The Xmas Chainsaw Massacre!

We've been busy (and quiet) for the best part of the year.

Here is a WIP video of a game we aim to release in the next couple weeks!




More info coming soon!

Avatar Bumper Cars Gets Online Play!

Flying Squirrel Games would like to officially anounce that it's #1 selling title, Avatar Bumper Cars, has just had a patch approved for release on Xbox Live Indie Games.  This patch, in addition to fixing a few minor issues found previously, incorporates the much-anticipated Xbox LIVE Multiplayer mode.



















We look forward to playing a game with you soon!

Avatar Bumper Cars Update!

Good day, loyal Flying Squirrel followers.


Just a quick update today to mention that the Xbox LIVE multiplayer patch has been in peer review for a while now, and it's taking a bit longer to release the game this time - probably as online modes take a lot longer to review.  Expect the update to hit the game within a few weeks though.

As well as this, we're happy to announce that sales of the game passed 12,300 as of May 6th.  This is extremely awesome and we're thankful to everyone that's bought the game so far!

Hope to see you online when the patch is released!

First Trailer for Avatar Bumper Cars

We have made a trailer to show off ABC. Check it out below, or if you have something against youtube (maybe it ran over your cat or something) you can view it at Gametrailers or Vimeo.



Feel free to share it with anyone and (preferably) everyone :)

Avatar Bumper Cars Complete!

Hey all!

For today's post I would like to share the news that Avatar Bumper Cars has "gone gold" as much as an Indie Game can.  What this essentially means is that the game is finished, all the content is in, all the features are in, and all that's left is for the game to pass review.

At the time of writing, the final build is in playtesting on the xna site - so if you're a member go and give it a shot.  I will be uploading the final build for submission and review on Thursday (11th March).  This means we expect the game to be releasing sometime in the following week or so - providing there are no massive bugs present.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting release!

ABC Update

Just a quick post today to drop in some new screenshots from ABC.

The game is now complete, and we're just polishing everything up ready to get it released - but for now, enjoy these screenshots:

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 

Avatar Bumper Cars

I posted something about this game a while back, before we made TFBC last December.

Just thought I'd drop some new info in to show you we're still working hard on the game.  As you might know, the original intention for the project was to be quick and quite basic.  The focus has shifted into getting it more polished now, so it's going to be in development for a few weeks more than we originally said.  However, the game will still be out very soon, so keep an eye out for it!


For now, have some new screenshots.


 

Banana Split Price Cut!

Flying Squirrel Games would like to announce that Banana Split has been reduced to the glorious price of 80MSP.  That's approximately $1.  Or about 70 pence.  Why are you reading this instead of buying it?  Go!
