We recorded a short elevator pitch for VenCorps at the Canadian Innovation Exchange, which was posted on YouTube:

Our first game launched (in alpha) last Tuesday, you can find it here: http://apps.facebook.com/blockbust/

The game is an addictive multi-player puzzle game. I spent a crazy cottage weekend in California this summer playing board games (it was less dorky then it sounds), which was the inspiration for our puzzle game: BlockBust.

We’re spreading strictly by word of mouth right now as we work the kinks out of the system. We’d love to hear your feedback! You can e-mail us directly, or join the beta testers group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/edit.php?gid=10339704069

Look out for Blackberry & IPhone versions in the very near future.

Incidentally, our pitch at Startup Camp rocked! Lots of positive feedback, lots of questions about the socialDeck as a platform. We’re working hard to ensure that socialDeck will be a viable platform; to that end our API is completely game-agnostic, and we’re building generic client framework packages for each phone and social network. This means that whipping out new games (or enabling others to do so) should be a cinch.
