 Walkie TonkyAs some might have noticed we submitted a game called Walkie Tonky to the IGF this year. No nomination this time but I guess that's nothing to stay too sad over considering the competition. Instead I'll hope for the No More Sweden (Nor Finland) winning streak to grow!  Anyway, Walkie Tonky is a concept we've been working on and the demo we submitted to IGF is sort of a prototype Emil, Erik and me put together at Pieces Interactive. The idea of the game is that you are a big robot that needs to make its way through a constantly scrolling level by throwing and kicking things out of the way. Or you could just say that it's like playing a giant metallic baby on a destructive rampage. I wanted to make a physics-based game that took advantage of the chaos and variation adding simulated physics can bring, without it being too much of a sandboxy puzzle game which is often what physics-based games tend to be. Don't get me wrong, I like sanboxy puzzle games, I just wanted to try a new approach. With Walkie Tonky the design came out of the basic concept of a shmup with physics. So try it out will ya, any feedback is welcome!  Download here!  ( Download mirror) ( ) |

I love the artwork. I love the game. It's a bit frustrating trying to kick and throw quickly enough to thwart the enemies, but I like it that way. (And I think a lot of physics based games have that level of frustration to them.) I REALLY like this, so please keep up the good work! Edit: Forgot to say, the level of frustration I was talking about seems to really add to that "I'm driving a huge robot through town!" feel. Seriously, I'd take a mecha destruction rampage simulation like this over something like Mech Warrior any day.  |

Well I got it. Played it. Good game. Took me longer to download it than it did to beat it. But my boys (3 and 5) liked it and I kinda liked the space robot meets, well, I don't want to spoil the surprise, enemies theme going on. If you know what I'm talking about, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's presented so well it kinda surprise you in a pleasant way.
And can anyone give me a hint as to how to do those roll over spoilers?

Thanks everyone! How was your feedback from IGF judges?
Haven't received any yet, not for this nor Puzzlegeddon. Should I have? (has anybody else?) Same problem, took me a long time to get it... a mirror link would be good.
Hmm, we'll have to look that over. In the meantime you could always use the mirror link posted by indiegames.com: http://www.mediafire.com/file/w2ygdwijyjq/Walkie_Tonky_installer.exe(I hope it's ok if I borrow it here ) |
