Rainbow Rapture has been out now on XBLIG for a couple of weeks and the response has been awesome. Here’s a few quotes from some of my favorite reviews:

“The juxtaposition of these really simple, pretty colours and the constant ranting of a primal God beast destroying the world really kicks a lot of ass.” – XboxHornet.

“Maybe – just maybe – ‘misanthropic cloud-rainbow’ will become a new archetype for video game protagonists. Here’s to hoping.” – GayGamer.

“80 MS points are a small price to pay for the pot of gold you’ll find at the end of this rainbow.” – VideoGamerRob.

“At 80 Microsoft Points, this game is a must download.” – Yet Another Gaming Show.

Hands down, though, my favorite review has got to be from TJ at Classic Game Room. I think he had as much fun with our goofy Rainbow concept as we did:

Psst. While everyone was distracted by E3, I snuck out some early screenshots of Kindling’s next game, now in development.

It’s just a normal, rainbow-filled day in the city…

Uh, hold on — what are you doing, Rainbow?

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.

We put the last bit of polish on Bumblepig — re-curled his tail, washed behind his ears, made a stop at the local haberdasher — and then we dropped him off for review. Now it’s up to the Xbox LIVE Indie Games community to make sure that the only bugs left in the game are the ones we meant to be there. (You know, the kind that buzz, not the kind that crash.) With luck, we’ll send Bumblepig out into the world this week… but if you want a sneak peak, check out our new trailer!

Kindling is back!

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.
