BIONICLE Stars

Let's go play Tower Defence

Genre: Tower Defence
Released: 2010

4T2 says goodbye to the LEGO BIONICLE brand with a lava drenched bang!

The BIONICLE Stars range reunites and redesigns six famous characters for a final curtain call. This campaign is 4T2's first Tower Defence game. Or should that be Tower Defense? Who knows. With this game aimed at nine year old children, our first challenge was to take the genre back to its basic principles: stop hordes reaching their goal by placing towers (or in this case, heavily armed robots!) along their path. We then added as many unique elements as we could without making the game too complicated for a child to play. For example, context sensitive menus expand wherever you click, helping to simplify your options without limiting the game. Finally, we challenged our design team to make this campaign look stunning. Take a look for yourself and see what you think.
