Polyspice status update

Polyspice status update

Published by Mr. Tabu on 24th November 2021

As you have probably noticed, it have been a bit quiet for a while with releases and such from Polyspice. And that might have you thinking. Are they still alive, is things still going strong? And the answer to this is “YES!” We are still here, and we are still going strong, we are just in a state where we are trying out a few new options, and figuring out what we want to work on. This post is a status on Polyspice and what we are currently working on.

I will be trying to come with some bi-weekly updates on what we are working on, and what the progress is on our current projects, and in general “we are alive”.

So, what have we been up to since last update on Planet Rabbit and Food Fight ?

Guild Master Simulator

First, we started a bigger project called “Guild Master Simulator” – and we spend a few month on this project, before we realized that this project was too big, it was set on pause, and we moved on to the next project. There is a lot that can be said about this project, but I will leave that for another time and another blogpost. So the status of Guild Master Simulator, is that it is currently put on ice.

A concept for the game “Guild Master Simulator” that never came to be, or at least not for now.

Oops Poops

So what is the new project you might ask? Well, we were unsure if this was to much, but the name of the game is “Oops Poops”, a game about a piece of poo and its travels towards the ocean, and this is a real challenge. We want to make something that is fun, without being disgusting, something that gives the player a smile while playing.

Without going in to much details about the new game, I can reveal, that it will be a game of quick reaction, as you control the happy little poop through the pipes leading to the ocean.

We are looking very much forward to share more about this fantastic fun little game with the world, and also a bit scared, if we are going to be able to pull it off, making it as fun in reality, as it is in our heads.

If you have any comments or ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us on our Discord channel, were we are always listening.

Published by Daniel Rosales on 8th May 2020

Bunny Service announcement

Help is on the way, I repeat, HELP IS ON THE WAY. In this time of emergency,  remember to keep calm, stock up on carrots, and download plenty of Polyspice mobile games. No rabbit is to leave their hutch until the evacuation rocket arrives.

We’re happy to announce Planit Rabbit Open Beta Release. The game is designed to keep you entertained, so as you get better at controlling your rocket you will be able to outsmart the enemy missiles, perfect your landing, and venture to the harder parts of the level, where you will experience the thrill of perfecting your cave control abilities.
Experience then the satisfaction of navigating through a cave system, rescuing the rabbits, and returning them to the home base without a single incident.

We have a lot of plans for the future of Planit Rabbit. As for now, what we can tell you is that you can expect a whole new planet very soon.

Until then, we’re hoping you enjoy all of Planit Rabbit Open Beta Release features: 

  • Multiple space rockets to unlock;
  • Dangerous cannon towers;
  • Treacherous space doors;
  • Refueling platforms;
  • Repair platforms;
  • Beautiful environments;

This is the first Planit Rabbit Open Beta Release. As a small indie development company, we are excited and scared at the same time. Download the game for free on the App Store or Play Store and try it out! We hope you have a great time and don’t forget to leave a review if you do. 

Recommended Game – Galaxy-Sky ShootingGalaxy-Sky Shooting recommendation

Recommended Game – Galaxy-Sky Shooting

Published by Sean L. Akins on 5th July 2019

If you’re like me and have been playing video games for the better part of the past 25 years, mobile games are a hard sell. Which is why a game like Galaxy-Sky Shooting is so good.  Published by Ivy, his game is a top-down space shooter, pure and simple with very generous hit detection and multiple modes of play, including an endless mode, a boss fight mode, and a campaign with 210 (as of writing this) levels. 

Download: Play Store, App Store.

Graphics

Galaxy-Sky Shooting Graphics

Galaxy Sky Shooting is a modern game.  All the sprites are modern, all the text is large and easy to read, and everything looks like it was made today.

Sound

Galaxy Sky Shooting most definitely has a modern sound design.  The music is very much a modern electronic soundtrack, all the explosions sound modern, and all the bullets sound like they were made today. Even the voice samples have a clear sound to them.

Gameplay

Galaxy Sky Shooting is in a genre that requires precision to dodge fire and hit enemies, but thankfully, it is very generous with hitboxes. No matter how wide the ship is, only the middle section where the cockpit would be is the hitbox for you.  So, as long as you keep that section out of the fire, you’re good. And since the weapons autofire, all you need to do is concentrate on dodging and lining up your shots.

Ads and in-game purchases

The only downside of Galaxy-Sky Shooting that I can say is the ad policy and microtransactions.  Ads are frequent; they happen between levels, and sometimes between switching menus.  However, once you’ve viewed enough of these mandatory ads, you are given the options to tell the game that no, you don’t want to view ads, and they either let you pay to remove them permanently with a one-time fee, or view one more ad to remove them for the day. That does not count toward the ads that let you double your rewards, though. Those are still available.

Microtransactions, however, are extremely prevalent.  You can buy all the different currencies, as well as new starships, more rolls on the upgrade wheel, and so much more.  Thankfully, there’s only one ship that you’re locked out of permanently if you don’t buy their VIP upgrade.

