Fanball Available on AT&T 2011 |

Fanball is a casual game played in a simulated indoor arena. Fans in the floor blow hard enough to keep players aloft; its like being in a very large skydiving simulator. Balls fall from the top of the arena. The player scores by touching a ball. A bird tries to block the player from scoring. After the player falls 6 times on a level, the game is over. There are 8 levels with planets and stars as backgrounds, and some additional space objects to catch.

Developed by Kallisto Productions for Vocel, Thomas & Friends is an animated children's storybook. Kallisto rendered a 32 page illustrated book into an attractive and dynamic presentation suitable for viewing on the cell phone. As the story is read aloud by the familiar TV voice, each word is individually highlighted. Kallisto developed a special technique for syncing word highlighting to the audio narration, giving the story its educational quality.
