3D platformer video game

Well, that’s what I’m calling it. we-make-money-not-art is calling it a video game you can play on a sculpture. It’s basically a platformer, played using “standard game controllers,” but with a “screen” that consists of a three-dimensional reification of a Mario-type level. I’m unclear how the images are getting onto the “screen” (a projection?) — and on whether to call it a screen at all. In any case, 3D games ftw! With a video on YouTube. The game, called xBlocks, was developed for the Play Experiences for the Next Generation segment of the Mattel Design Challenge 2005.