Galaxy-Sky Shooting final analysis

Galaxy-Sky Shooting is in a genre that is mindless fun, and when you combine good control and reasonable hitboxes, a game like Galaxy Sky Shooting can be a blast. It’s great for a short round or two while on the bus or train, and it’s also good for “Oh, one more round” gameplay when you’re on your own. While not perfect thanks to the overbearing ad policy, space shooters are a perfect fit for mobile devices because they make full use of what mobile devices have to offer.  If you want to toss a couple of bucks their way to remove ads permanently, that’s up to you, but otherwise, it’s a great free mobile experience that you don’t want to miss out on.

Published by Mr. Tabu on 10th April 2019

We are now at a stage where Beat Cancer is about ready to be released.

Play-testing and balancing the game ourself for quite a while now, but you know how it is, balancing what you have been creating is rather difficult, because, you know… we made it and know how to play it 😉

What we really need is to hear from anybody, where the game is to difficult, if weapons are overpowered, if commercials are worth clicking (it wont show any actual commercials while in test, but please pretend it does when you click the buttons 😉 )

So, I will leave the links where you can download and play the game for both Android and iPhone.
For iPhone go here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/XmGwFvuV
For Android go here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.Polyspice.BeatCancer

We love you if you help us out.. and if you do not.. well, then we still love you.. so nothing to loose 😉

Game features: 

  • Tap action, finger punch those obnoxious cells
  • 5 Different weapons: Finger, Walls, Bombs, cannons, and rockets.

Leap On!

Published by Mr. Tabu on 1st February 2019

Polyspice recommendations

Polyspice game recommendations is taking games that we have been playing here, and then recommending it to whoever wants to try something new. We do not write about games that are not good in one way or another, so, you won’t waste time reading a review, that concludes that you should not try the game 🙂

Leap On! – Overview

“Leap on!” is a game with beautiful and smooth mechanics that will allow you to make some awesome leaps in no time.

You play as a bouncy ball that bounces on moving objects crushing them as you go, each time you touch with your finger, the ball will move in the clockwise direction, and you have to make it bounce on the other balls without hitting the middle of the level. This game is tons of fun, there are many upgrades to grab while leaping that will help you beat your previous high score. 

If you manage to score 250 points you will unlock the Daily Tournament Mode that is a lot harder and quite challenging.

We played this game around the time of the Chinese New Year and it themed accordingly which made it even more interesting.

I highly recommend this game.

Price and Advertisement

The game is free but there are some ads when you lose and want to start a new level. You can always buy a “No Ads” version of this game that will allow you to leap on uninterrupted.

Parent guide

This is a perfect game for kids and adults that want a simple, fast relaxing game. Leap on and try to beat your previous high score. I have been doing this quite a bit with this game.

Retro Shooting

Retro Shooting

Published by Mr. Tabu on 2nd November 2018

Polyspice recommendations

This month we are recommending “Retro Shooting” and fun and engaging game, that will keep you on your toes, and make sure that you are entertained.

With polyspice game recommendations, we take the best game that we played during the passed month and tell you a bit about it. We do not write about games that are not good in one way or another, so, you won’t waste time reading a review, that concludes that you should not try the game 🙂

“Retro shooting” – Overview

“Retro shooting” is an old-school version of the good old “Shoot ’em Up” type of “Bullet hell” game, that originates from the old “Space Invader” and “Centipede”.

You control a spaceship, that is constantly firing bullets, and by dragging your finger around, you control the spaceship. There are 3 power-ups that can be used in the game. A rapid-fire mode, a “Bomb” that clears all bullets from the screen, and gives damage to everything, and then lastly, there is a shield that can be enabled so that the player becomes invulnerable for a short period of time.

The Objective of the game is to avoid being hit by the bullets and shoot as many enemies as possible. Some levels have a boss fight at the end.

Price and Advertisement

Although the game can be played completely without watching advertisements, or using money at all. There are times where watching an advertisement is designed in such a way, that you as a player, do not mind watching it for the reward it gives you. Its almost as if you feel that the value fits the price (the price of watching an advertisement)

It is possible to unlock new spaceships, with different abilities, however, some of these spaceships can only be either unlocked for a limited number of plays, or by paying a rather hefty sum of “real” money with prices as high 10 EURO. Some of these ships will give overall bonuses to all other ships, but each ship is rather expensive.

Parent guide

There is neither violence nor cursing or types of gambling in this game. It is a clean-cut, action-packed and family-friendly game, that kids of any age should be able to play. I highly recommend playing this game with your children. There is no multiplayer game type, but sitting together and playing this with your kids is a bunch of fun.

Stupid soldiers, now more stupider

Stupid soldiers, now more stupider

Published by Mr. Tabu on 20th November 2017

First of, thank you to all the people who helped me test and gave me feedback on the first iteration of my minigame “Stupid Soldiers”. Based on your feedback, I have updated the game a bit.

You can play the updated version of the game here

First of, there is now a new kind of stupid in the game, the “Rock monster”

The rock monster is slow but have a high health and hits hard and expensive.

Apart from that, some gameplay changes have been made, here is a selected few.

  • There is now 3 soldiers to spawn on each tier
  • It is only possible to have 10 monsters on the level at a time
  • Defensive towers can now be destroyed
  • There is 3 tiers instead of 2
  • The AI have been improved (It is still my first ever, so it is still a bit weak)

And many small balancing fixes.

It is still possible to play the game here

If you liked the game (Or if you did not like the game 🙂 ) please leave some feedback in my Facebook group
