Boom Fighters
Jump, defeat enemies, avoid obstacles, solve puzzles and more by playing to the rhythm of music as awesome vinyl toys that will save the world from boredom. It will also have a level editor for you to create your own worlds and share them with other players around the world!
Boom Fighters is a music 3D platformer title where music, video games and designer-toy-style figures meet to create a fascinating universe full of craziness and fun. This game is in early stage of development, but we want to share all the development process with everyone.
The level editor will allow players to create their own levels either with the characters, songs and environments that are included with the game.
The world of Boom Fighters is being numbed by the boredom caused by an evil entity, who has kidnapped all the elements that made the world fun and locked them in a secret place. The boom fighters have to travel and fight this entity and its henchmen to find the secret place and give the fun back to the world.
This is the scope planned for the complete game on final release (Early Access will start in 2020):
★ 10 Worlds + 10 Songs
★ 10 Playable Characters
★ MIDI instruments can be used as input
★ Platformer + Puzzle + Fighting mechanics
★ Level editor for the players to create their own levels

Designer Toys
Our inspiration for this game comes from different worlds. On the one hand, we have always loved vinyl (designer toys) figures, from brands like Kid Robot, Tokyo Plastic, Tokidoki and the likes. On the other hand, music has been one of the strongest forces to drive our studio’s creativity. Our musical inspiration comes from The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz, among many others. And finally, since the beginning of our operation we have been inspired on how our players have loved the rhythmic mechanics that we’ve created so far and we can not wait to continue creating this kind of games d(-.-)b
BEAT BOY
You can not choose your dreams, but you can control them.
BEAT BOY Is an autorunner platformer (currently in development) where player’s actions are related to different musical mechanics. It is a cutting edge rhythm-adventure game developed with a proprietary beat matching technology where music is perfectly synchronized with action. The game features outstanding graphics, brilliant electronic music and multi-player gaming. BEAT BOY combines a player’s audio and visual senses together in a journey through a teenager’s dream/nightmare world. Players can compose and mix music through the platformer mechanics and they can create their levels too!
BEAT BOY is a perfect blend of rhythm and adventure. It takes the fun and addictiveness of the music games and puts them into the intriguing world of a platformer adventure game. It is like a very fast paced platformer where the players must perform multiple actions very fast and the music beats are the keys to perform them well. Music empowers players to become faster than they ever thought possible!

MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW INNOVATORS
Co-Founder Juan Pablo was awarded by the MIT Technology Review for the game mechanics and engine in Audio Ninja
The musical mechanics are somewhat natural and attractive to humans. However, in many cases, the development of musical talent is rather tedious and demotivating. Juan Pablo’s creation, an action game for mobile devices based on a command of rhythm, is revolutionizing the way of developing these skills in a simple and intuitive way.
Unlike the explicit form of other musical video games, which display notes or pentagrams which discourage those who do not know much about music, Juan Pablo has used digital tools to fully integrate the mechanics of the rhythm in the game, as a fundamental aspect in the user experience. Since it appeared in the App Store, Audio Ninja has been the number one in its music games category in 63 countries with 5-star ratings in most cases.

About Us
Don’t play the music, play with the music.
Cocodrilo Dog’s proven technology TORI, is what sets our games apart from other music games. We don’t create abstract games about lines and dots with rhythmic patterns. We create heroes, worlds and stories that are perfectly merged with music dynamics like rhythm and tone.
We want to build the next generation of music games. Cocodrilo Dog’s vision is a musical-gaming format that appeals to everybody. It is easy to learn and highly addictive!
Our tech processes audio synthesis and sampling, and provides an API to generate interactive behaviours based on music such as movement, beat matching, pitch matching, procedural generation of music, recording, etc. It basically allow us to create any kind of music-related interactive content, including very well executed rhythm games and apps.

Educational video games

I loved to play video games with my dad when I was a little girl. It was thanks to a “Nichiman” (A Colombian version of the Micro Genius console) that I learned how to play Baseball, to shoot to innocent ducks (now I have mixed feelings about that) and rescue the princess from Donkey Kong. BTW, parents, please play video games with your kids, it is an experience that they won’t forget. Today I’m a great fan of the video games and tech industry and I’m an excellent Mario Kart player and other racing games.
I think that beauty is in the details. I like the good quality in the work, innovative ideas and people that can solve problems. If you want to see my LinkedIn profile, please go here

I started my video games career when I was 6 and my older brother taught me how to play Atari 800 LX games like Montezuma’s Revenge, Pole Position and Bruce Lee. Some years later I purchased a Sega Genesis and Sonic 2 became one of my all-time favourite games. Then I discovered how to perform fatalities in Mortal Kombat II and oh my! I was dragged to the dark side of the force.
