massive leaps in the quality of our development.
