King of the Kaiju vs the MechaKaiju

It's been a long time since we've made any updates to our King of the Kaiju game, but we've just added a boss fight that we hope will be worth the wait. When players make it to 500 points in the normal game, fighting their way through waves of tanks, helicopters, fighter jets, rocket launcher trucks, and the tricky Quadcopter bosses, they will be met with a new challenge: the MechaKaiju!

Defeating the MechaKaiju can be quite the task at first. You have to fight your way through its shields and then damage its 3 target zones before landing the killing blow. Unfortunately, after you destroy a target zone, the Mecha's shield comes back at full force and the speed of its missiles increases. Luckily, if you can manage to get to the first Quadcopter, you'll unlock a special mode we call "Boss Gauntlet" in which you will only have to face Quadcopters and MechaKaiju and cut out all those bothersome tanks and jets in between so you can get some practice in.

This latest King of the Kaiju update is available on Google Play now, so give it a try!

Fishy Dive is Live!

It seems like lately there have been a lot of clones of the popular game Flappy Bird. Well, we didn't want to miss out on the craze so we've come up with a similar game as well, with one little twist. You are a fish that floats to the top and you tap the screen to dive down, swimming through the gaps in swarms of harmful jellyfish.

This is Fishy Dive! The art is all done by our own Eric Dalrymple with a couple sounds sprinkled in by Andrew Bragg. The game play is simple, fun, and a little addicting if you are trying to best your friends on the Google+ leaderboards. We hope you'll all give it a try and enjoy it

Curse of Anubis Released

We've released our newest game, Curse of Anubis, on the Google Play market! Curse of Anubis is an Egyptian themed, tile-matching puzzle game. Similar to games like Bejeweled or Candy Crush, Curse of Anubis puts a new twist on a tried and true genre.

In Curse of Anubis you try to slide tiles into place to match them in rows or columns of three or more, but this game has one major twist: you control gravity and decide which direction the tiles will fall. Using the Staff of Anubis, you can determine if you want the tiles to slide up, down, left, or right in order to help you create matches and earn points.

The game has five game modes which can be unlocked in the full version by playing the Story Mode. Story Mode challenges the player to beat certain scores in the different modes to advance.

Curse of Anubis has Scoreloop leaderboards for each game mode as well as achievements for various events in the game.

Downplay Games: A beginning.

We are Downplay Games: A (very) small group of people springing into the competitive world of game making. So far we are 2 programmers with very little game programming experience and an artist.

We've been talking about seriously working on some stuff this summer, and we should have some definitive information on projects pretty soon. So far we're thinking:

-A Co-op platformer with physics based puzzles

-A top-down zombie maze game

-A western themed Hybrid action/adventure game with multiple game play elements.

So far, we've just talked about technology we'll be using, and the platforms we'll be developing for. We've run into some snags in development platforms (fees for development/deployment). 

I've been focusing on playing around with the UDK which is what I'll be focusing on. The UDK 2011 has a mobile SDK which works with iOS, so that would be a good springboard into mobile development.

Kyle is working on his zombie game (seen on Downplay Games Youtube), and thinking of making a simple puzzle game mobile app.

Tia will be focusing on providing art for our projects.

More information on projects coming soon.
