Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a sperm. The tail physics look awesome, and the game in general, but the head is too much; maybe it could look more like a jellyfish or squid or something.

Looks cool, Loving it already. Just looked at the Audio, love track one but the high pitched ending goes on for too long.

Haruspex: Actually, Jetpack Bronto was left out because we should be rolling out new branding/logos for it later this week (we never got around to doing “real” ones)…

Naming, in my mind, what the tentacle creature looks to me caused me to also realize my own reason for the title of the game. It’s looking great. I’m glad you chose to show the dev screen. Watching the variables and collision boxes is very entertaining. Good luck guys!

By the way, it’s interesting how you mention your “big name” games, MCS and ORVS, but leave out my favorite: Jetpack Brontosaurus :(

We’ll have some more Blush info soon–our internal target is to have a roughly playable game by the end of next week (so we have plenty of time to produce things, instead of answer questions about what to do).

The remaining Blurst features–leaderboards, achievements, etc–are planned sometime soon. It was supposed to happen over the holiday break, but unfortunately life got in the way and killed a lot of my time. Whoops! The near-term launch will cover the placeholder content, and then a second launch will happen in April with forums and new stuff.

Great news! A new game from FBS is always something to keep an eye on…
Can’t wait to see more info before the grand finale (which goes for the game’s release).

Btw, i keep checking/pressing register every time i open Blurst, just in case. Any hint on when the big bang will take place?

Keep up the good work……

Can’t wait to play it.

(The above comment looks weird because it’s a trackback.)

Vimeo is blocking independent game studios, same happened for 2D Boy and Wolfire, guess you guys should use the old fashion youtube? it has HD now anyway. About the concept, sounds cool but is the player growing in size when collecting powers?
