The dumbest sequel ever?

Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games follows the success of the original Dumb Ways to Die campaign and game. Set in a new dumb land, players navigate to uniquely themed arenas by train and compete in a selection of obviously dangerous minigames.

Charting number 1 on the App Store in 86 countries (who's counting) and with well over 100 million downloads, Dumb Ways to Die 2 is easily the most successful game I've worked on in my career. Including the initial release and subsequent updates, I programmed a total of 60 (of the 68) minigames contained in the app.

My other major contribution to Dumb Ways was leading development on the port to Universal Windows Platform.
