Piece Corps unites its players and characters through unique abilities and crafty problem solving skills to overcome challenging levels of schoolyard madness. Players can also control their own game play by creating new levels and sharing with friends, Facebook and the whole Piece Corps community.

The Piece Corps characters are a group of daring, young girls who protect the powerful "Book of Dreams". Unfortunately, the Evil Scientist has stolen it for his own wicked bidding! So it's up to the Piece Corps to band together using their unique abilities against enemies of all kinds to get the book back safely and save the universe.

"Piece Corps is more than a physics-based mobile game. It empowers imagination and creativity by supplying the tools for players to create their own levels to be shared within a global Piece Corps community," said Joe Doucet. "Also, by leveraging the unique abilities of these diverse characters, we want to show the promise of uniting through differences, to work together to achieve common goals."

Key Features:

Who Are The Piece Corps?

Players can select one of five unique Piece Corps characters: Djane, Bundi, Meana, Deevah, and Martia. Each character possesses three distinctive abilities to help solve complex and challenging levels. Mix and match from more than 125 different character combinations to best tackle each puzzling level. For example, players can use Djane's giant stereo to stun enemies with a blast of music, or protect your chosen character in her pursuit to save the Piece Corps friends with Martia's impenetrable force field.

Quirky Enemies & Allies

The Evil Scientist has enlisted the help of the Wicked Lunch Lady, Foul Janitor, Criminal Coach, and the Malicious Little Hall Monitors to stop the Piece Corps from recovering the "Book of Dreams"!

Finish an entire pack to free and unlock a Piece Corps friend to help you along the journey. Players should also always be on the look out for allies like the Powerful Principal, Special School Nurse, and Cute Crush, who all aid the Piece Corps cause.

Create Levels. Share with the World.

Piece Corps gives players a chance to be a part of the game. Every player is encouraged to put his or her creative juices to work by building customized levels to share with the global Piece Corps community. Every level is a playable work of art, which other players can rate and share as their favorite user-generated level.

Piece Corps will be available for Amazon, Kindle and in the Mac App Store coming soon.
