Recently on Offworld
Recently on Offworld we played perhaps our new favorite dungeon exploring web-obsession, the cutely retro-modern Wayfarer, a rogue-like built entirely in Processing, and regurgitated rainbows (as above) at news that Toronto indie studio Capybara would be bringing their fantastic mobile puzzler Critter Crunch to the PlayStation 3 in full, hand-animated HD. Looking forward, we saw new videos of retro-future rhythm-pong game Bit.Trip: Core, Konami's downloadable Contra revival for the Wii, and a one-man-team Community game for Xbox 360 that's nothing if it isn't a combination of NES underdogs Bionic Commando and Blaster Master. Finally, we saw a Max/MSP hack that lets you control Super Mario Bros by voice, guitar and drums, watched geek culture cross all borders with a Romanian retro-game laden video, kickstarted a music project to recreate Miles Davis' Kind of Blue in chiptune style, and saw all 200+ 8-bit games never made for the Famicase exhibit in one interactive Flash piece. And the 'one shot's for the day: the sad sight of a middle aged Mario, and modern C64 demoscene artist Mirage's pixel montage, 1 UP - 1 DEAD.Share this post
