The Dead Pixel Live podcast talks with Camille Guermonprez from Arkedo Studio about how he started, the philosophy behind creating an independent game dev company and more. On a path that features mobile games, DS, and XBLIG, he outlines the joys and the pitfalls that come with being a indie developer in the game industry. With a pedigree of critically acclaimed games behind them, he talks about whats next for the Paris based studio.
Hardcore Gamer: The DS may have an extensive library of diverse games, but Big Bang Mini (no, there's not a regular-sized Big Bang) has shone brightest to me years after is inception. Arkedo's colorful shooter is hearkens back to a simpler time where high scores were king and flash was warranted. I happily revisit this title frequently, and it's time others did as well.
Daav from NoobFeed.com takes a last finishing look at the Arkedo Series trilogy with Pixel. The beloved dotted cat from Pix'n Love Rush returns in a fun little platformer with a twist.
Though this game could almost have been a PlayStation Mini, Pixel! is a fine PSN release, and one of those rare retro-themed games that is also very attractive to gamers who have come later to the party.
Man these games are so great and fresh, Arkedo rules! I love this serie! What a good move by Arkedo/Sony to release these on PSN too. Everybody should buy these little fellows! Classics especially Jump! and tons of fun!
