Puzzle Blazer

What is Puzzle Blazer? Well... Think of it as a melting pot of: Combo based combat, Speed running elements, RPG unlockables, Puzzles and talking animals?

This is a project that stemmed from the 48 hour LDJAM#43 which was our first attempt at game development. We've always been interested in game development and have been gaming since the Super Nintendo era. This game even though it was a rushed together idea for the LDJAM, stems from our background of playing a lot of oldschool, more traditional games. We wanted to combine different elements we liked from some of our childhood games such as:

*A sense of urgency and speed from games like Sonic

*Combo based action combat from the likes of Secret of Mana

*Various RPG elements like unlockable skills and buffs from Final Fantasy

Ofcourse those weren't the only games that inspired us, but those are some prime examples. Since the LDJAM#43 we've made massive improvements in the game's development and that is due to our overall development skill increasing. The programming by Hoodstrats is night and day. The Art has also been massively overhauled and improved by Eclipx3. We want this project to be our "flagship" into the industry, but just like every development cycle story there have been many rough patches throughout, slowing us down. With that being said, we have no intention of ending development, so keep an eye out for more news to come.
