[December 2008] The FARM launch the Solo 'Slog A Six' Cricket Game
Just before Christmas we launched the Solo “Slog a Six” flash cricket game for NineMSN. The brief was to create an engaging and easy to play game to tie in with the Solo “Collect to Score” competition (collect 3 Solo drinks caps for the chance to win $1000 when Australia hit a six), and leverage the Solo summer sponsorship of the cricket and Andrew Symonds.
We had a lot of fun with this one, coming up with the concept to target your South African or New Zealand opponents and knock their caps off. The aim of the game is to knock off 3 fielders caps to enter “Slog Mode,” where you can slog the ball out of the ground or smash it into the commentator’s box and take out one of the commentary team.
We created a rich flash game packed with fun sound effects, animations (you might even catch a glimpse of a streaking ballerina man) and game interactions (try to hit the Solo blimp and see what happens).
