Lapu-Lapu studio Budots Media releases three free 3D games: boxing, a jeepney race and a city builder

Budots Media, a media and 3D studio based in Lapu-Lapu City, has released three new games that open from a link in a phone or computer browser. They are free and need nothing installed.

The three games

Pacman Boxing puts the player in the ring as Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. The player jabs, hooks and throws uppercuts, slips the opponent's big punches and builds up a "Pacman flurry". There are four fights, from a barangay gym in General Santos to a world title fight in Las Vegas. The studio calls it an unofficial fan game, not endorsed by Pacquiao, and the opponents are fictional.

Jeepney Racer 3D is an endless road for a painted jeepney. The road runs through Cebu City streets, the coast, a long bridge, rice fields and a mountain pass, and turns from day to night. Players pick up passengers for fares and dodge tricycles, buses and cars.

Filipino City Builder: Fix the Mistakes of the Past is a city builder seen from above. Players lay roads and build homes from bahay kubo to condo towers, sari-sari stores, offices and a port, and keep residents housed, employed and happy. As the city grows it unlocks six landmarks of old Cebu, among them Magellan's Cross, the Basilica del Santo Niño and Fort San Pedro, cut from the studio's own 3D model of the old city.

Made for phones

All three games have on-screen touch controls and work in portrait and landscape. Pacman Boxing puts the punch buttons under one thumb and slip and block under the other; in Jeepney Racer 3D the player holds either side of the screen to steer; in the city builder the player taps to build, drags to move around and pinches to zoom.

The studio's other games

The new titles join Budots Media's earlier browser games: Lapu-Lapu: The Battle of Mactan, Isda, Watersports and Freediving Ocean Lab. All are listed on the studio's games page.
