Hey guys! Phil here, formerly marketing dude at Aussie developer Halfbrick. It's been a few months behind the scenes, but we're back in action at our new studio Prettygreat and our first game Land Sliders is on the way. Designed by Luke Muscat (Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride) with art by Hugh Walters (so many games) and programming by Ben Vale (Colossatron, Radical Rappelling). Check out our debut gameplay trailer! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Land Sliders is all about innovation in control. Instead of moving the character with virtual joysticks or buttons, you simply move the entire world around the character, just like scrolling a map, photo or webpage. The character stays in the middle of screen. The goal? Explore and collect! Each character loves something different. Dog loves bones. Tiny Princess loves Unicorns. Mr. Fridge likes milk. Grab as much as you can, avoiding enemies and traps, to go for that high score. We've put plenty of surprises in with our characters, and will be revealing more as time goes on. Every level is entirely new with our infinite 3D world generation tech. And there is a lot more beneath the surface of Land Sliders than meets the eye, but more on that later We made this in four months. Fast development, cool ideas, awesome execution. We'd love to hear what you think, and can't wait to share more soon!
This game is really great looking, really really interesting way to play it, maybe it might be a new genre ? , who knows I really intriguing about how it gonna be played one more thing i think i saw the chicken from crossy road ?! If you guys need a beta tester, I would love to help
Yep, our good friends who made Crossy Road gave us permission to use the character. You can read more details about our partnership here - www.prettygreat.com We're wrapped up the beta test, but will be able to give codes out soon for additional testing. Taking suggestions for characters also, we will be making plenty of rapid updates and there is no limit on weirdness. Our Black Hole character collects planets...
Thanks! My favorite characters switch between Black Hole (sucks up planets) and RPG Hero (everything now has health bars). In each update we'll be able to add heaps of new characters, so always looking for suggestions. Let us know!
Awesome! Here's some ideas. First; the character. 2nd; what they collect. Rabbit or bunny - carrots Vampire - bats Dentist or tooth fairy - teeth Farmer - different fruits and vegetables Crawling Baby - bottles, pacifiers, rattles Unicorn - rainbows Little girl or boy - birthday cake Baseball player - baseballs Football player - football (Sports player - ball from their sport) Cheerleader - Pom poms Chicken - eggs ( with a random or hard to get gold egg for extra points) Tourist - camera Cat - mice or glasses of milk Monkey - banana Elephant - peanuts Doctor - stethoscope Firman - little fires Police man - badges or robbers Robber/bad guy wearing eye mask - bags of money Car - gas station pumps Radio or person holding radio - treble clefs ( short bursts of a different music sound can play whenever player gets another clef or 10 of them, etc.... Wheelbarrow - flower in flower pot Toilet - toilet paper ( fun whooshing sounds) Boxer - boxing gloves Child in school uniform - stack of books Teacher - chalk & eraser, an abc Baker - rolling pin, ladles Cook or frying pan - fried egg Artist (person wearing a beret holding paintbrushes & wearing a smock/apron - paintbrushes House painter (guy wearing paint stained overalls & holding a brush or bucket of paint - wall painting brushes, buckets, etc. toothbrush - toothpaste tubes Barefoot person in a robe - bunny slippers Office worker - coffee cups or coffee pots (or tea) Squirrel - nuts Gamer - controllers Nerds - glasses Sailor - ship Large fish or shark - smaller fish or surfer Zombie - humans Butterfly watcher holding a butterfly net - butterflies Woman with big lips - tubes of lipstick You could update before different seasons adding specialized characters: Cupid - arrows and hearts Leprechaun - clovers & pot of golds Santa - candy canes, bag of toys.... Easter bunny - decorated Easter eggs Moms ( mothers days) - flower bouquet Dads ( Father's Day) - ties Halloween characters ( ghost, frakenstein, black cat, etc...) - bats, Halloween candy, etc... Independence Day (US) - firework clusters, flags.... New Years (US) - firework clusters, baby new year, champagne glass New Years (China) - dragons, and other New Years characters The ideas just keep coming! LOL Good luck with your game!
