Broforce – A Manly Game for Manly Men, or Women. Every now and then a game comes out that stands above the rest. Broforce is that game. It’s got a retro feel, it’s exciting, Original and very tongue in cheek, and extremely manly (just like myself). Broforce is a side-scrolling run-and-gun platform game developed by Free Lives. Development began in April 2012 as a Ludum Dare game jam entry, entitled “Rambros” and it won first prize for being the most fun, development then continued and it eventually got a final…

Space Invaders, a true cult classic
By Jonni Hirst When i was eight years old Star Wars and Superman the movie had only recently been released, and this is when Star Wars was just Star Wars, and not “a new hope”, and Christopher Reeves was playing Superman for the first time. But for me nothing could top, getting to play Space Invaders for the first time. It was truly magical to be alive as a child during the late Seventies. I feel very fortunate because I have witnessed how computer games have evolved over the years…

What is your first gaming experience? My first gaming experience was World of Illusion Starring Mickey and Donald on the Sega Megadrive. It was a great co-op game experience. One of my teammates on the other hand, had his first gaming experience on a 386 computer playing educational games. What got you into programming games? I was introduced to Macromedia Flash in Secondary School – that probably sparked an interest in making interactive things. My lack of programming knowledge meant that I often couldn’t make what I wanted. I later…

Update 2 14/07/16 Over the past six months or so, we’ve been working on simplifying the game to make it more playable on mobile devices. The game is now more of a “runner” style game where you have basic tilt-controls for speed and the ability to jump and slide. Also, we’ve added the concept of collecting memorabilia in order to rescue each year of the decade. So as you play, you’ll be collecting cassettes, VHS tapes and video game cartridges from that year. Once you’ve collected enough, you save that…
