Bundle over but life goes on

Thanks to everyone who bought and voted for Death Ray Manta in the recent Groupees promotion. You're wonderful!

Obviously we're still a way away from getting actually really Greenlit so please, tell all your friends, hit that yes button, tell people on the Twitters, the Facebooks and at the bus stop. Help get Death Ray Manta on Greenlight and we'll have Death Ray Manta for EVERYONE!

Ok, maybe not everyone. But more people, anyway.

New mobile ports

Thanks to kindly Mr Jeff at Psychic Parrot Games, Death Ray Manta is now available for iOS and Android. Obviously we couldn't squeeze all the graphics in from the desktop versions but we've worked hard to get them as nice as we possibly could within the limitations. They're cheap and fun! Just like me. The Android version is hot off the press...

New FAQ

So I don't have to answer all those questions frequently, it's an FAQ!

The Death Ray Manta FAQ

The making of Death Ray Manta

I'm slowly working my way through a series of articles on what Death Ray Manta is and how it came to be. The first two parts are up now, readyweedy!

The Making Of A Manta
The Manta Horror

Once again, thanks to everyone who's voted and helped us slowly climb the rankings. We need massively more votes to get right up there and be in with a chance so please, if you can, help us get up there and get on Steam and flash lights in the faces of the many.

Cheers,

Rob.

Bundle Harder With A Vengeance
Description
Release date: September 2012
This is Death Ray Manta


8/10 in Edge Magazine, 8/10 from Eurogamer with a spot at the 2012 Eurogamer Expo, 5/5 editors choice in Tap! Magazine, 4/5 from 148 Apps, 5/5 RGCD.

From the developer of the SYNSO series and creator of the challenge waves in Waves, Death Ray Manta is available for Windows and Mac, enjoying a successful run on iOS and now new to Android devices also.

Death Ray Manta is a pure arcade experience in the spirit of Eugene Jarvis and Jeff Minter, a brightly coloured tribute to the arcade game with a modern neon hue. With effects only possible through modern technology, Death Ray Manta harnesses the power of the modern PC to flash lights at people in lots of colours whilst staying true to the gameplay spirit of the arcade.

Can you score 64?

Vote yes to get Death Ray Manta on Steam

The light displays are something else, too: you’re born, each round, in the midst of a blizzard of rainbow particles, and your foes fragment in a rich neon shower under impact, staining the 2D world with their reds, greens, purples and pinks. The background shifts and warps as the game projects endless LED bursts of encouragement, and the relentlessly euphoric soundtrack only adds to the over-powering atmosphere. 8/10

It’s looking rather beautiful.

The game is perfect for pick up and play, and has plenty of satisfying fast-paced action and insanity to be definitely worth checking out.

Originally posted by Eurogamer:
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, but thankfully we can now consign this ugly initialism to the funeral pyre of justice. Burn! And rise, Death Ray Manta, a googly-eyed Elasmobranchii that shoots lasers, kills things, and would never dream of restricting your access.

Originally posted by RGCD:
Explosions are wonderful novae of light and flare and with it being a laser spam arena blaster there's explosions EVERYWHERE by a few stages in. Our goggle eyed manta hero pukes electric death fire as an unseen narrator passes textual comment on the bottom of the screen: "Please Sir, I cannot tell a lie. DEATH RAY MANTA hit a pink robot in the face with a laser"

What exactly does the whole "Hail Satan!" thing mean?

*amount - nearly got through that without spelling mistakes. Nearly.

@GomBas because they have a minimum amonut to earn before they pay out and I doubt I'd reach that minimum in a hurry.Whilst they have that policy in place I'm afraid I can't in good faith support that.
