Gamescom 2023, as ever, is a time for announcements galore. And this time around publishers Fabloo Games and Just for Games have announced their feisty little puzzler by the name of Quadroids. Developed by Blue Loop Studio, this is a solo-developed passion project with mind-twisting gameplay.
One Man Band
Quadroids is developed by Blue Loop Studio, consisting of just a solo creator. Guillame Crouzille has conjured up a 2D puzzle platformer that is guaranteed to test your dexterity and co-ordination, across over 100 hazardous levels.
Crouzille had this to say on the announcement of his project:
We’re excited to bring our expertise and experience with beloved retro platformers to Quadroids… We’re building a unique puzzle strategy-platforming challenge that really pushes the boundaries of what’s come before. With so many controllable characters and screens at the player’s fingertips, and innovative new ways of traversing the environment, this is a game fans of the genre won’t want to miss. All wrapped up in cute but gory pixel art.
The Evil Roboctopus!
You are a minion of the terrifying Roboctopus, intent on taking over the cosmos with his army of Quadroid bots. Your goal, therefore, is to guide the Quadroids through punishing lasers, acid baths and other obstacles. Look for clues in each of the game’s four screens to ensure victory in each and every level.
Key Features
- Four Screens, One Goal – Control and coordinate across four split-screens at the same time.
- Overcome all obstacles – Avoid acid baths, dodge spikes and control the environment with robots.
- Droids die too. Sacrifice the Quadroids to progress! – Remember, even if a character dies a horrible death, they can still help in the quest! Each body is a platforming opportunity…
- Defeat the AI – Discover more than 100+ cute pixel art levels (complete with gory elements for added fun) on your mission to conquer the galaxy!
