Twisted Whiskers on iPhones!

May 31st, 2011

Yawp & Dander are at it again except this time they’ve gone mobile. Fetch, scratch and flush your way to victory with those wildly warped pets from The Twisted Whiskers Show! Beat the clock by performing absurd stunts: Claw a couch to shreds with Cutie Snoot! Go for a porcelain swim with Dander! Mark your territory with Ird the Bird! All that and more as you take a walk on the twisted side with Twisted Whiskers: Twisted Time Wasters!

Smashing originally developed the game in Flash for AGKidzones.com – American Greetings saw this as a perfect mechanic for touch screen so asked us to take Twisted mobile. Using Adobe Air Packager, the team optimized the Flash version of Time Wasters to offer it on the iOS platform. Get it now at iTunes!

Initial Animax Sites Launch!

May 12th, 2010

A full rebrand, redevelopment of an existing Drupal Content management system, and ensuring the new design worked in 23 regions of the world. No problem! Smashing Ideas had a blast collaborating with the team at Sony International on the redesign of Animaxtv.com, a teen and young adult-centered hub similar to ABC Family, the CW and MTV. Eight of the twenty-three sites have launched and the remainder are scheduled for July and September. Using the CMS, each region has the ability to customize the backgrounds and color themes, determine which blocks of content they want to include in the different sections of the site, and customize the content in the different blocks. Check out the initial launches:
