Glorkbot’s Mini-Adventure.
We posted a quick image and note about our upcoming game Glorkbot's Mini-Adventure, a much smaller game spawned from Glorkian Warrior a few days ago. Here's another image of a section, playing with different colors. And this is just a cropped section from a static level design file, not a game screenshot..

Gammas and Glorks
We are working on a port of Gamma Bros for iOS right now, as well as doing a small game starring GlorkBot, from Glorkian Warrior. Here is a slice of some early level design:
Captain Commander
Do you have what it take to help self-imagined badass space hero Captain Commander rescue the human captives from a hostile alien world, take out the alien mother-brain fortress and handle the barrage of grammatically incorrect taunts and insults? If you're thinking "YES!" (or even "Maybe.."), then click no further than the link below to play our latest game on adultswim.com:

Enjoy!
SNOWBALL!
It's very hard to believe that Dino Run was the last game that we actually owned. We've been selling games to other people for so long, I think it became kind of a habit, even if it was not in our best interest for long term health and sanity.
However.
We are very pleased to announce our next game, SNOWBALL!
We started this game a few years ago, but had to stop for various reasons. But then in October we were able to start it back up again, thanks to a little help from Miniclip.com. (The game will be exclusive on their site for a month, but then it's ours to distribute / license / etc).
Theres not much else to say about it... we're very excited about our first "pixeljam" game in a long time, and we can't wait for everyone to play it! It's currently in beta testing, and will probably be released within the month. We'll keep everyone updated!

Just a few designs up for now, but you can choose your own shirts and shirt colors. More Dino Run (and other Pixeljam) designs will make their way here eventually. We welcome requests as well.
I'd recommend the American Apparel shirts and also the women's junior style v-neck is very nice. They feel and fit great. We hear the Bamboo option is nice too.
Thanks & enjoy!

Dino Run
Hello all! A big Dino Run related post here...
Dino Run SE
This is an expansion / improvement of the web version. You dont need a browser to play it, it runs full-screen very smooth (we redid the rendering code), and we've added new speedruns, multiplayer maps, a new game mode (Planet D), new music, plus lots of new hats and colors.
The official launch is in a week or two. The actual game is done, but we are spending some time setting up other things related to the game (like the info pages and shop, etc).
-----------------
iPhone version: this is still coming along, and as everyone can tell, it's taking a long time. There's no release date, as we need to make sure it's as good as it can be, so we won't rush it. It's a completely new game, with new physics, new terrain, almost new everything!
That's it for now... thanks for reading!

Mountain Maniac Xmas
Mountain Maniac has blown a fuse again! This time while enduring his sentence of community service as a mall Santa (paying his dues for crimes committed against all humanity and mountainsides in his previous game), Mountain Maniac realized he's been saving up his rage all year for just one thing: Santa Claus.
After quickly making his way to the North Pole, Mountain Maniac now wrecks havoc atop an advent calendar of mountain bound Christmas treasures in Mountain Maniac Xmas. Guide him as he pounds boulders down the mountainside to destroy all things precious to good ol' Saint Nick. In four more levels than the first Mountain Maniac game, demolish candied gingerbread houses, gift boxes full of children's toys, elves in toboggans and unsuspecting polar bear cubs. Launch destruction with the help of jack-in-the-boxes, warp tunnels, and larger TNT explosions! Enjoy exciting bonus round action and avoid the bigger and badder North Pole Yeti!
Head over to Adult Swim Games now to play Mountain Maniac Xmas and bring forth a new kind of Christmas miracle this year by forcing Santa to rue the day he ever found his toy making sweatshop and guaranteeing a hefty amount of coal in Mountain Maniac's stocking. Merry raging!
