Sci-fi action puzzler Droidscape: Basilica released for iOS, has stop-motion animation and experimental "HeadTwister" controls
Sci-Fi Action Puzzle Game Droidscape: Basilica Out Now for iPhone / iPad
Stop-motion animation and revolutionary "HeadTwister" controls set this indie game apart
LONDON - July 30, 2013 - Indie developer Kyttaro Games makes their App Store debut today with Droidscape: Basilica, a carefully crafted action-puzzle game more than a year in the making. This sprawling sci-fi puzzler features 60 challenging levels, clay-modeled characters animated with stop-motion technology, intuitive touch controls, and an optional "HeadTwister" mode that turns the gameplay hands-free. The game can be downloaded worldwide from the App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/app/droidscape-basilica/id586086388
The year is 4057, and a power-hungry Ecclesiarchy has plunged humanity into a new Dark Ages. One of few remaining Chronomancers dedicated to preserving the secrets of time-travel has been taken hostage on the gargantuan Basilica space station, and if he dies, an already dark world will get a lot darker. Only a small, unarmed droid named Bishop 7 can save him -- and only with your help.
In each of Droidscape: Basilica's 60 two-stage puzzle levels, players use strategy to plot Bishop 7's course around roaming enemy droids to pick up gems, recharge at power stations, unlock doors, and reach the exit. Then, using either simple finger swipes or the revolutionary HeadTwister controls, manipulate time to carefully guide the droid through the course without crossing the enemy's path. As you travel deeper into the massive space station, Droidscape's electropunk sci-fi world comes to life via stop-motion animation, futuristic music and sound effects, and a vast backstory presented in interstitial scenes between levels.
Still in its experimental stages, Kyttaro's HeadTwister technology uses the front-facing camera of newer model iOS devices to replace a flick of the finger with a shake of the head. In this mode, players send Bishop 7 along the plotted course by turning their head right to step forward, or left to step back. The developers plan to refine the technology based on player feedback, with the ultimate goal of developing fully head-controlled games in the future. For those with older devices or who prefer a more tactile experience, the game is also completely touch enabled.
Droidscape: Basilica is a Universal App playable on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. It sells for USD $1.99 (or its equivalent in local currency) and is on sale for USD $0.99 during the first week. The game's HeadTwister mode can be experienced on iPad 2 and up, iPhone 4S and up, or iPod touch 5.

klutzGames Releases Free2Play Shoot-Em-Up Teslapunk for iOS and Android
BERLIN, GERMANY – July 29, 2013 – klutzGames today released their new retro style arcade shoot-em-up “Teslapunk” on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Teslapunk combines astonishing visuals from award winning artist Thorsten Fleisch with action packed and addictive game play. It takes you to a dark retro-future with high-voltage powered vintage machines. As Nikola Tesla you have to defeat Dr. Mabuse who is invading our planet to install an empire of crime.
Teslapunk comes with two game modes. In arcade you play through different levels, dodging bullets, killing enemies with your laser and occasionally canceling bullets with a feature called Voltage Burst. Canceling bullets raises the multiplier and thus the score. But beware, it also raises the difficulty. Epic boss battles await you. In survival you have to fight endless attack waves, collecting coins and power ups on your way. You can equip and level up your ship to be more effective.
Teslapunk is free2play and available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch at the App Store and for Android at Google Play. It will also be available for Windows Phone 7.5/8 within a few days. A Facebook Browser and an Ouya Version are currently under development and can be expected in a couple of weeks.

Indie Game Review - "Baby Race" (Android)
Designing a game specifically for 1-4 year-olds must be a pretty daunting prospect, but Italian indie dev Fabio Bassan has done a pretty good job with Baby Race. The game is split into two sections - car customisation and the race itself. In the first you can change your vehicle type, colour, wheels, decals and suchlike - my little girl (two and a half) probably had more fun with this bit. I suspect that the older your child gets, the more they will like the race itself.
You get an opponent car, and every so often an icon will appear above them - pressing them will usually help one or the other of you. They are usually logical (ie a rocket will speed you up) but sometimes the effect appears to be a little random. If you win, you get a nice congratulations screen and applause. If you lose... you get exactly the same - you can't actually "lose" as such, so your child is unlikely to get upset with it. My little one has started to understand the concept of racing, but not particularly winning or losing, so this kind of game concept is just right for her. She can enjoy it without getting upset if she loses!
With different scenarios and bright, colourful graphics, along with no advertising, this proved to be a game that my little one played with happily for a few minutes and would come back to - which at that age is about as much as you can really expect. She would probably have enjoyed it more but my Android's screen is small (and cracked - need to get it fixed but that's pretty expensive :-/).
Baby Race is available for Android at the GogglePlay Store, and is also available for iOS devices at iTunes.

