Hey! So you may have seen us showing off the video game called levelHead (http://julianoliver.com/levelhead) at our YC booth this year. Here are some tidbits of information to dispel the fog of mystery surrounding the game for you…

• levelHead is a spatial memory game created by Julian Olver.
• All the game needs to run is a cube, a webcam, and a computer.
• The object of levelHead is to navigate through a maze of rooms to an exit door.
• levelHead has won various awards including the “Technical Innovation” award at Indiecade ‘08, the “Jury Reccommended Work, Entertainment Division” at Japan Media Arts Festival ‘08, and the first place prize at Laval Virtual ‘09.
• The game isn’t available in stores but can be downloaded and setup for free.  However, you need to be a master computer ninja warrior to get it to work properly. If you want to try, check out the instructions at the following link: http://selectparks.net/~julian/levelhead/install.

Here is a video of levelHead at our YC booth:
