After several weeks of entries, one Raskulls design has emerged as the winner, which will be converted into a 3D model and playable in the final Xbox Live Arcade release of Raskulls! The champion is none other than Police, which was flawlessly constructed with all elements of design working perfectly. A simple concept tailored exceptionally well to the Raskulls formula, the entry became a clear favorite within the Halfbrick studio. The artist behind it all is Jamie Cartwright, a 20 year old UK resident.
Congratulations Jamie! His prize is the immortalization of his design in the final XBLA release of Raskulls as a playable character. He also receives a free copy of the game upon its release, along with a limited edition King figurine and Halfbrick T-shirt. The two runner-up designs also receive a free copy of Raskulls and the bundle of merchandise. Click through to the main article to see the runner-up winners!
The King is no longer the only Raskull to be immortalized in the ever-awesome medium of video. Today marks the release of the very first official Raskulls trailer! Just press play on the video below to check out a first glimpse of the intense platforming action in both single and multiplayer modes. Raskulls will be a fun, polished and addictive title for Xbox Live Arcade when it is released later this year!
The very first trailer for Raskulls has now been released. Sure, we're just teasing you with some funny funny jokes and our friend King strutting his stuff, but it's very important for gamers to understand just how awesome he is. Enjoy the teaser and stay tuned for more details to come!
We've always thought that our core Raskulls design has unlimited possibilities for creating awesome characters. After all, skeletons are the very basis of human existence, and Raskulls are the very basis of awesomeness. So why restrict the fun of creating Raskulls to just a few people? That would be downright nutty.
Today Halfbrick is proud to announce the Design a Raskull Competition! We are making the call for all fans from around the world to submit their best design and send it to the Halfbrick team. Entries will be judged on originality, creativity and humor.
Our Raskulls team will take the winning design, work it into a 3D model and include the character in the final game on Xbox Live Arcade along with full artist credit!

The second game in the casual “Halfbrick Fridays” series is available for download on the Xbox Live Community Games service for 200 Microsoft Points!
The general goal of Halfbrick Echoes is collecting crystals to complete each level, but the twist involves the enemies you will encounter. After collecting each crystal, an Echo will spawn which is a translucent version of the player icon (represented by a hat from a top-down viewpoint). Echoes will walk the same path the player walked, and with more and more filling the level, collecting the elusive crystals becomes an even greater challenge.
