Voodoo Vengeance

Voodoo Vengeance - Mobile Game Design

The Upstart N-GAGE™ Challenge:

Voodoo Vengeance was my entry into the Upstart Challenge, a competition to design a game for the Nokia N-GAGE and intended to foster talent in the Irish Games Industry.The N-GAGE Challenge was organised by UPSTART games and supported by Nokia (Ireland) Ltd. and O2 Ireland.

The ‘who’ is up to you. Create your very own Virtual Voodoo Doll of that person that drives you nuts! Then go get some vengeance, get some Voodoo Vengeance. Initially the player is presented with a tug-of-war style meter, 50% player 50% doll. Battle it out through the various Voodoo torments available to ultimately "break" your doll.

Voodoo Vengeance passed through the earlier stages of the competition being named in the final twenty five and then later selected as one of five finalists. The five selected concepts were later developed into game prototypes by Digi:CC and shown as part of the Digital Hub Exhibit 4: Play exhibition. The public then voted for their favourite game and Voodoo Vengeance was overall runner-up in the national competition.
