Oliver and Spike is an adventure, platform game and exploration puzzler mix which combines elements of traditional adventure games with platform game-play. Think Ratchet&Clank meets Zelda meets Uncharted!

We follow Oliver and his trusty friend Spike, a small British Bull Terrier, on their quest to uncover the past and save the future. Sounds very generic? Well it's not! Unlike a traditional exploration and adventure game, Oliver&Spike features unique Dimension Jumping game-play. The Game will be available for Consoles, PC and Mac with additional companion games for iOS, Android and web depending on funding.

Each world (called Clusters) consists of at least three alternate Dimensions which need to be switched to in order to get ahead in the main quest-line. These Dimensions have the same basic shape but are otherwise very different. The Firma Dimension, for example, enables Oliver to bounce and jump higher, while the Aqual Dimension is submerged in water. With Oliver's special ability, he can switch to available Dimensions at any given time if a few pre-requisites are met.
These Dimensions however don't just serve as a fast go to point to get along on the main world. The alternate Dimensions have their own look and feel and characters with side quests, collectibles and secrets to uncover and explore. While you can fast switch to the Aqual Dimension to swim up to an otherwise inaccessible ledge, you will on top of this encounter its quirky and fun inhabitants.

There will be areas were Oliver and Spike can be controlled by different players and areas might only be accessible thanks to team-play. In an older development video on our development blog you can see how Spike is distracting a vicious plant in order for Oliver to climb past and push the log down which in turn enables Spike to progress to the other side.

While the focus of the game is to make sure it can be played alone, we are trying to implement as much game-play as possible which is playable in co-op mode with friends or family members. We won't block you from progressing through the game though, co-op will not be a necessity and fully optional.

We want to share the Oliver & Spike story on multiple platforms. For us, that doesn't mean just porting the core game from Console to PC or Mac but instead use the advantages of each platform to give you a fun and exciting overall experience. This means companion games on smartphones, or social games on Facebook. These mini games will further immerse you into the world of Oliver& Spike, explain about characters and give your more insight on the actual story-line.
We do have that knowledge in house and a very experienced team. It would be a waste on our part to not use this potential when it comes to different platforms. It also presents a unique opportunity for further immersive storytelling. We are also researching if a link between console builds and social media is possible.

Comic panels are also part of explaining what happened before the player starts the game. Our goal is to also create a line of comics and ideally even animated movie series to tell the story about all these beautifully designed worlds we designed.
