Hey guys, just here to tell you Orangepixel released it's latest game onto Ouya: Groundskeeper 2
It should be on the featured list of your Ouya today so go check it out! :)
More info on the game can be found here: groundskeepergame.com
bought it yesterday already! great fun! :)
How can you go wrong. You get to shoot things...A LOT.
I've had a positive regard for Orangepixel games since the early days of MOGA--which feels like a long time ago, but I guess it really wasn't? The Meganoid games were simple yet solid platformers, and they were among the first things you could really play on Android with a controller. I was pleased to see Orangepixel onboard with OUYA from early on. I'm more pleased that continue. But most of all I am very pleased with how the last few games themselves have turned out. I think they really hit a note that casual and hardcore players can both enjoy. Heroes of Loot has especially been a blast. For simple games from essentially a one-developer studio, these games were never shabby, but they've really come a long way in just a short time. I've been following the development of Grounskeeper 2 for awhile, downloaded it the moment it hit the store, and will be trying it out this weekend. Can't wait.
Pascal, I've been meaning to ask, but is there any chance that some of your older games might eventually come to OUYA? It seems like there's not much need to tweak them for the platform, but I know you're very busy as it is. It would be cool to at least get Groundskeeper 1 for the sake of same-console completion. :)
pretty cool game, I'll try it :D
I tried it, liked it, and bought it.
I got this game on both the Ouya and my iPhone. I'm really enjoying it but there's something a little strange about picking up hearts; sometimes when I walk over a heart it gets added to my health while other times it doesn't! Anyone else have this problem? It happens on both versions...
first of all: sorry! don't check here often enough :) too many forums and stuff to keep track of.Quote:

Also the older games need some tweaking to work fine on Ouya, where the newer games I create I already keep the system in mind, so they are simple to also have up and running on here in the right way.
I got a copy of Meganoid2 running on Ouya, but there is some controller-lag making some levels close to impossible even for me.. so I'm still deciding if I should release or not.
This is actually a thing that others also noted, and I thought nobody would :)Quote:

Love this game! I made a little (german) gameplay of this:
