<p>The Gene Simmons Axe Guitar features &#8216;ultra-responsive frets&#8217; and an &#8216;analog whammy bar&#8217; but fuck all that &#8211; this is a guitar <em>shaped like a battleaxe</em> as used by the guy from <em>Kiss</em> with the tongue and the big face who was in that film with Magnum and the killer robots. You know the one.</p>
<p>This beauty is compatible with Rock Band and Guitar Hero and seems to feature Simmons&#8217; signature as well as a representation of his greasepainted mug, so one would assume it is an official Simmons Product. Santa, I hope you are reading this and can take a hint.</p>

The game involves protecting sea sponges along the sides of the table from the one-eyed boss in the centre by shooting at it, using a deflection paddle to defend the sponges from the boss attacks as well as other players&#8217; missed shots. Thomas Miksa, one of the students involved, sent us this video, along with a bit of explanation.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>We believe that multi-touch will be everywhere in a few years, already seeing it now with Jeff Han&#8217;s Perceptive Pixel, Microsoft&#8217;s Surface, and the iPhone. When the multi-touch platform develops further and end in the hands of more consumers, they would want to play games on it. Oculusia is one exciting example of how these can be designed and implemented.</p>
</blockquote>
<p> In case creating the game wasn&#8217;t enough of an achievement, Thomas notes that they also built the table itself. Damn fine work gentlemen!</p>
