Hitlers Must Die! Beta Footage
In: Gaming News|Indie|Web
18 May 2009Look: In-game beta footage of Hitlers Must Die!, the first track off Cryptic Sea’s upcoming game album, No Quarter. Seems to be coming together rather well! (Those shadows… *swoons*)
FATHOM, the latest collaboration of Adam “Atomic” Saltsman and Danny “B” Baranowsky, is your standard 2D action-platformer… or is it? The game throws some fun surprises your way, which I don’t want to spoil here, and is definite food for thought. I give it 33 thumbs up!
Like their hit Gravity Hook, FATHOM uses Adam’s Flixel framework for Flash-based 2D games to great effect. (The entire game took about 10 days to make.) Which is cool, because Flixel should see a public release “in a few weeks.” (!) There’s also a bunch of procedural trickery going on in the background which the player may not notice, but I think is worth mentioning in case Adam wants to talk about it more in the forum thread.
