Hi TIGsourcers!
My friends and I just completed getting our planned one-to-four-player co-op XBLIG release to beta status. The name is Tetramayhem, and it's a 2D, dual-stick, arena platform shooter with puzzle elements. A bit of a mouthful to describe, but a lot of fun with friends!
Anyway, it would be great to get some feedback on the game as we begin optimizing the code and polishing the gameplay. We have a free PC beta available at
http://www.lessthanroyal.com, and we'd love to hear back from you either in this thread, at our email (lessthanroyal [at] gmail), or via Twitter (@lessthanroyal)! Of course, if you really like it, we wouldn't begrudge you Tweeting, Redditing, Digging, Liking, or liking our webpage, or otherwise increasing people's exposure to our games.
An important note about the game: As we have designed Tetramayhem for an Xbox 360 release, the beta is only playable with one to four gamepads, and is only guaranteed to work with Xbox 360 controllers. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Anyway, here's the full description of the game from the site, plus an example image;
Tetramayhem: Drop Blocks and Four Smoking Barrels
A four-player, physics-based, dual-stick action puzzle arena platformer. Really.
The world as we know it is no more. The yellow sky hangs heavy over our cities like an infection, colored only by the thick brown smog that oozes sickly through the empty streets — an environment incapable of sustaining human life, poisoned by our own polluting ways. Worse, something grew in our landfills and toxic waste dumps, a vengeful race of brutal garbage mutants that rose up and decimated the unprepared human population. Known only as The Swarm, they now roam the countryside seeking out the last few pockets of human resistance. Now, the players must take up the task of cleaning up the atmosphere, destroying The Swarm, and restoring life to the world.
Fight back against the swarm with seven satisfying weapons and up to four players in frantic cooperative gameplay. Every player gets an avatar to fight against the Swarm with, but only Player One can control your most powerful tool — the Block Dropper that hovers above the battlefield. Drop tetramino-shaped building blocks onto the battlefield to build fortifications and climb above the waves of enemies, and match blocks of the same color to spawn power-ups or clean the environment. Play through our randomized Arcade campaign for hours of replayable entertainment, tackle the punishing difficulty of the unassisted Hardcore mode, or go for the high-score with a single life in Survival mode.
