I’m writing this to make a brief update, and extend a warm thank you for everyone’s support. Offender 2 has been featured/written about on Indie Statik, and Bit Maiden. This is amazing! Both of these places are really cool review sites, with a great indie game selection. They are definitely worth checking out. I have been writing editors of online publications. Maybe I’ll (eventually) compile a list of places that feature indie games so as to help other people doing the same. After you’re done (solo) creating your game (which is a lot of work already), you promote it (which...

The trailer for Offender 2 is now live, and on the game’s website. It turned out better than expected, and has a little look/feel from Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove trailer. It’s a bit of a nod to it. I loved that movie. Overall it’s exactly what I wanted. More of a stand-alone miniature animation, with a story and script, than an outright trailer. Download the .mov HERE. You can also view the full quality .swf version in all its lossless vector glory HERE. Which I recommend. If you haven’t done so already, play the game!

Official Launch! It’s live! CLICK HERE TO PLAY It seems like I’ve been working on this forever, and this is one of the largest, most complex projects I’ve done… I created this game all on my own… saying it almost feels like an understatement. I want to grab you by your shirt collar, violently shake you, and say “No! You just don’t understand!” The endeavor involved creating the engine (coding, debugging), creating the artwork, animating the artwork, then producing music, sound, and voice acting for it (all my voice as well). I’m particularly proud of the music. I composed it...

I am excited to say that the game is now DONE! I’ve moved production to the website and trailer. The website is well underway also, with quotes from notable and highly respected representatives of the Extraterrestrial community, who support the game (and its cause). Needless to say, I will be launching soon! Click here for desktop background. Remember Defender; that popular arcade shooter of the 1980’s? Well, how do you think we Aliens felt about it? Sponsored by The Intergalactic Foundation For Non-Anthropomorphic Rights, Offender is a game made from the Alien’s point of view. Note: As a consequence of...

I am thrilled to announce that Haxed By Megahurtz (the mobile version) has passed the review process with Apple, and is now live on the App Store. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD! This version is special, and has a lot of new features that make it worth buying, or buying an iPhone for (if you don’t already have one). Haxed By Megahurtz is tripware, meets interactive sound-toy, blended with today’s internet hyper-stimuli and humor. It’s pop-culture-as-game that pulls the player in the middle of an absolutely absurd situation that eventually leaves one feeling like the internet just exploded. It takes place...

The game Offender is going on sale for FREE on the App Store from this Friday till next. Grab it, play it, love it! Click here! Haxed By Megahurtz will be coming soon to iEverything as well (I’ve already opened a new directory with some code bits/pieces for it, here). After which I will resume development on Offender 2 (World War B: War On Rabbits). I’m developing that, between Apple’s review process, while porting everything to iOS. It’s exciting, to say the least. Thanks for playing! –Tetrageddon Games Screenshots of the upcoming Offender 2 (World War B: War On Rabbits)

Click to buy! – For $0.99! I recently ported the game Offender to iOS (tutorial here). It is now available in the App Store for purchase on your iPhone, or iPad. The game has gone through a bit of an overhaul (remastered, so to say), with improved functionality, and game-play. It’s a lot funner on touch screen. You could say it’s meant to be played there. The game is very challenging, and “arcade”. If you buy it proceeds will go the the next Tetrageddon Games release Offender 2 (World War B: War On Rabbits). (Game Over Screen for Offender 2)...
