“Nanotube” is a wicked little flash game that my mate John put together. The game itself is fairly simple: You must rotate the outer ring of cells to catch the corresponding coloured particles which move outwards from the center of the screen. For every particle you catch your energy bar gradually turns green, while missed particles cause it to gradually turn red. Keep it in the green to score points, but go too far into the red and it’s game over.

Don’t let the simple mechanics fool you, though… this game is a tricky little bugger! It quickly goes from nice and casual to absolutely frantic, where one little mistake can lead to a huge, panicked chain reaction, shouting “oh shit! oh shit! oh shit!!”

Nanotube is released under Slakinov.com, which is a new project that John and I are working on in our spare time. We hope to build up a nice collection of games there in the future, focusing on stylish presentation, interesting gameplay mechanics and, most importantly, fun! We should have a proper site up there fairly soon-ish, so stay tuned…

An independent game developer got in touch with me to ask for permission to use my track “Lost in Bass” in his game “GraLL” – a 3D puzzler involving strange scientists, hazardous obstacles and a mysterious, spherical robot!

The track was slightly longer than the developer had in mind and was sounding a little rough since its original release in 2003, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to create a new and improved edit for 2007.

Check out the game and you’ll hear my track if you make it to the last level, or simply download the mp3 from the link below!