Announcing narrative romance game Everlove -- coming soon to iOS / Android / PC / Mac (will be shown at Casual Connect)
Introducing Everlove, A Narrative Romance Game Coming to iOS and Android in August
Developed by Silicon Sisters, creators of games "by women, for women," Everlove is an interactive guilty pleasure for fans of romance novels
VANCOUVER, B.C. - July 24, 2013 - Female-focused development studio Silicon Sisters Interactive is pulling back the curtain on their next project: Everlove, a casual game designed to appeal to the more than 74 million people who read romance fiction each year. An interactive narrative that plays like a romance novel brought to life, Everlove will release for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Android in August with versions for PC and Mac to follow. The studio's co-founder and CEO Brenda Bailey Gershkovitch will show the game for the first time at next week's Casual Connect conference in San Francisco.
In the book industry, romance is a hugely popular genre that yielded sales of $1.438 billion in 2012, according to the Romance Writers of America (http://www.rwa.org) -- more than mystery and sci-fi/fantasy novels combined. Romance readers are 91% women, the majority between ages 30-54. This demographic intersects perfectly with the predominantly female audience of casual games.
"Look at the splash Fifty Shades of Grey made last year. Romance fiction has a huge audience that no one else in the game industry is trying to reach," says Brenda Bailey Gershkovitch. "Video games traditionally explore male fantasies: winning a fight, competing in sports, saving the princess. We at Silicon Sisters love some of those games, as do plenty of other women. But a game that specifically delves into female fantasies -- what is that game like? That's a question we're trying to answer with Everlove."
With a focus on storytelling, character interaction, and lite HOG elements, Everlove puts players in the shoes of a young woman named Rose who has turned to past-life regression to gain insight into her personal problems. Under hypnosis, Rose is transported to the pastoral village of Heart's Home, where she soon discovers that she has chemistry with several of the locals. While building relationships, uncovering carefully guarded secrets, and navigating personal dramas, players define Rose's character and choose her path, with the game's outcome reflecting on the very issues that the modern-day protagonist wants to resolve.
Silicon Sisters' portfolio includes two School 26 games for teen and tween girls, which have had approximately 700k downloads in more than 30 countries. Everlove will be the studio's first game for adult women.
Today Silicon Sisters launched an Everlove Facebook page, where they plan to post more game details and assets leading up to the game's August release: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Everlove/416015075132982

Gnomic Studios takes its Square Avengers to PAX AU
PERTH, Western Australia – July 18 2013 –
GNOMIC STUDIOS touches down in Melbourne this weekend, awarded one of only twenty sponsored indie booths at Australia’s inaugural Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2013.
The Perth-based developers will showcase their comic arena shooter ‘Square Off’ at the sold-out PAX convention. Nominated this month for a WA Screen Award in the ‘Best Game’ category for 2013, the Windows Phone version of ‘Square Off’ has just reached 1 million downloads.
‘Square Off’ was originally released for Xbox Live Indie Games in 2009, when it was selected as one of Dream.Build.Play’s Top 20 games. It will be exhibited at PAX running on Windows Phone as well as on the recently launched OUYA console, which Gnomic Studios backed via Kickstarter in 2012.
In addition to exhibiting ‘Square Off’, lead developer Aranda Morrison says Gnomic Studios will unveil a pre-alpha build of the game’s much anticipated follow-up, ‘Square Heroes’.
“'Square Heroes' will feature online networking capabilities, as requested by 'Square Off' fans, as well as a more compelling narrative and, eventually, several new weapons,” Morrison said. “Expect some surprises.”
The 34-year-old designer says Gnomic Studios is excited to be participating in PAX, a games convention that started in Washington in 2004 before expanding to other US cities in 2010: “Melbourne is the first city outside of the US to host a PAX convention, and it’s great to be part of that.”
According to the PAX website, “the shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America, and for the first time PAX is expanding internationally for its inaugural Australian show!”
Morrison says Gnomic Studios used the crossplatform open-source MonoGame framework for their ports. “MonoGame is a rapidly evolving product and looks set to replace Microsoft’s XNA on future Microsoft platforms,” he said. “Using an open-source framework was a risk, but MonoGame has been amazing. It’s allowed us to reuse our Xbox and Windows Phone code to successfully port to the OUYA console as well as a large range of iOS and Android devices. I’ve joined the MonoGame development team and it’s been nice to contribute some improvements back to the community during the development process.”
Android and iOS versions of ‘Square Off’ will be released later in 2013, while Gnomic Studios aims to release ‘Square Heroes’ in early 2014.
For more information, contact Gnomic Studios at , and subscribe to the Gnomic Studios mailing list at http://www.gnomicstudios.com/squareoff/sosubscribe.html.

