Think Before You Sonic!

CBBC

To survive, learn when to think and when to run!

Genre: Mini Games
Released: 2010

4T2 designed and produced this game as the first in a series for the newly formed SJA Academy.

The game provides an online training program that trains wanna-be members of the Bannerman Road Gang in every aspect of alien encounter. The game is set as a simulation program driven from Mr.Smith as opposed to a 'real' situation where help is given every time a new skill is introduced. This is the ideal method to teach game play, as you master one element at a time. Cadets are taught how to use the Sonic Lipstick or screwdriver to create force fields that they can stand on and walk along. This campaign is a great example of how an atmospheric soundtrack can dramatically enhance a user's experience. There are 15 levels of increasing difficulty - combined with four alien attack levels where speed, agility and planning are key to survival.



If I haven't said it enough, just wanted to say it's been such a pleasure working with you guys on this. You've been absolutely amazing on this project, I can't speak highly enough of you.
