Happy 2012! Ring in the new year and the impending end times with Rainbow Rapture on Xbox Live Indie Games! It’s the same apocalyptic good fun from WP7 but now with more green A buttons! Click here to download the demo (and spare yourself the trouble of finding the Indie Game section in the new Xbox dashboard).
…Oh hey, guys. Remember that Mango update for Rainbow Rapture we’ve been promising? Didn’t you hear? We released it last week! Here’s what WPCentral had to say about it: **SPOILER ALERT** We love you!
In this very special Mango flavored update we:
Our first update for Rainbow Rapture is now live! Here’s a list of all the stuff we did:
Now that we’ve got that out of our system, we’re busy working on our next update. I’ll give you a sneak peek:
That’s right. Prepare to be challenged.
The believers have been counting down to this day and it has finally arrived. Proof that rainbows are truly of divine origin!
Rainbow Rapture is now available for free on Windows Phone 7! Get it here: click me!
If you don’t have a Windows Phone 7, there’s no need to despair… yet. We’ll be unleashing Rainbow on Xbox LIVE Indie Games soon.
Okay, it took me a while to sit down and write this — it was a busy day at work, and then I had to cook dinner, and — look, that’s not the point. The point is, Bumblepig is out on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace now. In fact, it’s been out for like 10 hours. Why haven’t you downloaded it already??? Go get your very own copy here — and if you feel like giving the game a handful of stars while you’re at it, that would be even more awesome of you.
It’s been a while since we made an appearance on the internet, so let’s recap what was lost from the old Kindling site, update you on our future plans, and lay down some ground rules for this new endeavor.
Recap:
A couple years ago we made Hieronymus Bash and released it on Xbox Live Indie Games. It was really fun to make and play. It got a few hundred downloads and a write up in a legitimate gaming magazine (OXM), and then disappeared into the ever expanding XBLIG library. The end.
Future plans:
We’ve got a new XBLIG game on the way… “bumblepig” is very nearly done. We’ve also started up a new Windows Phone 7 game. We’ll post more about both of these soon.
Ground rules for the new site:
1) We are going to post regularly. Updates on our current projects, all the prototypes we made since HB shipped, random thoughts on the development process… This time we mean it.
2) If you are going to make mean comments on our posts they must be funny.
3) Lists include 3 items.
So welcome to the new Kindling site. Feel free to attach yourself to one of our social networking tentacles to stay updated, or drop us a line directly if want to share some constructive feedback on one of our games (or some comedic haranguing).
See you soon. And remember: You are a shining star.
