Patent Blaster

0dizSEHow9Y

I’ve just released a small indie game called Patent Blaster that’s based on Slick. It’s a sidescrolling shooter inspired by the awfulness of patent illustrations, with weird creatures you can burn/freeze/dissolve or just shoot.

If you want to give it a try, download the demo: Win Mac Linux. Let me know what you think. :slight_smile:

Interesting source of assets. You should patent the concept :wink:

You are quite right, I really should. And include an illustration of a deformed-looking person playing the game on a blocky computer screen. 8)

Cool concept :slight_smile:

However I didn’t quite get the ‘vibe’ of patent illustrations from these colourful game graphics if I’m honest.
Looks fun though.

The House Update adds a whole bunch of dubious interior design to the previously rather barren environment of the game. Beyond that, I’ve also rewritten the physics to be more stable, re-balanced the power and difficulty levels, and added a bunch more powers and weapon types. Most importantly, with so many things around just waiting to spill or explode, you can really use the environment to your advantage. I’ve also included a simple editor to make your own levels with.

Please give the demo a try, and let me know what you think.

I appreciate your weirdness! Will there be Patent Troll bosses on the higher levels? How about software patents that pop out of the woodwork where you least expect them?
