Reviews :

Overall Equilibrio is a great deal of fun with plenty of levels (some of which require some tight handling skills to pass), variable challenge, good graphics, great sound and good soundtrack, and tuned controls that work well.”
- Frapstr

Definitely a challenging game for which I can easily get addicted to!
- AppPodcast

Fun and easy to pick up. Doesn’t get boring at all and wonderfully put together. The production value alone is worth what you’ll be paying for. The game is a must have.
- The APPera

Overall I would have to say Equilibrio does offer an extremely challenging game with great eye candy.
- Appversity

“Equilibrio is one of those games that isn’t overly flashy, but has it where it counts. The simple game play design and challenging level set will keep you busy for quite some time, and at a mere 500 Nintendo Points, it’s actually a bargain!
- Nintendo Life

Like a 2D take on Super Monkey Ball, Equilibrio offers a good concept that fits WiiWare well. It’s not the most sensational design, but it controls well and is fun.

March 2009 - Teach game creation to childs

One of my friend has the idea to organize a "video game" night in a local theatre (he is the owner). This will take place in September 2009. We thought it would be a great idea to ask some youngs to get involved in the project.

So we are currently organising a game project with a community centre. The goal is to help childs (10 to 13 years old) create their own viodeo game (using simple softwares). The project will end in July. Stay tuned.

December 2008 - Two new games on WIIWARE

"Equilibrio" Wiiware is now finished. My second game on that service wil be a game with a fish (2D action game). The third will be "Super Fizz" (Puzzle game). They are both on the way. No release dates are defined, maybe something around Q2 and Q3 2009.

September 2008 - Volunteering in Hospital

I've decided to get involved in a social action.  Since june I'm part of the association "Les Blouses Roses" (The pink Overalls). The volunteers spend half a day per week in hospitals or old-people' home.

Each monday I go to the Versailles' Hospital (picture below) and bring a Wii and two DS. I have groups of 2 to 7 childs with age between 10 and 16. And we play all the after noon.

In march 2009, I spent an after noon in an old-people' home with a Wii. The experience was a success although the old people have lot of difficulties holding and using the Wii Remote.

 

June 2008 - Indiana Jones DIDJ

Indiana Jones is a platformer and educational game (Math) based on the Indiana Jones IV movie. I've managed all the programming part (we were 4 programmers) (the rest has been done at Virtuos). See a trailer here (click on the video window, on the bottom right).


 Users reviews :

- "I have two boys who really like this game. They each set up their own profile and then I went online and adapted it to their skill level. I have changed the skill set I want them to be working on a couple of times as I find they have learned something, or get too frustrated by something. My boys like Indiana Jones and really enjoyed doing things with his character. True, they would rather be playing the Wii. But they definately prefer this to doing review sheets or flashcards. And, they learn the stuff faster too. This is one of my favorite leapster games."

- "I bought this for my daughter's 8th birthday. I loved this movie when the series first came out and hoped it would be fun. She loves it and wants to play it often. I definitely would recommend it for all parents of daughter's - it's not just for boys!"

- "My kids love the Indiana Jones didj game. As play continues the questions and actions gets harder, keeping even us adults entertained while we play. You get to play both Indy and Mutt using whip and sword to fight the bad guys. Five stars on this Didj game!"

- "I bought this game for my 7 year old daughter, and we fight over who gets to play! I love it and its a great way for her to learn math while having fun!"

- "Santa brought my son a Didj and this game along with SpongeBob. My son enjoyed this game so much that he taught himself division using his hands just to be able to play the game. According to the Didj website my son is performing at the 4th grade level - not bad for a first grader. His math scores at school have improved as well getting 100% every time."
