r0x (Extended Play) Update!

30 October, 2014 - rgcd.co.uk

After checking out a few videos of people playing r0x EP, two things became clear:

* It's not obvious for first time players that the ammo is limited.
* The difficulty cap was set too low.

So we've fixed these (and a few other bugs too)! The game difficulty ramp has been noticeably tweaked; the further you fly into the meteor storm, the more enemies appear per wave and the more they fire, plus the rock-density algorithm has been given a rework too. Also, the first time you play the game, the tutorial (also rewritten) shows automatically - but it can of course be skipped. We just wanted people to know that it is there if they get stuck ;)

Oh, this update also prepares the game for the Amazon FireTV too.

r0x (Extended Play) Post-Mortem

19 August, 2014 - rgcd.co.uk

Just finished typing up a post-mortem for r0x (Extended Play), looking back at the past two weeks since launch. Oh, and we're at 19% of the way to the top 100 now :)

Description

Release date: 07/08/2014

More avoid-em-up than traditional shmup, r0x (Extended Play) is a simple arcade game where ammo is scarce and you are rewarded generously for taking risks and flying dangerously. Graze rocks, bullets and enemies to recharge your cannon and thrust at breakneck speed through the deadly meteor storm to rack up an epic score!

r0x EP is an enhanced remake of RGCD and NoExtra’s 2009 Atari STE game r0x, and was initially released at the Sundown Demoparty 2014. Developed over the course of two months by a core two-man team, r0x EP improves on the original game by introducing a wide range of Proximan renegade scum to battle, nine objective based 2-4 player vs modes and brutal astronaut zero-g wrestling! ;)

r0x EP features:

Thrusting!
Grinding!
Two single player modes with separate high score tables, and nine local multiplayer modes!
Achievements system and player statistics!
Algorithmic level generation!
Seven track user-selectable OST composed entirely on an Amiga 1200 by demoscene musician h0ffman!
Awesome artwork by Tikipod and Vierbit!
Xbox 360 controller support!

If greenlit, r0x EP will remain 100% free and we'll incorporate Steam achievements and (possibly) online score tables. The game will also be made available for Linux and Mac.

You can download the Windows and Ouya/Android versions of r0x EP for free from the itch.io page at http://rgcddev.itch.io/r0x-extended-play

Discovered this game because, somehow, I ended up at the "Pan-Dimensional Conga-Combat" video.

Saw "r0x" in the related videos, ended up loving both games! :P

Nice work! Beautiful game!
