Play on your own or with a friend with cooperative drop-in / drop-out play available.

Fight witches, werewolves, scary clowns and sea monsters as you explore, discover costumes, talk to friends and suspects, find clues and try to guess the identity of the villain!

Torus is pleased to announce the completion of our DS title, Crystal Mines. A remake of the classic 1989 NES game, Crystal Mines is published by HES and has the player take charge of a remote-controlled robot on a distant planet, mining for gemstones and metals. These cavernous mines aren’t empty – they’re full of exploding rocks, lava, oil, one-way passages, black holes, radioactive waste, deadly underground critters, cave-ins and bedrock which can’t be simply blasted away!

Crystal Mines is to be released in Australia by Christmas 2009.

In 2008, Torus received the prestigious Governor of Victoria Export Award for the Arts & Entertainment category. Film Victoria conducted a follow-up interview with Torus CEO, Bill McIntosh, in June 09.

Torus is proud to announce our original prototype title, Little Monsters.

Starring eight stylized, archetypal monsters such as werewolves, mummies and zombies, this family platform title is based on cooperative, problem-solving game elements in an interactive 3D world. Developed with the assistance of Film Victoria, Little Monsters delivers a rich visual style which contrasts bright colouring with an ambient, spooky world that creates a deliciously eerie - but not overtly sinister - atmosphere.

Torus is currently seeking a publishing partner to bring this game to the world.

Torus Games celebrated its 15 year anniversary in 2009. Torus started in 1994 with the vision of creating an original game based on a character that all the founders were excited about. Shortly after starting, they took on some external projects. Their success and results lead to further projects being offered and they soon found themselves in demand as a quality work-for-hire solution. The big titles came in, new platforms followed, exciting publisher relationships ensued, and the Torus robot was born.

In 15 years Torus has grown to a staff of 65 and developed over 90 titles (see our Games page for further details).

If you'd like to join the Torus team and be a part of the next 15 years please see our Careers section.
