So why not test your spelling skills by grabbing a copy... APP STORE

Touch Cricket was a huge hit on the UK App Store over the summer of 2009 (which may possibly have been influenced by England winning the Ashes!). The game became top selling sport game and reached the Top 10 paid apps chart.

Simple yet complex the game uses multitouch to control the movement and timing of a batsman in his task to complete the games many objectives. The game also included Test Matches, One Day games and the ability to challenge friends who had the game via email.

Updates slowed during the winter months but with Spring in the air the game has been dusted down and is currently undergoing a ground up rebuild which will be ready in time for the sunshine.

Polar Peril for iPhone/iPod Touch was developed by On-Sea for Oscar winning FX agency Framestore (any resemblance to the polar bear from The Golden Compass is purely coincidental).

The game features smooth animations of the polar bear charactoer and lush game environments. Global and local leaderboards are shown on screen while playing to give the player constant feedback as to how they're doing.
