Hi guys,
Hope everyone is well?
We have two new minis coming out soon, "Pulse" and "Stellar Attack". And I have some exclusive screen shots for you.
For now I will leave you to speculate what the games involve, although you should be able to guess from the screen shots! Enjoy! :)
Pulse:
Stellar Attack:
If you have any questions give me a shout.
Thanks
Steven.
Yep they are definitely coming out. Stellar Attack is finished and Pulse isn't far behind. :)
These will be available world wide. I will give you more info on release date when I know.
I think prices will be:
Pulse will be £3.99
Stellar attack will be £2.99

good to hear from you again, steven,
but i doubt these will see a North American release for a while (will they?),
i still havent been able to play Qubixx since it hasnt been released here yet....
*edit: just saw youre new post saying they will be released world wide (yay!), does that mean youll release Qubixx too?*
im going to take an insane guess on what Stellar Attack is and say that its a shmup where you have four different attacks based on the face buttons of the psp,
triangle affects the green orbs, cross affects the blue orbs, circle affects the red orbs, and square affects the yellow,
am i anywhere near correct?
im gonna agree with koenigseggrocks and say Pulse is sort of like beats,
i think the arrow in the middle of the circle is controlled via analog stick,
you point the arrow in the direction of the symbol/button going towards the circle and when it gets close enough (touching the arrow) you push the face button corresponding to the symbol shown,
the buttons with a streak following them need to be held, much like the long notes on guitar hero or rock band.
thats what it looks like to me.
i really hope you guys took the small criticism from the Qubixx review and used it to your advantage, adding extra game modes and such to spice up these games,
the fact that you take the time to answer our questions and such is enough to get me to like you, and im rooting for you guys to get a better score this time.

Oh, this guy made Qubixx?
theyve got two buys actually, :) (i guess we do agree alot)
but they probably havent got it rated by ESRB yet, isnt it around $1000 to do so?
if there was a reason, that would be it.
Thanks guys! I didn't technically make Cubixx as I am a producer not a programmer, but yes I was closely involved.
That being said I worked quite a bit on Pulse, and of course I am going to be biased but it is one of the best games I have personally worked on and we are pleased with how it is turning out.
You guessed right about Stellar attack, which I can confirm has multiple game modes (which was one of the complaints with Cubixx)! I didn't work much on Stellar Attack but if you have any questions I can get the answers.
Finally, I can Cubixx US is on it's way. I believe we have an age rating sorted now so fingers crossed it will be with you very soon. I will update you as soon as I have a concrete date.
As we now know the process of releasing minis in the US these 2 new titles shouldn't be far behind the EU versions.
Thanks for your support and feedback (good or bad). :)

I read somewhere that it was about $2000.... And I can see why that would make them hesitate a little. But Qubixx does look really cool. Like Fortix, but WAY better, in every way. I can understand though if it doesn't see a US release, although I'd be really excited if it did. And also, 3 buys. My brother just said he'd get it too ;)
EDIT* Wow, really? Qubixx for US?!! WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Any word on when that will be released for US??? And also, will the US version have more game modes? And finally, is it Qubixx or Cubixx? Thanks so much! Can't wait for these games! I'm SO getting every single one! :)*

Stellar attack will hopefully be out early next month in EU.
I will have to update you on the US version when I hear any news.
I watched a video of Yars Revenge but couldn't really tell what was going on!!

you havent played it before?
heres a wiki link
dont worry, you didnt rip the game off if thats what your thinking,
as i said, while one can compare it to yars revenge, calling it a clone is a large exaggeration.
Can I just add that calling Pulse a copy of Beats is also a little unfair. Although I haven't played beats from what I hear it is more or less something to do whilst listening to music, and not really much of a game. Pulse is a game in it's own right and I think very addictive and fun. I would say if anything it is more like Samba De Amigo, guitar hero or gitaroo man, but obviously better! Ha ha! :P

if someone was to use just that description alone, to tell me what the game they just played was, i would be positive they had just played beats,
so because of that, people are going to compare it to beats.
and im not saying you've made a beats clone, i can see many huge differences in the gameplay,
im just saying people are going to compare it to beats, your just going to have to get over that, and this isnt necessarily a bad thing, if your lucky people will like the differences it has from beats and say: "dont get beats, this ones way better!".
Well like I said I haven't played beats so I can only go on what I've read elsewhere. But I agree if people liked beats then hopefully they will buy this too! And I already said I'm bound to be slightly biased! :P

Hey there igotmy9milli,
Congrats on the new projects, but I was curious -- this isn't the same game as the Dutch title Pulse by any chance? (An indie project, just got signed by Virtual Fairgrounds, I've never played it but the only screen so far is a title that looks pretty different but may not represent their game.)
If yours is totally different, you guys might want to shop around for another title while it's still early since there could be conflicts if you were to port this to PC via Steam or an iPhone. Those guys have no Minis plans as far as I know, though.
Best of luck with the new projects!
Thanks for that we are considering changing the name. But to what!??!?

"Super Happy Sumo Fun Time"? jk
how about "guitar hero" I dont think thats been done before. :D
(being serious now) idk theres a number of names you could chose from,
or you could try to keep pulse but change it up a little by adding a subtitle or something to keep it from being too confusing:
"rhythmic pulse" "pulse: play the music"
(not so serious here:) "Pulse: not the Ipod one, but better!"
any one of those will do!
