Bit Pilot - Indie Game Showcase @Appstore

Why we love Bit Pilot

Bit Pilot is a great example of a really pure space dodge em up (hey, we made one of those!). This one is all about the control, the entire game is based around one of the most beautifully unique touchscreen mechanics we've ever seen. Move your finger in the direction you want your teeni weeni ship to move, wait... there's more, move your other finger in the same way and your ship moves twice as quick in that same direction. This wonderfully simply, intuitive method is absolutely perfect and really makes this game!

Favourite moments

• Those super intuitive, amazing controls
• Awesome, retro inspired, chiptuney soundtrack
• Tiny little 'Akira' style space pills
• Balance between bigger shield & bigger area of space to occupy
• Getting 'Mangled' and the red screen of death
• Beautifully detailed tiny space ship impact graphics and booster
• Awesome and intuitive method of displaying shield strength
• The white lines of doom
• Great start screen style, UI and music (love, love, love the start screen music!)
• Wonderful resume screen (and its lovely little pip, pip, pip!)

Bit Pilot is superb, ultra pure, perfectly responsive, effortless - buy it!

David. - Indie Game Showcase @Appstore

Why we love David.

David. is cool, really cool, around the time of its release there was a quote from someone who claimed that David is like a super minimal Shadow of the Colossus, it's true! You'll probably have expectations from the visual style that's its going to be another minimal puzzler or platformer, but somehow, it feels more like a beat 'em up / shooter! Most importantly, you've never played anything like it. Amazing sound and style, incredible time based mechanic and death moments. A truly beautiful, absurdly creative game with loads of replay value.

Favourite moments

• First time you use your gift and time slows...WAIT!
• Sound track that feels like FEZ and is similarly wonderful!
• That bit during the intro where the narrative is baked into the world :)
• The awesome boss names 'Wolf, Flee, Pride'
• The wonderful visual language used in the restart interface
• Discovering ARENA mode
• The big fat pixel text mixed with a super sharp vectors
• The damn coolness! (envious because we'll probably never make anything quite as cool!)

David is unique, so unique in fact that everyone who enjoys buying, playing and especially making games should get it immediately, wonderful! buy it!
