The TouchArcade Show – 53 – Filled to the Brim with TNT

TouchArcade Rating:

On this week’s episode of The TouchArcade Show, we discuss the Cerebral Assassin. We also dive back into Diablo 3 and touch on how dead the mobile industry appears to be leading up to the ridiculousness that is E3. On topic, we dig deep on games like Bee Leader, Defender Chronicles 2, and Slingshot Racing. Heck, we even discuss the ustwo controversy at length before diving into our pool of listener questions.

I think you’ll like this week’s ‘cast, as it’s a good mix of irreverent commentary and off-topic shenanigans. Listening couldn’t be simpler: just click on one of the links in this post or subscribe to us on iTunes and Zune. The latter is preferred. You’ll get our latest episodes the second they hit the World Wide Web.

Fling the anti-social bovines by their stretchy scrotums and use pinball bumpers, exploding crates, elevators, and barrel cannons to keep your bull in play and rack up massive damage.

Collect coins to unlock new bulls, each with their own unique and extraordinary aBULLities. But be careful — the shop-keepers are fighting back with meat-grinders and dangerously attractive lady cows.

      totally humbled and blown away by your comments about our game and trailer for Bee Leader - thanks Brad, Eli and Jared!

      1. Guest

        Bee Leader is one of the best releases of the year so far, you deserve success

        1. Flightless

          thanks, Matt!

      That PSN app is only good for one thing, checking if friends are online. No one should feel like they're missing out if they can't get it.

      Great podcast again guys.

      ehhh.....it went from "must have" to "is this a flash game?". i wont take it off my radar, but this vid makes me care a little less.

      1. dylanmannen

        wtf dude xD I think it looks Awesome! : D

        1. anthony simmons

          yes it does "look awesome", but it doesnt look like it plays awesome. dude is flying around at a ridiculous speed for a platformer. hit detection looks super sketchy. im just glad this is an alpha build, kinks can be worked out.

    4. wim

      Bullshit!!!

    5. Dimitris Katsafouros

      BEAUTIFUL!!

    6. pocketmego

      Probably the art style, but something about this really reminds me of Junkyard on the Atari 7800. Curious to see how this turns out.

    7. bloop

      I wanted to get this, but the guy humming with the beat in the trailer turned me off a little....I dunno why it just sounds bad, I know they were trying to pull off pixar charming/cute crap, which itself got old in 2006 or 2007, but still I dunno, I'll wait for some more footage, and please next time cut the pedophile humming in the background out.......

    8. mguniverse

      Lots of negativity today, I think this game looks pretty dope. It's an unfinished, unreleased product and it still looks great. I can't wait to see what the finished product turns out like.

    9. FreezeFrozen

      this is looking, & sounding like dope !!
      need this quick !!!! 

    10. Starcat Partysuperhero

      i cant beleive the junk that passes for games nowdays. 

    11. Clashingskulls

      I've been following this game since it was announced...but the gameplay seems beyond pointless. You jump...and run. As of now, it should be renamed, "The Other [Lame] Brothers.
