Tiamat X - BBQ Games

[Killswitch]

I guess this is another upcoming game that has slipped under the radar. Seem to be finding a lot of these on Twitter.



The evil Choazid Empire has launched a surprise attack on your homeworld, establishing a heavily fortified base from where their forward assault group burrows deep underground, capturing subterranean lifeforms and transforming them into vicious biomechs.

With it being only a matter of time before the Choazids start converting your people, it's up to you to take the controls of one of the few remaining Tiamat dragonship prototypes: the X class fighter, a craft capable of immense firepower - provided you pick up enough upgrade caches during a mission where you must dodge and blast like there's no tomorrow.

Featuring six levels of intense shooting action, Tiamat X is a rip-snortin tribute to the side-scrolling shooters of yesteryear, and would be right at home blazing away on the screen of a booming, beer-stained arcade cabinet. As such, your PC will have to do, and it is much to the designer's regret that he can't plumb a coin-slot into his rig for that truly authentic seaside amusement-park experience.

Get some big speakers, though. Really, we do recommend them for this game.

Key features include:
x Auto fire - this is primarily intended as an accessibility option and allows the player to not have to worry about using a fire button.
x Quick fire - don't like mashing buttons/keys, then this is for you. Press and hold to fire.
x Colour blind filter - this filter adjusts the game thereby making it more colour blind friendly. We just hope we have got it right!
x Six levels of intense shooting action.
x Original music score.

BBQ? I was hoping for some corn hole or something

Wow, this looks really cool.

I wonder, if they announce their games for the OUYA, where else would they post it than here ? o_O
Is there another forum we don't know about? Or can't they find this forum? Hard to miss...
The Dev forum? OuyaforumS ??

[Killswitch]

That other one is completely dead and the dev forum is a nightmare. No clue why they don't get announced here or why I have to scrape #ouya to find them.

Hi there,

I am the lead developer for this game. Apologies, but we were unaware of this forum until Killswitch contacted us. We'll be sure to use it in future for any OUYA games that we are looking to release.

Many thanks,

So you were completely unaware of the forum? That's not good...may have to do something about that.

Hi!
The game seems promising

The only negative points I see from the video (you can work more on them), are:

-the OST: this epic music seems terrible, better to take it away, adding some cool chip tunes!
-enemies sometimes are badly animated. This lack could be caused by the fact the game is still in development, however I indicate the actual problem.

See you!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll pass it onto the rest of the team for consideration.

Are there any enemies in particular that you could point out?
