Newt One Now Playable On Utomik

Newt One Now Playable On Utomik

, , , 0

Utomik, the unlimited PC indie game subscription service, has added a colorful 3D platformer called Newt One to its lineup this week. Created by a two-man crew that calls themselves DevNAri, Newt One casts you in the role of an anthropomorphic musical note wandering through a world that has lost its color. In an upside-down twist from most other platformers, your goal is to generate life, not stomp on it or punch it away. DevNAri feels right at home on Utomik: “We believe subscription based games are the future and Utomik is at the forefront of this revolution. Since our game has a natural appeal to those with a soft spot for classic gaming with a modern aesthetic, Utomik’s users should feel right at home playing Newt One!” Newt One doesn’t have a trailer, but there is a brief review video courtesy of Utomik itself.

Cococucumber is an indie game studio loated in Toronto that’s dedicated to creating “original games with a striking visual style.” Few upcoming games look quite like Riverbond, an action adventure game rendered entirely in the voxel style — think boxes. Lots of boxes. Minecraft is what comes to mind when you see the screenshots, but the gameplay has more in common with Zelda. Your goal is to save the citizens of the city of Riverbond from the monsters now roaming freely. To do this you’ll have to explore both above and below ground, gather hidden items and weapons, and fine-tune your abilities. Now Riverbond is coming to Playstation 4. “Riverbond will be a standout action-adventure game for [the PS4],” declares Vanessa Chia, Co-founder and Art Director at Cococucumber. “This is a family-friendly game for players of all ages, so make a date with your friends or kids and play Riverbond in couch co-op mode for chaotic and fun times.” When can you expect this blocky adventure to arrive on your

Legrand Legacy, the JRPG from developer SemiSoft, has been fully funded on Kickstarter, with the Indie game getting the £40,000 it needed in order to complete its campaign; it had just three days left in order to reach its goal. The Kickstarter campaign came just two months after the original campaign failed to reach the funding required to be successful, even after SemiSoft offered increased incentives to potential backers. Speaking about finishing the Kickstarter campaign, William “Uwil” Winata, lead game designer at SemiSoft, said: “We’re proud of the community that we’ve built during both Kickstarter campaigns for Legrand Legacy. Not only did they show us full support for rebooting the campaign, they’ve returned enforce and have pushed us over the funding line! We now hope achieve some of the stretch goals, that we’ve revealed and look forward to delivering Legrand Legacy to our eager fans. The team and I are now even more motivated, thanks to the funding, press and public reception to our game, to live up to the expectations of true

Poly Bridge Gets Release Date

Poly Bridge Gets Release Date

, , , 0

Dry Cactus’ bridge-building simulator Poly Bridge has been an immense success since launching in Early Access a year ago, helping more than 160,000 would-be engineers put their bridge-building skills-or lack thereof-to the test… in a game, without jeopardizing the lives of innocent people with their totally unsafe bridge designs. Phew. On July 12, the game will emerge from Early Access with way more levels, totally new and improved game modes, enhanced artwork, online leaderboards, thousands of player-created levels, an innovative approach to Twitch streaming integration and more. The game became a runaway hit when it launched on Early Access, thanks in part to its beloved GIF-export feature, allowing players to quickly share replays of their successful or horrendous bridge designs. Since its GIFs exploded in popularity on Reddit and across the web, more than 120,000 player replays have been uploaded. Players have also uploaded more than 7,000 creations to Steam Workshop, greatly extending the already-expansive game. Patrick Corrieri, who created the game, said: “The response to Poly Bridge has been incredible. I

Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians Review

Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians Review

, , , , , , , 0

The gaming industry is currently going through a phase whereby it titles made by independent developers can be almost as successful as those created by established developers on huge budgets. They have grown in popularity thanks to the fact that they don’t have to be constrained by established mechanics and gameplay, instead they focus on trying out new ideas and experimenting. Nowhere is that more evident than with games like Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians, which blends together the platform genre with puzzle and rhythm elements like never before. While many games over the past few years have tried to incorporate some type of rhythm section into them few have made it an integral part of the game.  Beatbuddy does this in a rather unique way though, getting away from things like Guitar Hero and AudioSurf. You play as Beat, a water-based creature, which lives in a world that is seemingly powered by music. All is not well though, as Beat’s two sisters have been kidnapped and so begins a

After somewhat stumbling when the Xbox One was first announced, Microsoft is now establishing itself as a destination for independent developers who want to release their games on home consoles as well as PC. Although the PlayStation 4 has still got much of an advantage in this department, the Xbox One is now getting its own steady stream of indie releases that are both unique and of very high quality. In the past few months games such as #IDARB, Super Time Force, Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians and Submerged have all become available on the console, but where will Asteroid Base’s new multiplayer shooter Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime fit in? To cut a long story short, this title may be one of the best to come through the ID@Xbox program. It excels in almost every aspect and provides a very enjoyable gaming experience that few other games manage to replicate. At its very basic elements, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime is a co-operative shooter and although it may look

Quantum Rush: Champions Review (Xbox One)

Quantum Rush: Champions Review (Xbox One)

Racing games have always been a popular genre in gaming and while simulation and arcade racers have often been the most played, futuristic titles have still had an important part to play. Nintendo has the F-Zero franchise and Sony has the Wipeout series, Microsoft though do not have their own signature futuristic racer leaving Xbox players without too much choice for their racing needs. In fact, fans of all three publishers have had little to cheer about as the last full F-Zero game was released in 2003 for the GameCube while the last Wipeout was Wipeout HD for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. So the fact that GameArt Studio has decided to try their hand at creating a game in the same spiritual mold of those legendary series should be good news. After all, more choice can never be a bad thing, and the Xbox One really only has a limited range of racing titles right now. But just how good is Quantum Rush: Champions and does it live up
