EKC Welcomes Game Developer Gurparm Brar

Eileen Koch & Company is excited to welcome to its client roster entrepreneur and game developer Gurparm Brar. At only 27, Gurparm started his own company and created an application for the iPhone and iTouch-- a game that features two Asian superheroes, Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee, fighting to save the world from a Martian invasion. The game can be purchased for 99 cents, and a portion of the proceeds will go to philanthropic causes. Read more about Gurparm and the new iPhone game in British Columbia's Richmond Review:


Uniting the World, 99 Cents at a Time

Richmond’s Gurparm Brar is hoping to unite the world in a common cause through an iPhone and iPod Touch app he created, and which made its global debut on Tuesday.

Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee vs. the Martians is an old-school scrolling game with a simple premise: Shoot aliens, acquire cash, buy better weapons, rinse and repeat.

The heroes of the game are Mr. Singh from India, and Mr. Lee from China, and the game starts out with Mr. Singh using an Indian roller pin—a common household item used to make naan or roti—to fend off the seemingly endless hordes of towering red Martians invading his country. Look carefully, and there are nods to Jay Leno, Johnny Carson and Kanye West in the characters.

Players will like the simple but colourful graphics and the different ways the aliens go down, including by flamethrower, which melts the giant-headed invaders into an eye-popping black ooze (read more...)
