Spinbot Battles - Pre release thread

LBG

Hello all,

I have been working hard on Spinbot Battles for a while now and wanted to share it with the community.

Instead of re-posting stuff, I have decided to post links at regular intervals to my blog. Each day I am releasing new information on it in the hope of building some pre-release hype and would really appreciate it if you guys would take a look.

Little Brute Games wordpress blog: http://littlebrute.wordpress.com/

I'm going to spend tonight and tomorrow going through the facebook thread and liking people there too, so if you see a like from me please like my page back.


Thanks to all those who take a look and everyone who helped on the forums,

Hi all,

Thanks to those that took a look at my blog. I really appreciate the support. I have decided to post here more often instead of relying on people visiting the blog all the time.

Here are a couple of gameplay screen shots to get started:

Spinbot Battles is a futuristic sport where as a Spinbot pilot you must take on wave after wave of enemies in an arena filled with devastating traps to be crowned champion.

To defeat your enemies you can use your Spinbot as a battering ram which, whilst not greatly effective at first, becomes more effective as you earn new robots and upgrade them with more powerful weaponry. The preferred method is to use tactics and daring manoeuvres to draw your enemies into activated traps dealing huge amounts of damage to them and sparing your Spinbot from harm.

Here are some videos of a few of the traps:

Pop-up Sentry gun:


Tesla trap:


Radiation trap:

This last video also showcases the new HUD design plus in game music.

Thanks for taking a look,

Cheers Roy. I was playing with a spinning top (my wife loves old fashion toys) with my son. I found myself trying to spin it to bash his other toys and thought, "Hey. There's a game here somewhere....". It's been fun developing the gameplay and the art style too.

It has been submitted, so I am hoping to have it out next Wednesday.

Thanks for the kind responses. Here are some more screen shots:

The main menu:


The Factory. This is where you'll get new bots and purchase weapons for them:


This is the pre-game upgrades menu. Here, before each game, you can purchase a one time upgrade. This type of upgrade you purchase here will depend on your favoured tactics:


I'll be posting a gameplay video soon hopefully.

Thanks,
