Hi Playup Perth-ers!

We have yet another special edition playup for you: The Playup Perth Interstate Arcade, featuring indie games from around Australia and even a few from overseas! This fabulous opportunity to try your hands at games never before played in Perth is thanks to The Interstate Game Exchange, a new initiative which helps game devs to have their games showcased and tested outside of their home town.

See you on the 29th!

-Kate

 

We will be playtesting:

2.) Outback Pixel’s Roid Rage [Kalgoorlie] – Roid Rage An intergalactic speed tapper that makes you see red. Get ready for some finger-breaking action! ROID RAGE is a finger-breaking, asteroid destroying, speed tapper that allows you to buy and upgrade your skills, boosts and space crafts.

 

3.) Outback Pixel’s Thwart Geo [Kalgoorlie] – Thwart A retro-arcade-style shooter reminiscent of an era when games where easy to play but hard to master. A challenging and frustratingly addictive game that will push your steering and aiming skills to the limit!

4.) David Fono’s Morro & Jasp: Unscripted [Canada] – A local co-op 2-player conversation simulator starring clown sisters, co-developed with aforementioned clown sisters. Contains roughly 25,000 words of dialogue and 50 endings.

7.) Wesley Lamont’s, Rogue Blitz [Perth] – The world is under attack by a series over very powerful enemies that have defeated the world’s top air forces. The United Nations and governments are turning to a small group of Rogue Captains piloting experimental fighter planes to try to win the day. Players take on the roles or these Rogue Captains and their warplanes being sent on near impossible missions to defeat these nemeses and save the world.

Rogue Blitz is a board game inspired by the scrolling shoot-em-ups arcade games (SHMUPS) popular in the 1980s. Centred around the challenging boss battles the Rogue Captains need to use strategy, skill and coordination to succeed on each mission and overcome the enemy.
