We spent the last two weeks fixing up this little game. Now we finally feel ready to release Telewalker upon the world!
Click to play (requires Unity web player)
The goal is to reach the end of the level as quickly as possible. The controls are explained along the way, so plug in your Xbox 360 pad or Playstation 3 controller and play! Both PC and Mac should be supported but we have not been able to test the PS3 controller under Mac very much yet.
- PC 360: Use the official driver
- PC PS3: Use this unofficial driver
- Mac 360: Use this unofficial driver
- Mac PS3: Plug-n-play on Leopard and forward (shoulder buttons not supported at time of writing, will fix this ASAP). Try bluetooth first.
Oh, and if you reach the goal fast enough you may get to put your name on the highscore list!

Development background
The project leader for this game was Jacob. The rest of the team fooled around in Unity for two three weeks. No set roles in such a small project. :)
The gameplay was inspired by Jacob’s unreleased game GunFlyer and his general love for twin stick control schemes.
The development of this game ran much smoother than our first thanks to more experience with Unity. Unity’s physics system (based on PhysX) was especially fun to work with. However, implementing joypad controls turned out to be a real hassle as there is no standard mapping between different joypads or operating system.
We’re pretty happy with this game, and hope we get feedback from this release to improve it even more in the future. So please, don’t hesitate to leave comments! :D
Finally, a friendly reminder to all you gamepad haters out there: we’ve got you covered with the other version of Telewalker…
