![]() It does look like it can make for a killer VR action game, though (it has to be better than the Maleficent films, at the very least). Wolf & Pigs: Out for Vengeance- We’ve seen several revisions and different takes on classic fairy tales in the past, but a version of the Three Little Pigs that takes place in a post-apocalyptic land where the wolf is the hero and the pigs are a gang of wasteland hoodlums is still a rather surprising one. The game already made a damn good first impression when it led off Nintendo’s Indie World showcase last week, so here’s hoping we see more cool and explosive bits like this in the coming months!Īn afternoon nap is the perfect opportunity to take down the gang's guards with a charge shot! #wolfandpigs #gamedev #screenshotsaturday /8jlY6ue1Qx ![]() We're super hyped by all the feedback we got from our announcement trailer! We'll be posting Blue Fire's updates here on twitter and also on our blog at so stay tuned □ #indiedev #IndieWorld #indiegames #NintendoSwitch #gamedev /WUcdD133Yeīlue Fire- Well, not only is this the first Screenshot Saturday post for Robi when it comes to showcasing their upcoming 3D platforming adventure, but also one of their first tweets ever. Luckily, this past week gave us many games in various forms to help us take our minds off of our troubles for a while, including enough posts to make for a batch of quick looks into highly promising titles. And yes, again, sorry if that sounds awkward, but being holed up for a lengthy period on top of everything else can take its toll on you. There was still quite a bit to work with this week when it came to those working on indie games and sharing their work with the #screenshotsaturday tag, actually, but again, given the time we’re in right, now, there are still at least a couple that deserve at least another small boost. While there is a competitive online aspect to the game (and it feels like it’s trying to be geared towards that), I really felt like where KungFu Kickball shined was on the couch with my friends and family screaming at each other and myself.Okay, here we are with another edition of Screenshot Saturday, in the second week of our temporary “anything goes” approach. This makes it an excellent choice for some on-screen fun with all friends and family, not just gamers. Anybody can jump in, regardless of how much experience they’ve had with a controller in their hands and get to the fun almost instantly. KungFu Kickball is an absolutely smashing experience with a group of friends. I have a very strong urge to compare KungFu Kickball to the likes of a Smash Bros. They will simply be knocked down for a brief time, hence unable to participate, after taking too much damage from friend and foe. As a character takes damage, there is no damage meter, or any aspect that takes them out of the game. There is some mild platforming involved, but it only amplifies the excitement, even for unseasoned players. While there are a handful of different characters to choose from, the differences are largely cosmetic. The controls are simple to the extreme, so literally anybody and their mother can pick this game up and feel comfortable almost immediately. You can also attack your opponents! The entire experience of almost every match I took part in was an over the top, zany “Oh, no you didn’t! Take that!” screaming match with my opponents and teammates. The ball, however, is not the only object in the arena to punish as a means to victory. As you maneuver the arena, you advance the ball by assaulting it using your Kung Fu skills. What makes KungFu Kickball so much fun is the melee combat that WhaleFood Games injected into an otherwise primarily innocent pastime. There is no story whatsoever KungFu Kickball is simply about the competition. ![]() Whichever side scores the most points, of course, wins. Here, each side must ring a bell hung on the opponent’s side of the arena by kicking or punching the ball into it. Just like every competition in the history of the world, the objective is to be better than the other team. KungFu Kickball is simply about jumping into a 2D arena with one to three of your buddies locally, or strangers in online play. What ensued was a lesson I never thought a video game would push me towards: I need to soundproof my game room. KungFu Kickball appeared at first glance to fit that niche, so I couldn’t wait to dive in fists first with my friends and family. ![]() Local multiplayer games, both co-op and competitive, have been a favorite in my house for as long as I can remember. Crouching Tiger, Hidden…Pufferfish? WhaleFood Games, who brought us Too Many Snakes, pits you and your friends against other combatants in the zany, action packed experience that is KungFu Kickball.