|
|
Independent game developer Tactic Studios is pleased to release a first look of their story-driven online RPG, Immortal Empire. The immersive game offers a deep and compelling storyline alongside challenging tactical combat. Players can choose from co-op, single player, or versus mode against their friends. Immortal Empire offers the option to compete on a variety of ladder systems in both PvP or PvE.
Players control a party of up to five unique immortals as they set out on a quest through Alvedor in this strategic, multiplayer RPG. Players have the ability to enchant powerful items, customize their hand picked immortals, and make tactical moves to defeat their enemies.
Immortal Empire's unique gameplay is comparable to a cross-breed between X-Com and Dota. Each immortal wields a different set of powerful spells that, when used together, create interesting synergies that demand ultimate skill in tactics to succeed.
This captivating, turn-based gameplay is presented alongside a large, conversation-style storyline arc that has players encountering numerous NPCs; from good, to evil, to humorous. Selecting certain answers during dialog gives unique attributes to the characters and alters the storyline.
The multiplayer component allows drop-in 4 player co-op, each player commanding up to five immortals in a party. Players can choose to work together or combat each other in versus mode. Opponents can choose 1v1 or 2v2 live versus mode to push their strategic skills to the limit. Have no friends? We're sorry to hear that. But don’t worry, our automatic matchmaking system will pair players with others of similar skill level. Players can climb the ladder system, earning a higher rank and proving their worth amongst friends.

Immortal Empire is currently playable and can be accessed through multiple portals, including Kongregate and the Tactic Studios website. The game can be played on any Java enabled web-browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome.

Announcing Collectems, New Monster-Collecting RPG
Verona, NY -- July 12, 2013 -- Today, indie game studio The Layabouts formally announced Collectems, a monster-collecting RPG. The goal of the project is to combine influences from classic RPGs with modern roguelike elements and a focus on player choice, exploration, atmosphere, and replayability.
Assuming the role of an adolescent in the relatively isolated Tamota Peninsula, players venture into a land where strange mutant creatures called Collectems have ravaged the natural ecosystem. Taken in as anything from household pets and workplace assistants to biological weapons of mass destruction, they captured the hearts of millions, becoming a full-blown culture-defining phenomenon. A fire at their father’s business, coupled with his mysterious disappearance, leaves the player responsible for a lifetime’s worth of debt. In order to pay back what is owed and rebuild the company, they set out into the world, using the unique capabilities of their Collectems to earn a profit.
Features:
- Explore a variety of interesting locales in the order of your choosing, charting a path across this non-linear landscape.
- Discover various different Collectem species of multiple types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
- Enjoy a randomized experience each playthrough, where the layout of the environments and the location of different species, opponents, & loot are different every time.
- Battle a team of carefully trained Collectems in strategic turn-based battles, where death is permanent and planning is key.
- Allow your fallen Collectems to live on by infusing their DNA with those still alive, passing on moves, traits, and abilities.
- Shape the strategy of your business as you see fit over the course of the adventure, investing money earned from battles to build new Collectem-enhancing facilities.
- Customizable difficulty options allow you to differentiate individual runs through the game.
Collectems is being actively developed for PC, Mac, and Linux, with PlayStation Vita also being targeted. No plans for availability, release date, or additional platforms have been finalized at this time.
Further details about Collectems can be found at the official project website,collectemsgame.com. For any additional inquiry, visit The Layabouts atwearethelayabouts.com for contact information.
