Frog The Door Games

Space Racer's been out for less than a week and I've been getting some great feedback. Since release I've been working on an update to address some issues people have with the game, the main one being the game's length. So for the first update I'll be adding some new bonus tracks that will be unlocked when you beat all 12 of the main tracks. I'll also be addressing some of the 2 player oddities that are present including the loser getting booted out of the first race when playing all tracks in a circuit. Also, you'll now have the ability to pick the same ship when playing a 2 player race.

I'd also like to thank 1uporpoison.com for holding a contest giving away free codes of the game. Congratulations to the winners, sleepydumbdude, Doug, and philliplynx! Check the comments in the Space Racer review and you'll see they've left a code to get Alawishus Pixel for free. The first one to enter the code wins!

If you don't already get Xbox Indie reviews from GameMarx.com or listen to their fantastic podcast about indie games be sure to start now! This week they're giving away a free code for Space Racer! If you missed the contest, no worries. Watch the GameMarx video review show this Monday and there will be another chance to get a code. Regardless, you should be checking out all the content on GameMarx as they're a highly entertaining bunch. In addition to the reviews, their game search app is also a great way to visually narrow down a list of games with custom attributes you might have. If you're into Xbox Indie Games and haven't seen their website, you're missing out. Leave a comment or send a message and let 'em know you're out there!

If you've played Space Racer and would like to review it here's a couple of websites that allow user reviews.
Xblaratings.com lets users review and rate all Xbox Live Arcade and Indie games.
Popupgamer.com is another review site with user generated content. Rate and review any game on any system!

Check back here for more news and I'll be sure to post when the update is up!

I sure hadn't planned to spend so much time in development with this game but what can I say, I like the polish. A game is, after all, only done when it's done. You can pick it up here or directly on the Xbox 360 marketplace for 80 MS points. Up next it's back to Old School Hero double time now. Doing a racing game was fun but platforming and action games are really where my passions lie. What I got from Space Racer was the much more robust level editor that I needed and a few more experience points in game development. As a result OSH will be better for it. Stay tuned for more...

Well it's been longer than expected but Space Racer is just about finished. I'll be going into peer review today or tomorrow and hope to pass onto the market place soon. Expect an announcement here when the game goes live as well as updates to what's in store for the next game (Old School Hero). In addition, I'm planning a much needed website overhaul perhaps this time free from the chains of Weebly.
