The indie developer Alistair Aitcheson has always had a interesting approach to multiplayer and social games. His previous tablet titles Greedy Bankers and Slamjet Stadium have encouraged two or more players to battle it out on shared touchscreen devices, bringing in a knockabout physical element.
His latest project Tap Happy Sabotage is a party game that uses a large touchscreen monitor, and provides up to eight contestants with a range of quick-reaction mini-games. It has already been a huge hit at the GameCity festival.
Here, Aitcheson speaks to Jordan Erica Webber about his approach to design.
