Welcome to the world of Trash Quest – a pixel art platformer in which your task will be to fight your way through the maze of the space station rooms by defeating numerous enemies with the help of collected power-ups.

This cute Metroidvania platformer with zero checkpoints, dynamic action, and amazing graphics by Francis Vace is heading to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X thanks to RedDeer.games.

TIME TO START A GAME
The action takes place on board of Deliverance space station. While the crew is ready for a long journey to Tau Ceti, being settled in their cryo pods, the AI on the ship, during system check has detected uninvited guest.

Aaand yes, it’s a small, filthy raccoon with a simple purpose in life – to collect as much trash as he can. But this time his task won’t be that easy since defense systems don’t allow to take another passenger on the trip.


INCREASING DIFFICULTIES
Trash Quest delivers exactly what you expect  – a short, intense, and tight platforming experience. The game’s world is divided into four zones, each with its own visual and musical theme, and the player has to traverse them by collecting upgrades and discovering new shortcuts on the map.

This is crucial for your mission because, in classic Metroidvania style, you can’t reach certain places unless you’ve upgraded yourself with the required ability. Like for example double or triple jump. 

IT WON’T BE EASY
The progression in the game saves automatically. BUT… there’s only one single spawn location where you reappear every time you die. Do not worry, any power-ups, abilities, or shortcuts you’ve unlocked will remain.

AAAAND PIXEL ART!
A tribute to retro games Trash Quest features pixel art graphics and a unique soundtrack inspired by classic video games that are sure to catch retro gaming enthusiasts’ attention.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Metroidvania platformer with zero checkpoints
  • Cute protagonist – you play as a raccoon
  • Dynamic action and difficult boss fights

Go back to the 80s with RazerWire: Nanowars

Today is the space launch day! RazerWire: Nanowars lands on the Nintendo Switch. The game is also coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X on December 17th.

RazerWire: Nanowars, created by Hammer & Ravens, is a unique bullet-hell style game where you don’t so much shoot enemies as use a wire connected to a generator as a weapon, cutting through enemies with a sharp monomolecular filament.

Go back to the 80s with RazerWire: Nanowars – a true tribute to retro arcade-style gaming with modern rogue-like progression.

FIGHT, DIE, UPGRADE AND FIGHT AGAIN
Survive the endless waves of invading aliens, and when you lose, use the resources you’ve gained to upgrade RazerWire and keep fighting!

With each wave, the difficulty level increases! Opponents with new weapons and better armor appear, and this is where upgrades come to the rescue. With the points you earn, you can upgrade your weapon and also buy useful powerups. 



IN THE FUTURE, FAR, FAR AWAY
Humanity has conquered most of the galaxy. Unfortunately, a new threat has emerged in our universe, but this time it is invisible to the human eye…

This threat turned out to be nano-sized aliens, reminiscent of viruses, destroying everything in their path while being almost impossible to detect.

Scientists led by Dr.Illerotsap have created a lethal weapon based on medical tools with a monomolecular filament used for microscale surgery – they call it… RazerWire.

KEY FEATURES: 

  • Arcade-style gameplay with rogue-like progression.
  • A unique mechanic in which you use a super-sharp wire connected to a generator as a weapon.
  • Endless waves of attackers with increasing difficulty.
  • Many enemy types with several variants on each.

Sacrifice Your Friends, a Lovecraftian party game in cute horror style, will launch on consoles and PC later this year

Sacrifice Your Friends is a 1- 4 players party brawler inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter and chosen as a finalist in the Ubisoft Indie Series competition.

You battle your friends in dynamic, trap-filled arenas. This fast-paced party game in a cute cartoon horror style, created by Astrolabe Interactive, will be released on Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X and Nintendo Switch later this year, thanks to RedDeerGames.

READY FOR SHEER MADNESS?
There is nothing sweeter than a chibi Cthulhu. But don’t be fooled by the cartoon style, Sacrifice Your Friends is a true challenge.

The game is fast and dynamic, and the battles are intense. Randomly appearing weapons and various traps make you think on your feet and never stay in one place too long.

Of course, unless you want to be sacrificed.


FOR LOVECRAFT FANS
The Mountain of Madness or the Nameless City catacombs are places that every Lovecraft fan will definitely recognize. Story mode will take you and your friends to locations inspired by the writer’s novels.

Would you prefer to explore the universe of H.P. Lovecraft by yourself? No problem. The brave one can go on a dangerous journey all alone in a single-player mode.

WHO SAID THAT HORROR CAN’T BE FUNNY? 
Sacrifice Your Friends will appeal to everyone who likes good horror… with humor. Chasing friends with an enormous axe in their hands, killer tentacles, or the odd fish-folks mob of Innsmouth – it sounds like an epic party! 

Sacrifice Your Friends Trailer is now available on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mphUqrfTuc8

Whether you share a couch with your victim or live on two opposite edges of the world, the Great Old Ones know no borders. The game includes local and online mode!

Don’t forget to wake mighty Cthulhu up later this year with Sacrifice Your Friends!

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”― H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature”

ABOUT  H. P. LOVECRAFT
H. P. Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) was an American horror fiction writer. He is one of the most significant authors of supernatural horror fiction, known as the creator of the Lovecraftian sci-fi-horror subgenre.

Lovecraft is best known for his horror stories „The Call of Cthulhu”, part of the Cthulhu Mythos. In his stories, the author introduced demonic creatures with supernatural powers from distant worlds, including the world-famous Cthulhu, a powerful deity depicted as half man, half dragon, and half octopus.

Lovecraft’s stories have served as the inspiration for numerous films – „Cthulhu” from 2007, HBO series – „Lovecraft Country” from 2020, and video games – f.e. „Bloodborne” by Japanese studio From Software.
