Thumper

developed by DROOL | Platforms: Windows, PS4, VR

“Thumper combines classic rhythm-action with breakneck speed and brutal physicality. You are a space beetle hurtling towards a maniacal giant head from the future.”

“With one analog stick and one button, you control a space beetle while hurtling through stunning and treacherous worlds. Each rhythmic hit, crash, and impact is interwoven with an original soundtrack by Brian Gibson of the acclaimed noise-rock band Lightning Bolt.

“There’s no blood or gore, but you’ll feel the violence.”

I wanted to make some more varied gifs, but I’d need more footage to get a nice cross section of imagery. I’ll definitely be looking into making another post sometime down the line. Absolutely love the aesthetic and music in the new trailer.

This gif I stole from the website; wish I could make stuff like it!

the Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti

developed by BEETHOVEN & DINOSAUR | Platforms: Windows, Mac, & Linux

[gfycat data_id="ThirstyGloomyAsiaticwildass"][gfycat data_id="DimThickIraniangroundjay"][gfycat data_id="MajesticIlliterateEskimodog"]

“A narrative-driven action/adventure, music-sampling, platforming, rhythm laser-light guitar solo kind of game”

“Your dialogue choices shape the backstory, image, charisma and the name of Francis’s new stage persona. There’s a plethora of extra-dimensional-animalia to interact with and sample with your field recorder. Play your samples back to gain access to new areas, hypnotize beasts, and create your own alien arrangements.

“Make landscapes sing with your movement. Play operatic guitar solos through your holographic amplifier. Climb mountains. Ford the planes of space and oblivion. Become an awe-inspiring entertainer from beyond the stars.”

Wandersong

developed by Greg Lobanov | Platforms: Windows, Mac

[gfycat data_id="AffectionateRepentantCentipede"][gfycat data_id="DeterminedEmotionalEmperorpenguin"][gfycat data_id="BiodegradableWarmheartedDiscus"]

A musical adventure where your character must sing in time with various visual cues. It’s currently on Kickstarter in order to ensure it has an awesome soundtrack (like in the trailer).

“Use your singing to solve people’s problems, solve puzzles, and hopefully, ultimately, save the world!”

“Wandersong is *not* about learning a few note patterns and re-using them throughout the game: it’s about observing the environment, and using music to interface with each unique situation.”

Light at the End of the Tunnel

I made this from the trailer for Neon Drive (which should be releasing soon). The pulsating light and tunnel lines streaming by turned out to be pretty mesmerizing (at least for me). Hope you like it. :)

Thumper

developed by DROOL.

A rhythm game with tense chest-rumbling music and sound effects.

“Thumper combines classic rhythm-action with speed and physicality. You control a space beetle while careening towards confrontation with an insane giant head from the future.”

I got really taken in by the aesthetic and sound in the trailer, so I decided to treat myself for reaching 500 followers. =) Which meant pulling out my hair learning GIMP over the weekend. >.< Though I think it was worth it; in the top GIF I edited out some items on the pathway, so that it would look a bit more endless.

GIFS made from: teaser trailer | Crakhead teaser | Polygon gameplay video

I did a teaser of it last week that maybe was a bit too obscure, or people didn’t like. Hopefully not the latter as here it is again!

Incriminator

developed by Michael Olney, art by Tom Filhol, and music by Chris Sinnott.

A puzzle game where you have to figure out how to steal an item while using the correct tools and route, in order to frame someone else for the crime.

Dfragmente

by hexdie.

A couple tracks of really smooth music from Dfragmente, a short 2D platformer. Programming, art, and music are all done by hexdie. If you’re into programming, the last level is pretty well done, brought a smile to my face.
