Ricochet Mini! a demake/sequel/prequel of our previous game, Gentlemen... Ricochet! What started as a small joke game quickly became a bit bigger when we realized we could do something nice with it. It takes the gameplay of the original game and simplifies it to the point of being a one-touch game, where timing is all that mathers. The games features Gameboy inspired visual (included the square-ish resolution) and a wonderful chiptune soundtrack inspired by the original game's jazzy tunes. Oh, did I mention Local Multiplayer, unlockable Mini-Games and Boss Battles? Here's the trailer, hope you guys enjoy the game!

We'll have to figure this out, sorry about that. EDIT: Turns out it's the music. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,770 555 113 England #4 psj3809, Dec 7, 2014 Yeah bit of a showstopper for me, with the minimalist retro graphics i thought the filesize would be tiny. Installed i presume its even more ? BïtseGames Member Sep 21, 2013 15 0 0 Montreal #5 BïtseGames, Dec 7, 2014 It stays about the same. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #6 NOEN, Dec 7, 2014 Looks good. I'll wait and see if there will be a size reduction soon. I don't have the room. Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #7 Exact-Psience, Dec 7, 2014 I find this post funny coz simplification of a game's mechanics doesnt really equate to a bigger file size. Tis good that BitseGames already posted here though, coz that means they are aware of this, and can lower the bit rate of the music they use or cut the loops or something like that to reduce the filesize. BïtseGames Member Sep 21, 2013 15 0 0 Montreal #8 BïtseGames, Dec 7, 2014 Hey guys, we just sent the next update to apple, it'll reduce the game size to about 40mb (!!!) (that said, the poor music had to take a huge hit). The new update also include a "Catch" prompt on the first level, to make it less confusing and a better looking Battle Mode menu. NOEN Well-Known Member Jul 31, 2012 3,245 0 0 U.S. #9 NOEN, Dec 7, 2014 Great to hear about the file size. What did you have to do to the music? BïtseGames Member Sep 21, 2013 15 0 0 Montreal #10 BïtseGames, Dec 7, 2014 We lowered the bitrate. It's fine for now, but we'll see if there is a better solution in the future, that music deserves to be heard at the highest quality possible Duke12 Well-Known Member Oct 25, 2013 998 31 28 #11 Duke12, Dec 7, 2014 Edit: brainfart metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #12 metalcasket, Dec 8, 2014 That trailer had me sold within seconds.

Should have been called "Gentleman... Ricochet Retro" Plus retro in any title = sales! BazookaTime Well-Known Member Sep 30, 2009 5,340 1 36 Kansas http://www.paulmcraelind.com #19 BazookaTime, Dec 8, 2014 Loved the original, this looks awesome. armandkesh New Member Dec 8, 2014 1 0 0 #20 armandkesh, Dec 8, 2014 After playing through world 4, I really am enjoying this game. I have a few possible points. Add the option to have some sort of skin instead of the black bars (hint hint game boy lookalike) furthermore make the retry for boss levels on the bottom of the screen due to the frustration of moving to a new world after not 3 starring. The last. Finally, how long must you last to get 3 stars in the avoid the spike ball level? (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
