Announcing: Avatar Battle Bees! at 11:23

Hello! For those who have been following us on Facebook, you'll already know that we have been working on a new project since the 20th of January. I felt it was about time we got around to updating the blog. So without further a due:

Avatar Battle Bees!

Trying to follow up on the success of Avatar Bumper Cars we have chosen to return to the world of avatars after a small diversion of rabid elves and huge blood thirsty snowmen. Avatar Battle Bees is pretty much what the name suggests! Large bees (which your XBL avatar rides) take to the skies in battle, each one bringing a different combination of weapons and perks. The game will be XNA for XBL and will support online play. So you'll bee able to take down your friends with 'stinger' missiles and water cannons.

Here is some work in progress screen shots.

As you can see the game is starting to take shape this is a glimpse of one level so far. More levels are in the pipeline, as we update the game we'll try to keep the blog updated. Fingers crossed and look to the skies in May!

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! at 16:27

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! at 09:10

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 at 09:47

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 :)
