Big News Update + Help Us Beta Test An Upcoming Game?
🕑 Added 2023-08-16 18:42:50 +0000 UTCHello Patrons,
If you've followed us for more than a couple years, you'll know that we rarely work on a single thing at any given time. While almost all of the noise we make publicly (and privately to you all) relates to Dino Run 2, for the past year or so we've been quietly tinkering with many other things behind the curtain. And now it's time to slowly start pulling back that curtain. But first, a little backstory...
Our roots have always been in browser gaming - Dino Run started as a free flash game, and everything we made up to 2012 or so was browser-oriented. As Flash slowly rode into the sunset, our focus drifted to mobile, and then desktop where we currenty reside. However, the call to make small & quirky browser experiences has always stayed with us. And now, with the help of the same silent partner that accelerated Dino Run 2 development this year, we are almost ready to reveal to the world our next major move: an arcade website dedicated to browser games, made only by us. The exact details of how it will look and work are still not final, but we have 4 games coming up that will be the initial offerings, and here's a peek:
We've been working on these games with a different team than the one dedicated to Dino Run 2 - both operate independently at the same time, so neither one takes from the other. We have something big to reveal to all of you for Dino Run 2 soon as well.
But in the meantime, we'd like your help testing a new game!
CORNHOLE HERO
Any of you that live in the USA have probably heard of cornhole, and besides having a name that makes you giggle, it's a very fun backyard activity that pairs well with grilled food and cold cannned drinks. The game does not feature drinks or grills (yet?), but does have a dude throwing a beanbag (cornbag) into a hole over and over again, in various ways.
So without further ado, please go test it:
http://www.pixeljam.com/cornholehero/
It should work on desktop as well as mobile devices.
Some things to note:
- Do a flicking gesture to throw the cornbag (with a mouse, button down starts the throw, button release throws the bag). Flicking works best on a touchscreen though.
- Send us feedback in one of 3 ways:
- Email to pixeljamgames@gmail.com, put [CORNHOLE HERO FEEDBACK] in the subject so it can be filtered and tracked properly.
- If you use discord (https://discord.gg/JM2MMUf), you should have the patron role (DM me if you don't, I'm pixeljam_miles), and there is a new channel in the ARCADE category: cornhole_hero. When giving feedback, put [FEEDBACK] in your message so it can be tracked easily as well.
- In the comments to this post.
Here's the important part! When launched, all of the arcade games will be available and ad-free for every backer, patron & funder. It's our way of saying thanks for all the support and patience over the years :)
Looking forward to showing you all the other games in due time. Have fun with Cornhole Hero and let us know what you think so far...
