The CSS Design Awards is a prestigious international competition recognising some of the world’s greatest websites. Entries are judged on creativity and technical functionality.
Inspired by ‘game imitates life’ scenarios, Pudding Rush is a Christmas themed cooking style game whereby players are tasked with making a Christmas Pudding from scratch. By using a gesture based system, the game allows players to imitate real life actions such as peeling, chopping, stirring and squeezing which are designed to be intuitive, particularly on touch screen devices. The process is timed, so players are challenged to complete the tasks as fast as they can to complete their Christmas pudding to become the ultimate Pudding Master!
“It was a lot of fun to make, and a nice step away from every day work to do something totally driven by your ideas without boundaries,” states Hartwig.
“All the imagery of the cooking process are real shots - a real Christmas pudding was made in the process of making this game. Although by the end of making the game, it got a bit mouldy so I had to bin it!”
Since its release, Pudding Rush has also received a nod of approval from the CSS Awards – receiving a Site of the Day Award and website gallery CSS Brigit.
