In early February we caught the first teaser for Choppa, an upcoming Choplifter-inspired side-scrolling rescue game from developer Parta Games. Choppa took the formula of rescuing people and delivering them to safety using a helicopter popularized by Choplifter and added in procedurally-generated levels, customizable choppers, and a hefty dose of wacky physics. It looked really awesome. Then about a month ago, Parta soft-launched Choppa in select regions and has been getting great feedback from early players in our forums ever since. Now they feel like Choppa’s been in the oven long enough, and are officially launching the game next Thursday, April 21st. Here’s a brand new launch trailer.
The classic Choplifter is one of my favorite games I played as a kid, I absolutely loved flying around and collecting those little people and delivering them to safety. I also have grown to love wacky physics-based games these past several years too, so I’m thinking that Choppa will be a match made in heaven for me. Look for Choppa launching for free next Thursday.
Finally
Guess I didn't stay up late enough last night... kept checking, as they mentioned that it would be going live yesterday. Easily the most fun I've had in a game in a long long while - there have been some great games out, but very few have kept my attention for the amount of hours this one has. I'm probably going to start it again with this new update. Goodbye free time...
Be aware there were two updates: one in the morning and another one in the afternoon (GMT+1). Latest version is 1.1.5.
This is really great. I already ran around the Bawg and Tundra until I found the recipes for the Pot Slapper and the Pot Slapper Laser thingie and set up a Parapod farm to help feed my Karboan addiction (geyser farms are fun with the right trinket setup, but farming the Parapods had always been a drag until now). Looking forward to getting the rest of the recipes and trying out all the update has to offer.
Imagine reading that post as someone who has never heard of Crashlands. It's pretty great
I take it the Quest Creator has yet to arrive.
Awesomeness is worth waiting for
Butterscotch back at it again, kicking major ass! Can't say enough great things about that company, and I still cant even play Crashlands! Just love every other game they have made, even the ones that weren't my usual genre, like the rocket one I can't remember the name of lol
