]]> 09 Feb 2007 01:12:59 Axion This is a DEMO/Prototype!
It is very much unfinished. There is only one level and after you beat the boss it will go back to the title screen.

Axion is a 4 colour (greyscale) shoot'em up made for the Retro Remakes 4-colour TI calculator style competition.

Story

Thousands of years ago the Atlantians built a huge inter-dimensional portal with the intent of trapping a huge foe inside. The portal worked perfectly, but at the last minute the huge beast was able to pull their entire city in with it. Knowing the they were unable to save the city and that the beast would eventually be able to break free without anyone able to watch over it, they sent out their last hope, Axion.

Axion was a specially designed craft known as a "Dimension diver" which made it the only man-made creation that was able to seemlesly escape the pull of the triangular portal.

Thousands of years later after absorbing much of its surroundings including people, ships and planes, the beast was able to take control of its own prision, although it was still not quite powerful enough to escape entirely. Using all the energy it had absorbed over the many years, the beast took control of the portal and projected it into outer space using mankind's own orbiting satillites. The portal was now 50 times its original size, big enough to engulf the entire planet...and this was the plan. If the beast could absorb the entire planet, then it would have enough energy to break free from its Atlantian prision.

After detecting the huge power surge, Axion emerged out of the ocean and blasted off into outer space to stop the beast before it was too late.

    ]]>     09 Mar 2007 11:31:26     RoidRage WIP Asteroids inspired vector style title.

    When learning a new system the first thing you do is remake a classic. When I wanted to do hardware accelerated glowy vectors I turned to one of the greatest (and also most remade) games of them all asteroids.

    RoidRage isn't going to be a clone of asteroids but a game in the style of asteroids, with powerups and more enemy types for starters.

    Currently undergoing development.
    ]]>     27 Feb 2007 11:02:32     Atic Atac This is a brand new version of Atic Atac. Gameplay wise, it's very close to the original, but with a few extra bells, whistles and that sort of thing. Graphics, sound and music have been enhanced in true remakes fashion.

    ]]>     03 Mar 2007 07:10:17     Natto-Cat Natto-Cat is a unique, cute but violent Boulderdash style arcade game. You play as cyborg cat RB51, exploring underground caves and collecting cat snacks.

    Dangers include falling dried plums and walking, exploding bowls of custard. Furthermore, some cat snacks have been force-fed to cave rabbits, who also explode! And keep an eye out for expanding green peas, which can quickly fill a cave or block the exit...

    When enemies explode, blood (or custard) splatters on nearby objects... so the game is a bit violent.

    A cave editor is also included so you can make your own caves.
    ]]>     05 Mar 2007 07:19:28     Crush the Critters
  • NOTE: This game is still in development. For news on what's going on, check out the game's home page or the official blog.*

    • Crush the Critters is a game of whack-a-mole for your feet (using the dance pad), your mouse or your keyboard (you cheater!).

    The first beta is live!

    The game has entered the first beta, which is just the Classic Mode. Some graphics still need polishing up, the sounds aren't complete, but that's what these early betas are for :) The game works, and will at least give you an idea of what's coming. Also please note that the game is more or less for kids, particularly at this stage without the humor of Adventure mode. Also please note that the game is shrunken quite a bit because of the size of the webpage! For full size play and to become an official beta tester, go to http://www.hedonismgames.com/beta/index.html

    Instructions

    Click the critters as they come out before they can hide again! You can also use keyboard keys, although it makes the game much easier. They are (corresponding to the screen squares)

    Q W E
    A ~ D (there is no middle here)
    Z X C

    A Foot-Tastic Adventure!

    As the resident Critter Stomper, your hometown has been overcome by the imminent threat of an onslaught of cute critters! It's up to you, moving from your own town, through numerous locales and ultimately into outer space to stop the critters!

    Using the typical dance pad 3x3 grid (with the exception of the middle square, of course), the player must stomp on critters as they appear on the screen.

    In classic RPG sense, collect equipment (shoes, socks, shoe laces and aglets - you know, those little things that cap the end of your shoe laces?), level up and collect money through bounties and successful missions crushing the cute-but-monstrous critters.

    Play is best with the dance pad, although the entire game can also be played with the mouse (great for Wii players) or the keyboard.

    Classic Mode

    Classic mode is just like in the arcades! Play a quick round, choosing where to crush the critters, which ones to crush, how long to play and the difficulty. When done, collect your tickets, which can be used to purchase bonuses (cheats, artwork, etc.) or printable rewards!

    Awwwww... So Cute!

    Crush the Critters has a fantastic artist - Ariel Marsh - who is handling all the great, cartoony style of the game.

    Printable Rewards

    Printable Rewards are one of the greatest things about Crush the Critters! Why just let the game sit when you're done when you can print out all sorts of things, showing off your accomplishments?

    Other Features

    Other great features of the game will include:

    • Unlockable locales (places) and critters for Classic Mode.
    • Playable on the Wii Opera Browser!
    • Cheat Modes and Challenges.

    Help Monty get them back before they get up to too much mischief. It looks like they've already wedged themselves into awkward places, so you're going to need to be nifty in your timing to get them back.

    Get them back in the pram before Mrs Mole notices they've gone.
    ]]>     08 Feb 2007 01:02:32     Jet Set Willy: The Greatest Treasure Of Them All So, you're bored...what else is there to do but go and have a browse through your admittedly immense library and see if there's anything decent to read.

    How fortuitous then that as you open a copy of Big Juggy Monthly a scroll should fall out telling of treasures that no mortal man can appreciate.

    Well, there's nothing on the tele - so Willy gets his hat on and trots off to find the alleged treasure.

    Help guide him on his quest, just make sure you avoid those pesky nasties.

    Use all your cunning to negotiate the floors of the castle and reach the top to get your rumpy pumpy reward. (Last bit may not be even remotely true).
