Block Games is an indie game company created by Doug and Larry Murk in 1990.
The goal of Block Games is to create family-friendly fun games.
History
Way back in the early 1980s, Larry came up with a brilliant idea for a puzzle game named Block-Man. Block Man lived in a 2-dimensional side view world. Although the game world only allowed moving blocks to get to an exit, the puzzles were fiendishly hard. Several California companies rejected the game since their game testers could not solve the puzzles, but a small publisher based in NYC named Soleau Software agreed to publish Block-Man. Block Games published several titles under Soleau Software and even had a couple games boxed and distributed through retail stores.
Alas, Doug and Larry took a break from writing games in order to pursue careers that earn real money.
Time marched on and Larry sustained a spinal cord injury leaving him a quadriplegic. Although Larry now has limited use of his arms, he still manages to use the computer fairly well.
Recently, Larry has been an active member of the DROD community. DROD, Deadly Rooms Of Death, is a logic turn-based puzzle game created by an indie company named Caravel Games. In fact, Larry was the lead level designer of their latest release titled 'DROD: The Second Sky'.
Now Doug and Larry are back to game creating and are excited to share their latest game with everyone. After several years of development Block Games is proud to present their new title, 'Jump Teddy'!
