GateRun Released!

Surprise! Our new game's out...John Weible's back doing the music, and Louise Via helped out with the art. The game's up on Newgrounds right now, so go play it! Then come back to read more.

It's unfair to call GateRun a Canabalt clone. The run 'n jump genre has recently become very big, and I had the idea to put a twist on it. In GateRun, you can't actually control your character directly. Instead, all that you can do is place the platforms for him to run on. The object is to make it through as many "gates" as possible without falling or missing three. It's a high-score game, which I told myself I wasn't going to make again after I finished Rebounced, but I decided to give it one more try.

I had Louise do the art for this game. She made a pretty cute main character, so we ran with it. It was actually done entirely with the mouse, so I'd say it's pretty darn good. Big thanks goes out to her.

And as always, John did great with the music. Don't forget to check him out johnweiblemusic.com

Keep checking back for updates!
