Crush the Critters!

The first of the "dance pad games" we're working on is called Crush the Critters, which is a whack-a-mole clone made for the dance pad. Now, instead of getting exhausted from hitting moles, you'll get worn out from stomping your feet all over little critters.

To the left there is the graphic for the basic critter (I told you I couldn't draw!). The critters will pop their heads up out of the ground, stick their tongues out and hide. If you stomp upon them, stars will circle their heads and they'll collapse under their hiding spot.

The goal is to defeat x number within y time limit. The game will also feature extra bonuses and an adventure mode.

Keep your eyes posted for more info!

Welcome!

Welcome to the blog (as if you need to read another one of these welcome messages!). While we may change our name from Hedonism Games at some point, we will always be about the same thing - creating fun, simple, 2D games with a twist. While the current portfolio doesn't highlight this very well, I swear that you'll be seeing it soon. Some of the highlights include (in this order):

  1. Some experimental titles involving the classic dance pad.
  2. A political platforming game in episodic form.
  3. A game about garbage?
  4. A game best described as Redneck Rampage meets Neopets.

And somewhere in there, you'll see a wonderful experiment with our title, Candy Catastrophe.

So, welcome!
