MASHUP Roundup

June 30th, 2011

 

This month’s mix of mashups made for many intriguing mixtures (please excuse the shameless alliteration). All sorts of genres, ideas, and mechanics were smashed together from tower defense to tetris to action platforming. Often when this kind of combining and reworking goes on some very interesting gameplay can emerge, and that was no exception for this month’s mishmash of crazy ideas!

 

Let’s check out what’s brewing in these 11 games:

 

Squirrels With Machine Guns, by Luke O’Connor

Really fun mix of tower defense and sort of action platforming, lots of interesting design questions here that could be explored further! Also educational, what more can you ask for?

 

Tower of Prophet, by M.C. Spross

Interesting mix of tower defense and almost action rpg. It’s well fleshed out, fun to play, and brutally hard!

 

Magnet Jones, by Vic Mugen

Hunt for treasure, evade treasure stealing skulls, manipulate mystical magnets. Definitely some clever ideas at work here!

 

BookWormTris, by Steve Gargolinski

Bookworm meets Tetris, drop blocks and spell words. A fun and delicate balance between trying to find and spell words and lining up new blocks for new potential words.

 

Pacman and Zombies, by Boris Van Schooten

Interesting combo where the ghosts from Pacman are replaced by an ever growing zombie horde. Gives Pacman a whole new feel!

 

Coglitz, by Jonathan Giroux

Pretty cool mashup of two games, and I’m a fan of tube path connection type games. I’d like to see this refined and continued further!

 

Kart Demolition Arena, by Rylius

A very tough blend of death match arena and car racing, reminds me a little of a 2D Twisted Metal. I’d like to see the car aspect fleshed out a bit more!

 

Life, by Arnaud de Bock

A strange platformer with lots of different elements to explore, move, eat, push…

 

 

District B12A2, by Michael Ikkert

There’s so much mashing up going on here it’s off the hook, it’s a turn based boat racing fishing golf game!

 

Hippy Word War, by Johannes Wärn

It’s got hippies, words, and feels a little like scrabble meets a crossword puzzle.

 

 

Optic Echo, by Aaron Oldenburg

While not available to play at the time of this writing, the video sure looks cool. Navigate a world using a visual representation of sound!

MASHUP for June 2011

June 1st, 2011

 

Game Development is often about taking disparate elements and chucking them into a blender before hitting the puree button.  Sometimes the concoction is a delicious new blend of gaming excellence, and other times its contents send you running for the porcelain goddess.

 

Your challenge for June 2011, developers,  is to make a game around the theme: MASHUP. Be it combining gaming genres, mechanics, music, horrifically mutilated mascots, or anything else you can think of we’re excited to see what you stick into this month’s game development blender.
