Wolfgang Wozniak (Ouren on TIGS) discusses Magic Planet Snack Deluxe! (ã€Œãƒžã‚¸ãƒƒã‚¯ãƒ—ãƒ©ãƒãƒƒãƒˆã‚¹ãƒŠãƒƒã‚¯ã€ãƒ‡ãƒ©ãƒƒã‚¯ã‚¹)

The hook: You’re a wizard who’s spell went awry, and you’re now a planet munching space-worm. Your name is Mortimer.





Release info: The game will be releasing on PlayStation Mobile (Vita!). The game will be $3.00 USD and will be available on August 20th in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, the US, and Japan.

Screenshot info: The player is starting the game, and playing as Mortimer. The wizard is eating his way to the core of the planet to defeat its Gaia.

Earlier iterations? There were not a lot of major changes we made to the original freeware game when porting it to PlayStation Mobile. You’ll notice that when playing in landscape mode (aka hamburger mode), that there is now additional side-art. That scrolling cabinet art is by the original developer, Mr. Kyle Reimergartin.



The devs and tech behind the screens: We used LICEcap (shoutouts!) to capture the gif (above). Original development was done by Kyle. Cass Carpendale and myself brought the game to PlayStation Mobile. We had access to the original source code, art, and audio. We actually didn’t use any of the old code (or look at it all!). The game was made, in I guess what you might call a Suzuki Method.

The selection process: I wanted to capture sort of a “tutorial” style gif. One look at this gif, and you’ll know how to play the entire game.

Pay it forward. What game caught your eye this week?



I am in love with this art from TIGS member Chis’s Carousel.
