Adventurer Pets
Release: w/o 11/23
Cost: 200 points

This little title will be coming out sometime of the week of November 23rd, depending on how long it takes to pass through.

Basically when designing this game, I locked myself in a room and payed through all the games I remembered having a lot of fun with with friends in the room when I was younger. So, basically Floyd of the Jungle (and old C64 game), Bomberman Saturn, Mario Kart, and a few others. And I realized that the most fun part of those games were screwing people over. So I invented a local multiplayer party game where the goal is just to screw your friends over as much as possible.

It can be best described as a single screen platformer with up to 4 people. The object is to get the most points to win (or in single player to progress through the levels getting points, a la Donkey Kong, or a time attack mode, a la Geometry Wars 2’s countdown). You get random power ups that help you or screw other people over, there is collision between the characters and you’re unleashed in 6 different levels racing for points and trying to kill each other.

I dunno, I have been playtesting with friends and we’ve all been having a lot of stupid fun creating devious ways to kill each other or racing to the top - and it reminds me of being a kid again. And I never typically have this much fun with my own games, either, so I guess it’s a pretty good game. I’d suggest buying it when it comes out!
