The Other Brothers - Available April, 4th

Thomas P. · Mar 2013

Hey there fellow Polycount members!

Has been a while since I posted but I think that's due to the fact that we have been insanely busy with wrapping up Episode 1 of "The Other Brothers". If you happen to have an iphone or iPad you will be able to play the game next Thursday which is April, 4th of 2013!

We are so very happy and excited to get this baby out of the door! Hope you are as well

Ace-Angel · Mar 2013

Nice!

Any expectations you guys have out of the Ouya? Sounds to me like your guys will be the first one to release an 'full' game on it?

Also, '1st Episode'? Holly molly, you guys are busy!

I'm not complaining, but you guys could surely afford to charge a bit more for such a fine game

Jeff Parrott · Apr 2013

Thomas P. · Apr 2013

Thanks Kwramm and Jeff Parrott! Glad you guys like it! As for pricing, it will likely go up but we thought it would be a nice introduction offer.

Really looking forward to playing this on Android. Well done to Simian Squared & Thomas for all their hard work. Congrats guys!

Muzzoid · Apr 2013

Great work getting it out.

Art is really good, can't say that I am really enjoying the gameplay though,

What is the point of collecting more than 3 birds? One hit and you loose them all but only three are recapturable and even then good luck. The enemies don't telegraph their attacks, especially the upwards uppercuts, it feels like I'm being punished for just playing the game.

Then the spanners last such a short time, yet are really week. If you don't have them long then they should be pretty strong.

Then there is the level design. It feels like I am randomly stumbling round the map till I find the end. I don't feel like I am exploring, and there are so many goons that I just avoid them where possible. Also enemies everywhere!

I don't mean to be harsh, it's just this is what I took away from playing the game.

Bought it this morning in bed. Played it this morning in bed. A steal at 99cents. Controls took a while to get used to.

congrats on the release.

Thomas P. · Apr 2013
