I'm a long time reader first time ...Hi Gareth,<br /><br />I'm a long time reader first time caller!<br /><br />Late last year my brother and I wrote our first retro inspired game called Pangaroids and put it on steam - for FREE so that everyone can enjoy. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1835040/Pangaroids/ <br /><br />Inspired by old school arcade classics (including Pang and Asteroids), Commodore 64 and Amiga 500 games, and a simpler time when games didn’t have to be hundreds of hours long, we’ve crafted a short game that we hope takes you back to that nostalgic time.<br /><br /><br />It's also old-school hard! Survive as long as you can while blasting bouncing balls, collecting high scoring powerups, and getting the highest score you can before you die. <br /><br />I wrote the music for the game, inspired by 8 bit games from my youth. I would love it if you could check it out and let me know what you think.<br /><br />Anyways, keep up the good work!<br /><br />Michal Wozniak<br />Adelaide, South Australia<br /> <br />MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747009199449714080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252607707470952959.post-77679108952348812692021-05-27T15:46:35.270+01:002021-05-27T15:46:35.270+01:00Interesting, thanks.

I bought this game after enjoying the first one and I went straight to this from finishing it! Having to replay the end of that again... twice...at the start of the sequel, was just too much for me, and so I never really progressed very far after that! It didn't quite grab me as much as the first one anyway, although I may give it another go someday if I find it cheap somewhere.....Deadpan Flookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071618440865533136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252607707470952959.post-34594388846638915422015-03-26T20:28:10.533+00:002015-03-26T20:28:10.533+00:00I really liked the first game in this series, but ...I really liked the first game in this series, but never got around to play any of the others.Tom Badguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450994667840450480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5252607707470952959.post-15367578799462486772015-03-22T11:51:22.201+00:002015-03-22T11:51:22.201+00:00It's certainly not action packed.
