Ace Mathician is GOTY 2012!


I have some really awesome news today! Ace Mathician got voted Game Of The Year over at Nintendolife.com in the DSiWare category.

I'm extremely happy with this because when I shopped Ace around with publishers, most of them turned it down thinking math in videogames is stupid. Luckily, Circle Entertainment trusted me and together (they where a big help, especially Chris) we build a amazing little game.. in fact, it is my highest rated game so far (average review is 80%)

I also got a lot of nice words from fans about this game (even some cool fan art), the fact that this award is won because you guys voted on the game makes it all the more special for me! So I want to thank everybody who voted and or bought the game! you guys make my job awesome!

And Chris... thanks again for the trust in all us indie developers, a publisher like Circle really makes a difference... let’s hope Color Commando will do just as good :)

Color Commando for DSiWare


 
Okay, as you might have seen on the little sneak peak over at Nintendolife.com , I have been working very hard on a new DSi-Ware (really guys, this is the last one!) game!

And now is the time to share a bit more info about this awesome puzzle platform game. I do this through a new website : http://www.goodbyegalaxygames.com/colorcommando

The website has screenshots and a lot of info about the game which is coming out somewhere early 2013 for around 200 points!

I worked really hard on the game for the past few weeks, and I’m happy that most of the work is done and I can finally go take a xmas break! I’m off to Hungary to celebrate with my girlfriends family and I will meet up with some of the local (hey ph0x) indie developers over there!

Ace Mathician cabinet!


 
The pixel artists of Ace Mathician, Danny Flexner,  build this amazing Ace Cabinet! It was used for an open-day of his school to show off various work created by the students. According to Danny the game got a lot of attention from the visitors!
