Hi everyone!
We are a group of 11 students (split in three groups: Programmers/Level and Game Designers/Artists) from Gamagora game schools in Lyon, France.

After almost three months of development, we would like to present our game before its closure, in order to get any feedback you may have:

Gerridae is an puzzle/action game where you control a "Water strider" (Gerridae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerridae) is in fact its family name) in its journey to the sea.

The game is based on the use and combination of the waves we can create, to solve some puzzles and defeat the enemies.
Gerri has the ability to make both Waves(Circular waves) and Fronts (Directional waves), and using with the ones made by the environment and gameplay objects, it'll break the dams in its way.

Here's a little video on the tutorial level (an old version with some missing materials):

Well! The demo has just arrived!

We've made it as an iso instead of a single exe file due to the patch for language and resolution we needed to include as a n ingame option, if you think you don't need these options, you can always install from the UDKInstall-Gerridae.exe file instead of the setup one

We'll be waiting for your answers!

Gracias! (I'm the Spanish one of the dev team)

Well, last night we presented our game to the public, and we can't be happier! It was a success!

We're very proud of our work, and we'll be posting some more pictures and (once we contact an admin, in case there're some legal issues) we'll be posting our demo as soon as possible!

I honestly could'nt be more prouder of our work... Three months of hard work have just given birth to Gerri, and it has been better than expected: So thanks to everyone else in the team!

And the rest of you, stay tuned to test our demo! We'll be more than thankful for every comment in advance)!!
