Guess the names of the famous faces riding along in the cable cars in Skywire VIP.

Back when we made the original Skywire we had lots of emails guessing at who the little people in the cable cars were supposed to be. We liked this and so we expanded the selection of characters in Skywire 2 which we got even more email guesses about!

We actually made this mini-quiz in December 2008 when we started drawing lots of characters for a potential Skywire sequel. Although we haven't got round to making a Skywire 3 (yet) we thought it would be quite fun to incorporate them all into a quiz so that you could all see them and try to guess who they are supposed to be.

Have fun!

We hope the updates to Icebreaker: The Gathering and B.C. Bow Contest have kept everyone busy so far in January. We are pleased to announce that we now have a brand new game...

After taking a break over December the cavemen are back, and they've found a new location to hold a bow contest!

This time they are playing over a tar pit! The tar is full of dinosaurs who have got themselves stuck and can't get out. Be careful not to let your arrows fall into the tar or they'll go the way of the dinosaurs too (and lose you points).

Just a short post to let you know that we have made a slight adjustment to Icebreaker: The Gathering to prevent the "game complete" screen from coming up after the end of each clan after you have completed all of the levels. The fix will allow you to carry on with the next clan at this point and thus achieve a higher score.

In the fifth instalment of Icebreaker: The Gathering we meet the Hunter Clan. What are their fur hats made of? Help them rescue all of their clan and watch out for a weird new type of rock that allows you to add in pins to hold it steady. Using this in combination with your power to slice the ice you should be able to help our viking friends escape the frozen perils of the glaciers and get back to their longboat.
