Titan attacks ultratron droid assault revenge of the titans
So, day after day, I'd hear about her experiences with these various Ouya twin-stickers and what was good or bad about each of them.

We had an Ouya in the bedroom and she spent day after day tracking down and playing just about every twin-stick shooter on the platform. At the same time, my girlfriend had been laid up in bed for some weeks due to some health issues. By early 2014 I felt I'd learned enough that I needed a reasonably sized project to get involved with in order to learn much more. Puppygames has always been strictly a Java shop but late in 2013 I caught the Unit圓D bug (it was kinda going around) and started playing around with its excellent tools in my spare time. Coding and doing audio work for our existing stable of four games, Titan Attacks, Ultratron, Droid Assault and Revenge of the Titans. I've worked at Puppygames for about 5 years. The downside is that, when there are a lot of things happening at once, it can be very hard to distinguish what to do, especially in a 2D environment.A micro-studio based in Bristol and founded by coder, composer and current Puppygames dev 'Allicorn' to host the output of solo projects. It's beautiful and unique, and it allows users to instantly recognize their titles at a glance. The developers from Puppy Games use the same 8-bit theme for their engine across all titles. The only problem I had with the game was that sometimes it was difficult to see what was going on. It's not very difficult and, if you manage to save enough droids, the fight will be easier than you can imagine. The game wouldn’t be complete if there weren't boss units.įrom time to time, you will encounter a very large droid that can't be controlled and that you will have to fight. These are very important and they will keep you alive. Some of the enemy units will drop upgrades, money for points, better weapons, shields, and even transfer points. Be warned though, friendly fire is active and if you're not careful enough you can kill them by mistake. They seem to be pretty good at staying alive and they have very good aim. If you manage to get through the levels in one piece, you will be able to keep them and start the next one with all the droids that you saved. The bigger ones require more transfer points than the little ones, but they are also a lot more powerful. He has the power to take control of any other unit it encounters, with some restrictions, of course.Īt the beginning of each level you receive a number of transfer points, which can be used to take control of other units. The gameplay starts very simply, with the player and just one droid, but this is no ordinary droid. Unlike the other game I just mentioned, in Droid Assault you get to control a lot more units, although only one at a time. You will take the control of a droid (what else could it be?) and you will try to survive and gather a small flock of droid followers. Unlike previous games from this studio, which required you to shoot everything that moved, in Droid Assault you will need to be a little more cunning and a lot less gung-ho. That is because it doesn't have one and it doesn't pretend that it needs one.ĭroid Assault is promoted by its developer as a tactical shooter and that's correct, for the most part. As we have seen so far, Titan Attacks and Ultratron are superbly executed games, although a bit on the difficult side.Īs you have probably noticed, I didn't mention anything about a story. With an 80% discount, it would be foolish not to buy them all. I got the game during this last Steam Sale, which is still ongoing, along with all the other games from their collection. Now, with the release of Steam for Linux, the gamers can even be picky about what they're playing. Up until a year ago, Linux gamers were struggling to find an interesting game to play that hadn't been in the works for the last ten years, and that wasn't still in the development stages. In fact, every game released so far by them has been a resounding success, and it seems that everything they produce is just good.

Their first game was called Titan Attack and it was a hit.

The Puppy Games developers have chosen a very difficult path for themselves. Droid Assault is a 2D arcade shooter developed by none other than Puppy Games, the same studio responsible for Titan Attacks, Ultratron, and Revenge of the Titans.
