Story:New adventure game with gawky handymen from the legendary series. "Pat & Mat" is puzzle adventure game for everyone. All settings are based on the popular TV stop-motion series about "Pat & Mat", two handymen. Although the game is fully 3D rendered in real-time, it still keeps the dreamy look of stop-motion movies (characters are modeled in “puppet-style” and animations simulate “stop-motion“ animation process). Player is taking control of both Pat & Mat and solve various tasks by cooperation and help of both characters.and non-typical puzzle solving.Show more

This game's story is kinda tragic, it was really ambitious, the developers worked together with PatMat Studio to make it as authentic to the show as possible. Development began around 2006-2007, and from what I can see from early footage and screenshots, the beta had much more content than the final release. Even if it was more rough around the edges. Around the same time PatMat began producing a new season of Pat & Mat, "Pat & Mat in the Countryside". I imagine due to this development the dev team had to rework or scrap a lot of concepts.
Finally, in 2009 the game released, alongside the premiere of the new season's 1st episode. The game consists of "episodes" which are basically chapters of a story mode. Each episode consists of 1 mission stage and 3 mini-games. The problem is, the game released with only 1 episode! In the main menu you can see an option to install additional content via discs (would've probably been downloadable DLC in the online store release). These discs never released, and therefore the rest of the game went unreleased. As well as planned (possibly in development) DS and Xbox 360 ports.
The developer pretty much abandoned the project, eventually removing it from online stores in 2020. Making this game increasingly hard to obtain legitimately, as physical releases are becoming more scarce. I luckily have a friend who owns a copy and got a full playthrough of it. The gameplay and mechanics are pretty creative, you take control of both Pat and Mat, controlling one at a time. Interacting with items and environment to make steps toward solving a problem. For example, Pat can equip a chainsaw to cut down a fence, then Mat can construct a pull out of the planks with a toolbox.
I would've really liked to see how the developers utilized this in different missions and scenarios, maybe even recreating some episodes from older seasons like (the recent at the time) Pat & Mat Return. I know this game is shallow in content, but it deserves a 2nd chance.
Peggle ExtremeMayday! The Peggle Institute has been invaded by a host of other-worldly creatures. It's up to you, Peggle Master, to report to duty and shoot and bounce the critters to oblivion. Take your best shot with energizing arcade fun, now exclusively themed with art and sounds from The Orange Box.
Peggle Extreme delivers fast-paced puzzle action that combines elements of pinball and pachinko to create a truly unique game experience. As with the original Peggle, Peggle Extreme requires players to fire a metallic silver ball from the top of the screen, relying on gravity to propel the ball downwards while ricocheting off orange and blue "pegs". The goal is to clear all the orange pegs from the screen before running out of balls. A moving "bucket" at the bottom of the screen offers free balls, while green power-up and purple "bonus multiplier" pegs provide additional twists. Peggle Extreme features one power-up in the form of Bjorn the Unicorn, whose special takes the form of a "super-guide" sighting capability which enables players to see where there next shot will go beyond one or two initial bounces.Action Fantasy
