Band Together
Band Together is a fantastic game to play. It is super cool. People are going to love it
David Lynch, Director
Thank you SO MUCH to our early supporters
Band Together is an addictive microplatformer with single screen puzzles for the iPad 2 and the New iPad featuring gorgeous Retina graphics It was developed by a team of three students overseen by Dave Taylor Doom, Quake, Abuse, Karateka. Art direction and overall game design was provided by John Chalfant, best known for his stunning characters in the WarCraft 3 trailers, his design work on Arthas the Lich King for World of WarCraft, for his many collaborations with David Lynch, and most recently for the iconic key art used to promote Batman: Arkham City.
Band Together is like Little Big Planet meets Lemmings.but with thumbtack death machines How cool is THAT
Duane Stinnett, Art Director on Starcraft and Diablo
As an aficionado of the cute and twisted, I love the art direction of Band Together.
Lorne Lanning, Creative Director of the Oddworld Quintology
The characters are cuddly but in a very sophisticated way, and the thumbtack nemesis element is brilliant, not just clever. The shading, the overall ambience is thoroughly conducive in complimenting the overall story base of creatures under threat. Kudos.
Syd Mead, Designer
Countless times Ive witnessed people get transfixed and mesmerized by Band Together myself included. Im impressed that students were able to craft a game so engaging and addictive.
Mike L. Murphy, Animator, Lord of the Rings
The Backstory:
Michael Silverstein is nicknamed Midge by the mean kids in school because he has tiny, tiny hands. Frustrated, Midge retreats to his Great Aunts attic, where he makes things with his tiny hands that no one else can.
While digging through the bowels of the attic, Midge finds an old, dusty shoebox. Inside are curious little creatures fast asleep. When exposed to the light, they all wake up and stare at Midges tiny hands like theyre the hands of God.
Midge quickly takes a shine to the little creatures and decides to call them Bandies because they seem to like to band together. While they dont say much, Midge eventually discovers that the Bandies are pining to be tested, so he begins to build a series of diabolical tests to push the mysterious little Bandies to their limits
The Game:
Welcome to Band Together: The Unboxing for the iPad 2 and new iPad. Simply touch a Bandi, and drag him where you want to go. Remember to keep all your Bandies well lit so they dont fall asleep, and steer clear of thumbtack death machines, pencil pit traps, baseball boulders, and more. Figure out how to reach the popsicle stick pressure plates and miniature switches that open the trapdoors, retract the pencil walls, and move up the platforms that will get the bandies to the exit. Part puzzle game, part adventure all painfully cute fun for your iPad 2 and the new iPad
Game Features:
o Dozens of engaging levels with a gentle learning curve
o Watch the story unfold in Midges handdrawn secret journal
o Skip the levels that you arent ready for and return to them later
o See how many Bandies you can save on each level
o Thoroughly tested on children aged 4 to 100 No kidding
o No blood, no gore, but strangely satisfying anyway
Special Platform Features:
o Gorgeous, ultrahighdefinition graphics for the New iPad
o Highdefinition graphics for the iPad 2
o Super broken and slow on the original iPad Please dont buy it for that
