Hi all, Ben Murch, Creative Director from Rodeo Games here. Whilst Rodeo is taking a breather, I've started a new company with my buddy from the AAA games industry. We're focused on creating awesome mobile experiences. New company is called Perchang Our first game is a test of skill and wits. Think Marble Madness crossed with Lemmings. Get the balls into the goals. Press the red button to activate red things, press the blue button.... well, you can figure that bit out. Tap on a level element to change it's colour from red to blue and vice versa. Keeping up? Good! We've got Fans, Platforms, Flippers, Grav Portals, Cannons and loads more elements to help you complete levels. We've also got medals for good performance. Get more medals than your friends. Here's a little gameplay vid: [hqyoutube]7iUVb46vpLw[/hqyoutube] Now, the game will be out on iOS towards the end of May / beginning of June. We haven't actually settled on a name yet. Ideas welcome... Perchang!
Alright this is something right here. Looks unique. Oh you need name ideas? I'll try: Skill Lab Totally balls A game with stuff Area Out Of Ideas ps: those were actually serious suggestions
Thanks Pitta, and thanks Fabianb for the name suggestions. I think we actually discussed Skill Lab at one point! Maybe something to do with the machine parts that change colour?
Yeah it does look like a lab environment. And since I read in the discription that there is skill involved, that name popped up! Funny that you guys already discussed that name hahah.
Wow, saw it first on Pocketgamer, love it, want it no need it, wish you the best with your new studio and with your first launch can't wait. Name suggestion: KAPLUNK
Wow, this looks fantastic!! Looks like it's my kind of game. An idea for a name - how about using a mashup of the games you mentioned - MARBLINGS
I quite like Kaplunk as well. Do you lot think it's a bit too similar to this though? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KerPlunk_(game) Marblings is great. That's going on the list! Jamesrooney, yes we could definitly sort that. Ping an email to [email protected]
Kaplunk is the sound that the balls make when they land in the bucket or end station ha ha. What about SPUNK as a name.
Yes, that is a slightly dodgy word! # ....I like the whole "noise the balls make" idea, though. How about something to do with the actual machine parts, and the way they change colour?
Sorry for the rude gamename ha ha. I am thinking about a good name, I watched the video of the game again and you control the balls, so I thought CONTROLZ and then you do one O in red and the other O in blue, but don't know further that's all I come up with. Another name could be: B-Machinery. I know Perchang! is the name of the studio, I first thought that was the name of the game and to be honest the game looks like it would called PERCHANG! great name IMHO.
@fabien, thanks for those. All going on the list. @roger, Using the coloured "O"s in control is inspired! Good work! We have talked about calling it Perchang. It's a cool word (and very personal between myself and the other co-founder), but perhaps too abstract and not descriptive enough for the App Store.
