Recent press

Friday, November 13th, 2009

While we work on the next patch, we thought we’d update the blog with some recent Eufloria press.

Area5 gave us a lovely section on CO-OP. There’s like 9 minutes on Eufloria here. It’s really an honour to have this kind of time with the ex-1up crew. Great stuff, thanks guys! I think you missed out on some of the interface basics though ;)

Firebrand Radio have a review of Eufloria in episode 6 of Just Press Start :) Great show guys :) “Eufloria is well worth the price for such a unique and enjoyable experience.”

Eurogamer gave us a three-page-long review, written by Jon Blyth. It is fantastic to see mainstream news sites offer this much space to humble indie games like ours. Blyth rated us 5/10, although he said that depending on your point of view it could be as low as a 4 or as high as a 7. Quotes: “A beautiful, thoughtful curiosity.”; “It’s an experience that you’ll enjoy, rather than a coherent and satisfying game.”

Games Radar gave us 8/10! – “smart, beautiful and compelling”; “Eufloria is a tough, intelligent and genuinely exciting strategy game.”

JayIsGames give us 4.8/5! - “Eufloria is a beautiful experience that will really grow on you.” – pun intended i hope ;)

BigDownload say you MUST OWN this game – “one of the best games, indie or otherwise, this year.”

Press reactions!

EDIT: Wow, we have been getting some really nice reviews and comments! Here are some amazing quotes:

Boing Boing: “it’s truly in a league of its own”

Rock Paper Shotgun: “The game is as stylish and as soothing as a this kind of game has ever been”

PC Zone on Twitter: “It’s good and you should buy it.”

Charge Shot: “Eufloria is one of the best indie games you’ll play this year – in fact, even if you removed “indie” from that statement, it’s still pretty much true.”

It is fantastic to get such nice writeups I must say. :-)

Dyson on Bytejacker!

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Now this is very nice. Anthony Carboni and co. host a web show dedicated to reviewing and promoting indie games, and the show does it with gusto and a nice professional sheen. It is called BYTEJACKER and I have embedded the current episode at the top of this post.

They genuinely love games and review them fairly, in my opinion, so I decided to drop them a line about Dyson the other day. As it turned out they knew the game anyway and decided to include it in the current Monday episode. The Monday episode introduced three different free indie games, people can then go on an play them an vote for the one they like best on the Bytejacker blog. The THURSDAY show will then take the game with most votes and review it in more detail as the “Free indie of the week!”

Have ago at the three games yourself and pick the one you like best! :-)
