My last of several week-long, rapid-prototype projects (AngleBeat, Epic Combo) … yeah, I know… this one is strange too. It’s Treadmillasaurus Rex.

I don’t really know what I was thinking, so I decided to combine a lot of things I like. I like treadmills a lot (see Exit-Path) and I love techno music in games, so it seemed like a clear winner. The T. Rex was probably inspired by a recent viewing of Jurassic Park or something, I am not entirely sure. The game returns a musician I used to use a lot in my games, ZeRo-BaSs. I love his work, he’s got some amazing stuff.
Anyway.
You’re a dinosaur running on a treadmill trying to survive a dance-style torture room with lasers and spike-ball things. Enjoy!

For people still waiting for my Flock (bird tethering) project… yes you are still waiting, my apologies. I keep getting caught up in these smaller projects on my way to completing that one.

I must be game bingeing or something… I have another game. This time it’s Epic Combo!
Epic Combo is a game about making combos. You see, you’re a businessman with a giant hammer. You hit turtles. They fly in the air and hit walls and other obstacles. You earn money from your hit combo and you repeat, buying extra turtles and weapons. Your goal: A combo of 10k.
I promised myself I wouldn’t make another animal-based game next but it was hard to resist. I really love turtles too, as much as this game might indicate otherwise.

This is another small project but I think it turned out really nice.
I’m working on Flock next, which was delayed for this project. Flock is going well, but is messing with my mind with all the maths.

Hi everyone.
Fresh off the Achievement Unlocked 2 release I worked on small minigame called Anglebeat (or Tanglebeat, I couldn’t decide). Its one part beat creation and one part puzzle strategy. It took me about three days from start to finish.

Next I’m going to be working on a project codenamed “Flock.” It’s a game about birds.

Enjoy. And go watch Shark Week, it’s fun.
