The Playful Whale Trail Theme Song
The playful Whale Trail sees Gruff declaring, “This is a motivational song, let’s all get along!” This has been inspired by the accompanying iPhone and iPad game of the same name designed and developed by usTwo.
I’m on the whale trail,
And I won’t fail whale
Just set sail
With heavy tail to the bottom of the cloudsAnd when I set sail
I won’t tell tales
Without fail
With abigail
To the toppermost of the skyThere ain’t no riots in the sky
Just a riot of colour
That will last forever. -

Zanrai’s Heaven Variant is Looking Sharp
Heaven Variant is a horizontal, non-bullet-hell shoot ‘em up! This is preview of what the team has been up to. It’s still a work-in-progress, so you’ll have to forgive any glitches or hiccups you might notice.
Zanrai is a loveable gaggle of game developers. Right now it’s just a three man team.
Here’s what Zanrai has to say…
HEAVEN VARIANT is an indie side-scrolling action game under development for PC by Zanrai Interactive, a very small band (or rather gang) of developers headquartered in Dallas, Texas, USA. The game is a modernized throwback to the golden age of 2D action games, and the game’s presentation and musical style is heavily influenced by classic shooters and animation of the 1980′s and 90′s. The title will be released digitally. Technical jargon ahead: HEAVEN VARIANT is not a hori bullet hell shooter and with regard to genre sides closer to the arcade/action-shooter from yesteryear. -
