3w ago - Ripstone Creative Director Phil Gaskell announced today that Men's Room Mayhem is coming to PS Vita with details below.

To quote: My name is Phil Gaskell, I've worked on games such as Super Stardust HD, and Dead Nation. These days I run an indie publisher called Ripstone.

We helped teams like Voofoo Studios launch Pure Chess last year, and more recently Big Sky Infinity and Knytt Underground. We love indies and we love PS Vita, and I can't wait to share with you some of the awesome shizzle we're working on this year!

Today though I'm very proud to announce a game we made together with Sawfly Studios, a team of talented guys who are ex-Studio Liverpool.

The game is called Men's Room Mayhem, and as you can probably guess from the title it takes toilet gaming to a whole new level! If I had to sum it up in a single sentence I'd say it's like Flight Control meets Carry On At Your Convenience!

In Men's Room Mayhem you're hired as the janitor of your very own chaotic men's room. You're responsible for directing patrons, keeping everywhere sparkling clean and steering patrons away from trouble!

You need to get your customers safely to the urinals and cubicles in time - otherwise there'll be a few nasty accidents for you to clean up! Avoid...

3w ago - Fallen Tree Games Art Director Lewis Boadle revealed today that Quell Memento is sliding to PS Vita soon!

To quote: In developing Quell Memento for PS Vita, we realized that the project was first started 20 years ago!

You see, the game prototype was originally created on an Amstrad CPC computer, way back in 1993! Having said that, it was very different back then - it was called "Last of the Smileys" and was a lot more 8-bit in style.

As we set about improving the game for a modern release, we knew that we wanted to have a much more unique visual style. After much discussion, we decided upon a gentle old-fashioned look, in part because we read that the human brain is more intelligent when it is relaxed.

Quell Memento is intended to feel familiar, and to evoke feelings of nostalgia. After all, a game called Memento is always going to be about memories!

For this reason, we wanted all the elements to be recognizable from the real world (water droplets, pearls and roses, for example). This would mean, we felt, that the player is able to establish the rules of play quickly, because they know that a pearl is valuable, or that a thorn will likely burst a droplet.

We also decided that the puzzles would be set within an old abandoned house. What could...
