K-Z: Hey Sam! How did you become a performer in Marvel Universe LIVE? S: I first heard of Marvel Universe LIVE! when a training buddy landed a role in the early stages of the show. I thought it was incredible that this show existed, and it stayed in the back of my mind. In 2015, I saw auditions for the show were being held 20 minutes from where I worked so, on a whim, I decided to give it a chance. The audition lasted for about four hours and we went over basic acrobatics, martial arts skills, special skills and also fight choreography. It gave a glimpse of the show and how we measured up to that standard. FAVE PART OF THE SHOW S: My favourite parts of the show…

SKETCHY SKETCHES There are 126 Sketchbook Pages to be found in Concrete Genie. The Pages aren’t marked on the map. Ouch! This epic count includes 60 Features, 48 Designs and 18 Genies. Check garbage cans and rooftops for a bunch of ‘em. You’ll also need to chase some down. Pro tip: Designs are usually nearby when you need them most. BACKTRACK BILLBOARDS The Concrete Genie map marks all five Billboards for completionists. Despite this, leave ’em until after the game. It’s easier to do once you have all of the specific Designs (48 in total) to match their shape perfectly. DREAMY GENIES Genie Moment Sketches are trickier than the Billboards, because they are not marked on the map. There’s also 20 of them! You can totes blitz past ’em because,…

What word means deer, money, a paste that makes bread, a grunt and a musical note? D’ohn’t you know it’s ‘dough’! In Bake ’n Switch, you’re on the money if you guessed the dough we’re dealing with is the bread kind. Bready or not, let’s get cookin’. Bake ’n Switch is kinda Overcooked, and there aren’t any fancy cookbooks required to understand this gameplay recipe. Chase down the small balls of dough, catch those adorable precooked critters and then bake ’em up. Make sure to watch out for any of the maleficent mouldy spores. You have to stop them from infecting the dough if you want to score big. Combo more dough for bigger buns. You’re baking against the ticking clock in this cook off. Team up with kitchen-hand mates…

What exactly is a Kakarot? Dragon Ball fans speak the lingo, but here is the sitch. ‘Kakarot’ is Goku’s Saiyan name, Goku is the main character in Dragon Ball, and Saiyan is an alien race in this universe. Hmm. This is all getting a bit more confusing. Oops! OK, OK. Let’s simplify. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is all about the epic slugfests. Imagine a big bash league (without bats and balls) between Superman and Captain Marvel. Now you get just how massive these brawls can be. Fans and fresh-faced fighters will love that this tells the anime story from the start – so no previous viewing is necessary. Roam the land and jump into a few larger than life throwdown showdowns. You will be throwing punches that smack foes right…

ON WHERE? Onward takes place in a suburban world where magical creatures like elves, dragons, unicorns, trolls, centaurs, gnomes, sprites, goblins, mermaids and fairies live among grocery stores, lawn mowers and garbage trucks. Despite the magical population, real magic has vanished. Magic wasn’t very easy to master, so everyone eventually turned to using modern technology and scientific advancements. Now, real magic may only be a thing of the past... UH OH… Elf brothers Ian and Barley lost their father when they were young, but Ian receives a special gift on his 16th birthday – a staff and a spell that magically conjures their dad for one day. However, the spell goes wrong and they only conjure half of him – his legs, complete with signature purple socks. Yep, things are…

NEW SEASON, NEW PROBLEMS The Robinson family are in for more danger and adventure in the second season of Lost In Space! Their ship is stuck on a mysterious ocean planet and the Robot is missing. Everyone quickly discovers things aren’t what they seem, and threats start emerging as the family search for the key to finding the Robot, and safe passage to Alpha Centauri. SPACE TRAVEL M: Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved space travel. When I first walked into the world of Lost in Space, all I wanted to do was try on my spacesuit. I live in Chicago and I love it there, but I would definitely go into space, just like my character. ROBO-BUDS M: When I heard I was getting a robot best friend,…

BEHIND THE SCENES The K-Zone Lab is a top secret underground research institute below K-Zone HQ. Very few can enter the premises, and even fewer can escape it. The dedicated team of scientists work tirelessly, undertaking unique research or perfecting daring creations. Some projects have been a huge success, others... not so much. The team is lead by Dr. Eyevile G. Enius, whose speciality is goo-based creations. He is the only K-Zone scientist that has managed to avoid being involved in an accident at the lab... so far. MONKEY MADNESS Dr. Mon Keye is one of the most promising scientists of her time. The doctor was attempting to genetically alter bananas, in order to make them grow twice as large at twice the speed. She was on the verge of…

DRIVERLESS TO IMPRESS! Meet the M19-D! This is Australia’s first student-built, fully autonomous race car, created by students from Monash University’s Monash Motorsport team. Monash Motorsport first began development on the M19-D in 2016, with over 200 undergraduate students working on the project. The talented team designed and built its innovative and high-performance features. The car is able to detect the racetrack and perceive the environment in real time, and has an advanced laser scanner (or LiDAR unit), as well as a GPS unit that can locate the race car within a 10cm radius. The M19-D also has an electric powertrain with more than 1000km of track testing, and a stereoscopic camera system that can perceive distance similar to the human eye using AI. Competing since 2000, Monash is second…

