Torus began developing their first game in 1994, a
Game Boy and
Game Gear game based on the film
Stargate, published by
Acclaim Entertainment. Torus has a single, scalable cross-platform
game engine. The Torus game engine runs on consoles, handhelds (including those without
floating point support) and mobile phones, and their unified asset pipeline allows Torus to deliver the same game from the same common code-base across all hardware platforms. Torus Games also use the
Unreal and
Unity engines, depending on the type of project they are developing. In 2015, Torus Games were awarded the
Disney Developer of the Year Award for their efforts on Disney's
Imagicademy initiative. They also launched their first original iOS and Android game,
Crystal Crusade, followed by
Flipper Fox and
Heidi Price and the Orient Express in 2016. In the late 2010s, the company partnered with
Monash University to develop an educational tool assisting children with reduced attention spans. Project TALI has scope to become a screening tool, allowing for the possibility of earlier cognitive training for children with learning difficulties. In March 2024, it was reported that the company had been "effectively shuttered" with no projects in the pipeline and no employees except for McIntosh left. == Games ==
