XBLIG Avatar Ragdolls heads to iOS and Android

Running Pixel is very happy to announce that one of the Running Pixel's most downloaded Xbox Live Indie Games Avatar Ragdolls is on its way to be ported on Android and iOS devices (including tablets and iPad).
Avatar Ragdolls actually features on XBOX360 the Xbox Live Avatars and real rag-dolls physics plus a multiplayer gameplay.
The mobile port will not feature for obvious reasons the Xbox Avatars but on the other hand will feature gestures, accelerometer and several new gameplay elements.
Avatar Ragdolls is one of our preferred and most successful Xbox Live Indie games and we think it fits perfectly with the casual gaming on the mobile devices.
The game is being ported using the multiplatform tool Unity3D. The release is planned for this December.

THE NO BUTTON GAME - the first button free games ever on XBOX360

The No Button Game is probably our greatest success; released on August the 1th 2010 on the Xbox Live Indie Games Marketplace was downloaded 80000 times in it's first month live and with more that 6000 downloads in a single day is probably one of the most downloaded indie game in a day ever.

The game is designed around its unique control mechanism system, for the first time an xbox game (before Kinect) uses no buttons to be played.

here's a small video: enojoy!
