Bat n Ball – A Breakout / Arkanoid style game with something new to mix it all! (PC)

Sunday, 28 February 2021 by HAS Admin

If you remember Arkanoid; an arcade game first developed by Taito in 1986, with the bat like device scrolling from side to side at the bottom of the screen, bouncing an orb back and forth and smashing blocks for a high score. Then you might be interested to know Langford Productions has released Bat ‘n’ Ball; an Indie game which is inspired by that classic game but instead mixes it up with some rather cool features.

As noted by the description : BAT ‘N’ BALL is not only a Breakout / Arkanoid style game, but it brings new additions to the table such as 50 level brick-busting bonanzas with 100 screens, bonus levels, big scary bosses, angry aliens behind bricks that launch at you in frustration, extra balls, explosive bombs, bonus bubbles and much much more to make this a worthy download for PC(Windows).

Annalynn – A 2D platformer made in the style of arcade games from the early ’80s!

Tuesday, 02 February 2021 by HAS Admin

We’ve certainly had our fair share of Arcade games mentioned on Indie Retro News from Donkey Kong, to Kung Fu Master, and even Rygar. But another game has just caught our attention with a nostalgic nod to the past, and that’s Cruise Elroy’s Arcade game of ‘ Annalynn ‘; a highly recommended 2D platformer for PC(Windows) which has been made in the style of arcade games from the early ’80s. 

Play as Annalynn, the eponymous heroine who has to run, jump, and climb to outwit the four snakes: Randy, Handy, Candy, and Mike. Collect the coins, grab the bonus foods, and turn the tables with blinding rubies! The game features addictive gameplay, 16 rounds over 5 unique areas, graphics and sound faithful to early 80’s arcade games, 22 unlockable characters, local high score tables, and all of this with great feedback such as “I love this game and have played it a bunch” and “This game looks great”.

Well this came as a complete surprise to us and to be honest I’m very excited for it, as if you remember playing the great strategy city builders of Pharaoh and the expansion Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile by Sierra Entertainment. You’ll be overjoyed to learn that Triskell Interactive with publishing by Dotemu, will be remaking the game as a full graphical overhaul including 50 missions and over 100 gameplay hours and calling it Pharaoh: A New Era.

Immerse yourself in the history of Ancient Egypt with 50 missions and over 100 gameplay hours in Pharaoh: A New Era, a remake of Pharaoh (and the expansion Cleopatra: Queen of the Nile), one of the best city builders from the golden age of Sierra Entertainment. Stone by stone, build your city and manage all aspects of its development to ensure it prospers and makes you a powerful and revered Pharaoh.

Millie and Mollie – Catrap inspired C64 game now available for Android, iOS and Windows

Wednesday, 06 January 2021 by HAS Admin

Late last year we announced on Indie Retro News that Carleton Handley and Saul Cross was working on a rather lovely game for the C64 called ‘ Millie and Mollie ‘; a game which is not only inspired by the late 80’s to early 90’s game of Catrap, but also features moveable blocks, the swapping of characters to solve puzzles, and the use of time rewinding mechanics to undo your own mistakes. Well after finally appearing on the C64 not long ago, the team behind Millie and Mollie were pleased to announce this month the game had also been released for both Android, iOS and Windows based systems.

As the website description says : Featuring retro-inspired graphics and music across five themed zones, Millie and Molly will take you on an adventure like no other. PLUS, with no life counters and no timers, you can test your wits with none of the stress. If you make a mistake, simply use the rewind feature to try something else! So yes certainly a worthy release for puzzle gamers, and more so with a team behind the game such as Carleton Handley, Wah Kong, Patsy Chim, Saul Cross and Hans Axelsson-Svala!
