The “bastard child of Papers, Please and Super Hexagon” released for free

The rules could not be any more straightforward: tap Up, Down, Left, Right in time to a simple beat.  But these instructions deliver a surprisingly complicated action puzzler which has been described by Guardian writer Steven Poole as "a rhythm-action Stroop Test."

A Stroop Test is often used in clinical investigation to measure selective attention, cognitive flexibility and processing speed by asking participants to read out colours written in different inks. Up, Down, Left, Right introduces the concept of routine which is then mixed on the fly to create a fast-paced, absorbing high-score game.

Up, Down, Left, Right challenges players to maintain a simple beat – roughly one every half second – tapping in the sequence Up, Down, Left, Right on a simple keyboard. As play progresses, blocks fall from the top of the screen at a steady pace. These blocks will change the sequence by replacing one key with another – keeping three as normal.  Failure to conform to the beat immediately resets the score.

Up, Down, Left Right is games industry veteran and One Life Left co-presenter Simon Byron’s first videogame.

“I adored how Papers, Please played with the concept of routine, slightly tweaking your instructions day by day, and I loved Super Hexagon for making low scores fashionable,” says Simon Byron, developer, Up, Down, Left, Right. “So in a sense, Up, Down, Left, Right is the bastard child of both, disrupting a rote task – but doing so very quickly. Once players get the mechanic – which is pretty tricky to describe, but is worth persevering with – I’ve found that nothing becomes more important than proving your place on the Leaderboard. I’m genuinely excited about opening the contest up to all Android owners."

Up, Down, Left, Right is now available from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.byronic.udlr for free. An iOS version will be available soon. 

Award-winning British indie developer and publisher, Playrise Digital Ltd, today announce that ‘Table Top Racing’, the hit micro combat racer, has turbo’ed though five million downloads and is continuing to attract new gamers as it prepares to launch on other stores and platforms.

“We’re very happy to have broken through the five million download mark,” said Nick Burcombe, CEO Playrise Digital. “Table Top Racing still has a huge year ahead with the Playstation Vita version arriving shortly and also the new ad-free ‘Gamer Edition’ arriving on Samsung’s Store and Amazon Kindle HD/HDX. We’re also bringing it to new Android based platforms imminently too. Here’s to the next five million!”

DISNEY AND MARVEL TEAM UP FOR SUPER-POWERED SEQUEL - DISNEY INFINITY 2.0: MARVEL SUPER HEROES

We all knew it was coming at some point and with Disney owning Marvel it was only a matter of time before the crossover was announced. Today we saw our first glimpse of Disney Infinity 2.0 and to say it looked impressive is something of an understatement. The gameplay that you can see below shows the evolution of the title of course this may be due to the fact the game will be appearing on the XboxOne and PS4. The first figure/characters shown are the Avengers who appeared in the recent film. Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk were all shown and you can see them in all their glory below.

“After our success with Chasing Yello, which was downloaded over 20.000.000 times worldwide we wanted to create a different kind of endless runner that has special appeal for a slightly different audience”, said Asbjoern Malte Soendergaard, CEO of Tactile Entertainment. “Skyline Skaters is an edgy game infused with just enough heart-pounding action to keep players on their toes, on their skateboards and away from the cops”!

In this adrenaline-fueled endless runner, players must avoid police capture and dangerous pitfalls between skyscrapers while trying to collect as many coins and power-ups as they can. Players can choose between four different characters - Matt, Christy, Barry and Mia - each with special abilities, such as triple jump, shield or grinding bonus. Skaters also have a choice of 25 different upgradeable skateboard types that also offer various bonuses in terms of score and how many coins can be collected. Special boards also have capabilities to increase the coin collection exponentially when skaters hit a streak of coins in-game, and others reward players based on how many friends they have. Skyline Skaters even has a special night/day cycle, which coincides with real time.

You can find out more by going to Tactile's home page here or wait for our review to be posted.
