We’re just getting started at what will be a very busy week of GDC 2018 and one of the first developers we met up with is LemonChili Games. They had previously released Floyd’s Sticker Squad (Free) back in the fall of last year under its original name Floyd’s Sticker Jam, and it has proven quite popular with members of our forums. It’s a Crossy Road-esque runner/shooter with colorful graphics and a really cool sticker collection mechanic. The stickers are so authentic they actually use the gyroscope of your mobile device to shimmer and sheen as if you were moving them around in real life. Today they showed off a bit of the game as well as their plans for a future update which will include new characters. Check it out.
Next up LemonChili had a playable build of their next upcoming release, a really neat flick-based defense game called Tower Power. Here you’ll choose four characters and place them on top of a tower, flicking each one to fire off a shot towards enemies that are swooping in from above. There’s a ton of different characters in the game, each with unique attacks. In between waves of enemies you’ll have a chance to tap rapidly and grow your tower, and as it gets larger the enemies become more difficult. You’ll also be able to fuse duplicate characters together to unlock the more powerful ones, and this will be a paymium game with a soft currency and gacha mechanics to earn characters with the IAP being just for speeding up that process. No energy mechanics or any of that junk here. Tower Power should be launching within the next month, check out the demo video below.