K-Z : What was the original idea for Minecraft Earth? T: There was this dream of Minecraft in the real world, but an inability to execute on a broad scale. We built a lot of prototypes but it just didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel authentic. K-Z: Why’s that? T: A lot of the original ideas were just bad, so we had to throw them out. Things didn’t work. The second prototype, which had everything in it – crafting, health, meeting, adventures, building – was being played by the whole team over a year ago. K-Z: Lucky! How did that go? T: That actually taught us a lot. The first person to find resources to build a diamond pickaxe got a big box of LEGO to take home. K-Z: That…

SECRET TONIC There’s a tonic stashed away in Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair’s overworld. Head to the lake in the area near Chapters 12 and 13. Find the red fire berry bush. Below it, there’s a wooden fence. Buddy Slam the right fence post to nab the tonic! Now you’ve got the Gritty Comic FX filter. ROYAL GOOSE Once you’ve done everything, there’s one more task in Untitled Goose Game. Pull on and flip the big ribbon-wrapped present on the rock at home, until a crown falls out. Drag it to the newspaper guy wearing slippers. Move into a corner so he can trap you. He’ll pop the crown on your noggin! INFINITE LIVES This sneaky tip for New Super Lucky’s Tale works in the original Super Lucky’s Tale, too!…

Critters that are stacks smaller than us are supes scary when you’re the same size. In Grounded, you’ll shrink to be even smaller than a toy. We’re talking as tiny as Ant-Man, except you won’t be able to grow back to normal human size! You will quickly find that without Scott Lang’s super suit, tons of teeny tiny things can be terrible, towering threats. With all of that in mind, the backyard is now a battlefield. Start off by sniffing around the dirt roads to find the right resources. Thirsty? Easy fix. Slurp some delicious dew off a blade of grass. For the fighting stuff, you’ll need armour. Nab a nearby nutshell to use as armour. That will definitely help against armies of ants and tricky spider boss battles. You’ll…

This forest is out to getcha, which is why we’re thankful Ori is up to the task. There are many more baddies than trees in Ori and the Will of the Wisps! It’s a good thing the devs have made fighting a bigger focus in this sweet sequel. Plus, Ori has the right fighting spirit. Pepper your foes with arrows from range with Spirit Arc, slash away with Spirit Edge, or just embrace the power of Spirit Smash for heavy hammer attacks. All those tiny terrors won’t know what hit ’em! Of course, we aren’t forgetting the towering bosses. There’s a man-sized spider that will haunt our dreams, a very freaky wolf, a molten-mouthed worm, a fast-moving flying freak and a tentacled monster from the deep. It’s not all about…

Balin, NZ This is a level in Geometry Dash that took me three weeks to make. It is really long and has cool effects and music. Stefan, Qld I made this amazing bridge in Minecraft! It is a replica of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It took me two days. Ethan, NSW I made this game called ‘Comet’ using Scratch. You dodge asteroids, collect coins and grab power ups! There are lots of skins and jetpacks as well as upgrades. Lexi, NSW This is my Periodic Table in Minecraft: Education Edition! It took an hour and a half because I labelled it all on the back! GET YOUR BUILD ON THIS PAGE! Congrats to this month’s ScreenSpace artists! You’ve scored a copy of Elastic Island Adventures: Port Mugaloo! We Want YOU!…

ROCK Black, grey and all the shades between are the favourites of these guitar-loving rebels. You can always spot a rock fan in a crowd, whether it’s those super wild hairstyles or stacks of spiked accessories. A rock fan usually enjoys hearing their tunes at an ear-blistering volume. COUNTRY What floats a country music lover's boat? It's all about ballads from the heart and the twang of an acoustic guitar! Some peeps love songs about rebellion or candy, but these fans prefer hay bales and tractors. Cutting a rug is great and all, but have you ever danced in a line? HIP-HOP Hip-hop fans can usually be found listening to slick rhymes over groovy beats – if they aren't busy creating their own tracks. Ultimately poets at heart, some creators…

HYPER BOUNCE KICKS Roller shoes are good and all, but what we really want to see in the next few years are feet mattresses that get serious air. Think about this: what if your sole soothers could bounce like a super bounce ball? Not only would your volleyball game up its ante, but slam-dunks would be as regular as the school bell. It may run parkour lovers out of business, but that’s a risk we’re willing to take. Before you know it, you could be saving cats from trees and be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! HOUSEHOLD 3D PRINTERS There's no doubt that 3D printers have improved over the years. These machines have gone from producing small (but cool) objects to now creating everything from helmets…

With so many rad games to play, it’s hard to find time to get bored IRL. In Drake Hollow, the main character feels bored until she meets a strange crow with green eyes and a compass around its neck. What? Obviously, she follows the crow when it flies away, and then teleports to another world – as you do. It’s time to say hello to the Hollow. This funky-fresh place is packed with little vegetable villagers called Drakes. They are all walking, talking and laughing vegetable people. They aren’t bright, but they do need your help with the Hollow’s blight. Thankfully, they don’t bite! Unfortunately the baddies in the game do, and they have a taste for the herbal heroes too. All of the foul foes seem built for veggie…

Hey Game Ninja, Can you give me some tips for playing as Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? He’s my favourite character, but I want to be able to beat my friends, and they are good. MASON, VIA EMAIL Focus on quickly flowing between dishing out damage on the ground and in aerial attacks. Use aerial attacks to stop enemies from getting back on the stage. Take advantage of Meta Knight’s low short hops, speedy fast fall, and midair jumps to dodge damage. Use down tilt attacks (attacks + stick movements while crouching) and dashes for combos. Hi Game Ninja, Do you have any tips for Rocket League? ZEKE, VIA EMAIL Here are some 1v1 tips. Hit the boost pads in the face-off at the start of the round.…
