Games

Large Animal has developed client games and also produced its own titles. The more notable releases are:

* "AlphaQueue"
* "Fashion Solitaire"
* "RocketBowl"
* "Snapshot Adventures"
* "TeamUP"
* "Unipong"
* "Bricktopia"

Large Animal currently develops Flash based widget games called Playwidgets and has a collection of web versions of its PC games. Some web versions are limited releases of the regular games, while others are modified to work in a web browser.

CAS Framework

Create and Share Framework is currently under development. This framework is designed to support a variety of games, created in Flash, that allow for the player to create their own game objects. Once a game object is created the player can use it in the game right away, send it to a friend via email, and submit it to the public gallery for other players of the game to use. CAS will provide some resources like server and database access to encourage 3rd party development.

The current iteration of CAS power Large Animal's Playwidgets, which also serve as a testbed for the framework.
