Exertion Games Lab at Pause Fest

On Wednesday, 9 Nov 2011, the Exertion Games Lab joined Pause Fest, Melbourne’s first Digital Festival, exhibiting Bubble Popper and Hanging off a Bar in Melbourne Central, one of Melbourne’s biggest and finest shopping centres in the heart of the city. By exposing our exertion games to the public we hope to gather feedback while also promoting more beneficial uses of computer games to society. We hope we have inspired viewers, given them a different perspective, and also excite them about what the future in games will hold for them.
