Press Release - 29th July 2008
Naked Penguin Boy rises to the VC Chip Challenge
Release Date: 27th May 2008
Digital agency Naked Penguin Boy www.nakedpenguinboy.com was delighted to receive the commission from Victor Chandler to build a highly playable online game to promote the launch of their new casino website www.vccasino.com
Having built various online games for clients such as Ladbrokes, Playboy Gaming and Intercasino, Naked Penguin Boy were ready to rise to the challenge.
Keeping the elements of simplicity and high playability in mind, Naked Penguin Boy decided to opt for an arcade style game-play which maintains its popularity with online gamers and appeals to all game genre fans www.vccasino.com/chipchallenge/index.html
The VC Casino Chip Challenge game requires the player to navigate a casino chip around certain obstacles by using the arrow keys to hit a target. Once the target has been hit, the user is taken to the next level showing a new challenge. A simple concept, but a real task for even the most skilled of gamers to achieve over 10 levels.
The VC Casino Chip Challenge game interface offered the gamer a number of elements to interact with from a Send to a Friend function and a high-score lead table to links to the VC Casino where additional games could be played.
Naked Penguin Boy, stuck to the element of simplicity for the game design opting for a sleek look and feel to steer away from any unnecessary distractions for the gamer. However, alignment of the design with casino elements were included with the background images being taken from various VC Casino games.
