UDC marked its annual event, Park Avenue Open Day, with the introduction of a swathe of new product.
Funny Kart: Let’s Go Shopping, aimed at small kids, sees the player try to pick up as many groceries as possible by steering their avatar left and right, as it runs down the aisle of a shop.
“There is also a handle at the back of the seat so the kid’s parent or guardian can help out with the game, if need be,” said Liz Padgett, sales executive for UDC.
Off the back of the resounding success of Red Dead Redemption 2 in the home entertainment sector, the company has invested in its own Wild West-themed game, Wild West Shootout, a straightforward shooting games.
With impressive graphics, Bug Cruncher has the player push a chameleon’s tail so its tongue appears on the screen to catch a bug. The chameleons themselves change colour, using LED lights, for an eye-catching affect.
Pearl Fishery combines a pusher with a ball drop game. The player presses a button to make a number of white balls join the pit, the more balls that get pushed out, the more tickets the player earns. Among the smaller white balls are larger orange ones, when these are pushed out they enter an area beside the pusher where it falls into one of six holes, each with a different number of tickets associated with it.
UFO Baby is a more traditional, four-player pusher with one difference, the platforms don’t move until a coin is put in. “This saves on energy and means the product will have a longer lifespan,” said Padgett.
In Clutch Shoot Combo, the player drops a miniature basketball onto a hoop from a moving start-point. If the ball goes in, they get 50 tickets, if not, the ball still rolls into one of a number of slots with various values, with a maximum of 20. “We are fairly sure we are going to change the name, though. ‘Clutch shoot combo’ is a basketball term, but not a lot of people seem to be familiar with it.”
All of UDC’s new line-up are redemption enabled.
