STUDENTS are to launch their own mobile phone game – its hero a janitor battling his way out of a demonically possessed Penwith College.
Pandora's Mop features a hapless caretaker at the St Clare site who accidentally opens Pandora's Box, which in classical legend unleashed all the woes of the world.
Computer games development lecturer David Atkinson-Beaumont said he invited his students to create a real game to enhance their CVs.
"The game is completely original," he said.
"It's the kind of development you'd expect of first-year university students.
"The only thing the students haven't done is the programming, because that's not part of the course, so I've done that, but they've created all the characters, animation, storyline, posters and marketing and the invitations for the launch."
The 3-D game, which to be launched on June 26, will be available to buy via the Google Play online store for Android smartphones.
Each student was placed in a development team and asked to design enemies and environments in one college building to create the game's world.
"For the hair and beauty building they created a lake of leg wax, for the music building there are lots of punks and graffiti and there's also a gym full of dumbbells that need vaulting and a science faculty with giant Bunsen burners," said Mr Atkinson-Beaumont.
