Who in the blazes?
Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

Windosil is a beautifully conceived, constructed and executed Flash puzzle game. The implementation of simple real world mechanics – within a strange, surreal and beguiling graphical world – makes for a a surprisingly tactile digital experience. The sound design is simple but effective. Windosill is designed, programmed and animated by Patrick Smith, of Vector Park. The objective of the game is to solve the puzzle: how to find the cube to open the door. Simpe eh? No. Tickling a giant bird in a distorted – and elasticated – spherical metal bird house, and rolling a wooden train, have never felt so satisfying… play it. |
