More Information About Saqqarah!
It's a time to lift the veil a bit and present you more details about our upcoming game. We also have a new pack of screenies for you. This time showing some actual in-game events.
In Saqqara the player will discover a mysterious underground oasis where she or he will be tasked with a quest to restore temples of the Egyptian gods. Each temple will provide a different type of puzzle challenge. Some of them should be well familiar to all puzzle funs, while others were never seen before. They all share some core features and goals, but provide completely different pace and game mechanics.
We also prepared few sound samples for your listening pleasure. The game will put much emphasis on atmosphere and a proper soundtrack is very important here. The game will feature over 25 music tracks and most of the story events and characters will be fully voice-overed.
After a year of being hush-hush about Saqqarah, we've decided it's finally time to tell you a bit about our upcoming major title. And to show you the very first images from the game's introductory sequence.
Saqqarah is our most ambitious project up to date. A mind teasing game with an adventure movie feel to it. As always you can expect extreme polish, top-notch presentation and incredibly fun game play along with some inventions you haven't seen anywhere else. The thing is that Saqqarah will bring even more, much more... much, much more ;). The game will provide rich, varied and very, very lengthy adventure for all those who enjoy relaxing before their screen while teasing their brain cells a bit. It will also look and sound great. We could talk a lot about that, but images will do this much better:
The game is currently in the later stages of its development and we're doing our best to polish and play test it to the fullest. We would love to provide you with the richest experience you ever had playing a casual game and that's not an easy task. We will be releasing more information soon, so stay tuned!
For anybody interested in the game, the website provides a handful of useful information, gameplay screenshots and other extras. But you just better go to www.stoneloops.com and check out for yourself.

StoneLoops gets first reviews!
We've got some pretty awesome news on our latest title - StoneLoops! The game was reviewed by few websites and the reviewers thought it's great. They can't be wrong, can they? ;)
Here are few things they said. Feel free to click the links and read the full reviews.
"StoneLoops! of Jurassica couldn't be more overflowing with surprises. (...) You'll soon see it isn't just an amicable and innovative take on the typical marble-popping formula... Rather unexpectedly, you'll also find it a more than worthy match for even more established industry goliaths like Zuma and Luxor..."
"We make no secret of the fact that there are a few developers out there that we really like (...). Codemenion is definitely one of those studios: a small, scrappy team making handcrafted games that show a real love for the art form of making games..."
"In an increasingly busy market of casual games that all look awfully similar, this is cunningly designed and shows extra effort. It's certainly worth taking advantage of the free hour available..."
The rumble of grinding stones, a dinosaur's roar, meteor showers and cheers of victory - it can only be the official premiere of StoneLoops!
We're proud to announce that our latest game has finally arrived! StoneLoops! is an unbelievably dynamic and colorful puzzle-arcade game, packed with dozens of handcrafted levels, constant action and... pterodactyls! We are sure that the will bring you lots of fun!
We've got great news for all those who love Magic Match! The latest entry in the series - Magic Match Adventures - was just released by Oberon Media. And more, it's a really nice game :)!
It's a great feeling for us to see a sequel of our game coming out now and still being as fun as the first Magic Match. So if you want something to play, while you wait for our upcoming games, check Magic Match Adventures out. It's more than worth it.
