Midnight City’s PAX East Debut
April 8, in the year of
our Lord 2014 -- Midnight City is on tour and headed to
Boston for PAX East 2014. Here’s a breakdown of the booths, the
games and all the goodness we’re bringing to the show. Stop by
for a drink and a high five, play our games, and meet the
dedicated teams behind them. All the details below!
High Strangeness – Barnyard Intelligence – Midnight City Booth
#996
High Strangeness is a hybrid of 8 and 16 bit games - a 12 bit
Adventure – pulling inspiration from classic Action-Adventure
games of yesteryear – focusing on item-based progression for
abilities. The gameplay and aesthetics are driven by surreal
transitions between 8 and 16 bit worlds, where the player uses
their generational differences to solve puzzles and explore the
universe.
Organic Panic – Last Limb, LLC – Last Limb Booth #398
Organic Panic pitches a quirky band of fruit and veg against a
legion of heavily armed meat and cheese cronies. Features fully
destructible environments, players must master the physics and
abilities of each hero to burn, burrow, flood or crush their way
to a solution and victory! In-game level editor enables players
create and share their own content.
Avalanche 2: Super Avalanche – Beast Games – Midnight City Booth
#996
One of the PAX 10 from PAX Prime 2013
Avalanche 2: Super Avalanche is a sequel to the hit flash game
Avalanche, a frantic and addictive 2D climbing platformer for
PC. This upgraded version brings new cooperative gameplay for
two players and over 100,000 combinations of powerups and
personalizations to collect and experiment with. Mix and match
abilities for some crazy combos that will send you rocketing to
the heavens, or plummeting to your doom.
Krautscape – Mario von Rickenbach – Midnight City Booth #996
Just launched on Steam Early Access!
Featuring hybrid bird-like flying cars and color-soaked
racetracks in the sky, Krautscape shows off developer Mario
Rickenbach’s keenly unique perspective towards tactical racing -
by giving his cars wings. Players can jump off the track and
glide through open air to avoid obstacles and collect special
items. Driver-pilots then return to the dynamically generated
track to gain speed and score points to win, creating a tension
and balance all its own.
VIDEOBALL – Action Button Entertainment – Midnight City Booth
#996
VIDEOBALL is a minimalist electronic sport. It is casual in that
it uses only one stick and one button and you can play it while
hanging out with your friends who do not normally play games. It
is hardcore in that if you are good at it you and your opponents
will scream and you will scream too, because your opponents are
screaming.
“HEY! What else are those crazy Midnight City kids up to at PAX
