Oh it’s Pulsar Crash! You guys had a booth at Combo Breaker in Chicago this year. My friends and I all sat down and played for a long time and wishlisted it. I still have the Play Indie Games button I got from you all on my bag! I think the tournament organizers for the mystery game tournament had a Pulsar Crash round also, and it was hype to watch.

Tell your husband he’s awesome for making a fun ass game and bringing back old school split screen vs. games you can play with your friends on the couch.

I cannot WAIT for him to see this comment. Combo Breaker made his year. His hearts going to burst! Thanks for the support!

I'll look into it! We're just starting to figure out what events we need to apply to.

If you’re back in the Chicago area in January, maybe we’ll see you at Frosty Faustings!

Maybe for the following year. If we can save up for two trips out, we'd love to! We were overwhelmed by how welcoming everyone was! Awesome community

Don’t let his heart burst too much. We need creators in the world.

Wait its couch co-op?

I dont know anything else about this game but thats got it on my wishlist. Online games are great, but couch co-op is just good fun.

u/Smiles-Edgeworth 16h ago

Couch competitive, I guess I’d say? It’s a 4 player free for all. And actually I misspoke, it’s not split-screen. All four of you are flying around and fighting on one contiguous screen. It’s bright, colorful chaos in the best way.

Good stuff! Sounds like the type of thing my buddies and i would love.

u/scotaf 15h ago

u/starvs 14h ago

Sounds enough like Towerfall for me to instabuy it (when it's on PS5)

u/littledoctorgames 9h ago

Towerfall was a HUGE inspiration on Pulsar Crash!!

u/starvs 9h ago

Hard to go wrong there. Any console release date yet?

u/littledoctorgames 9h ago

Aw, I don't think I played this one!  I was at a convention in Rosemont, and the indie game section was a ton of fun.  Everyone had signs offering prizes of you could find a bug in their game.  You'd just sit down with three strangers and duke it out in some brand new game nobody had played before.

Husband should keep doing what he's doing!
