Go solo or team up with up to 4 players and take on the role of gunned up and insanely freaky animals ready to gut up enemies just to gain fame in the World’s Biggest bullet-hell Show!

The cute and fluffy animals have mutated, got their hands on some guns and now they’re about to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights! Driven by a crazy blood rush, they’ve organized a gladiator-style TV Show, where they’re fighting each other, getting likes and grand-prizes from their sponsors. Victory is secondary, performance matters more. Especially when it’s explosive and brutal!

And the best part? The game will get a dedicated Nintendo Switch release – with both singleplayer and co-op campaigns! So if sometimes you just need your fill of daily mayhem, now you’ll be able to get it anywhere – on your couch, at your job, on the bus, and yes, even during those long “life contemplation” sessions in the toilet 😉

About the game

The Crackpet Show is a high-powered hybrid of the bullet-hell shooter and vehicular mayhem with easy-to-understand controls and fluid, physics-driven competition.

In the game, players take on the role of cartoon animal gladiators performing in a savage tournament. This post-apocalyptic TV show is extremely popular and is transmitted all around what is left of the world as we know it. Every participant is treated as a hero just for their very presence in the show.

Champions fight for life with creatures mutated so heavily that they disgust even the beasts themselves, that’s why they’re only used to fighting in the pit with the gladiators. This is not all you can fear. Most places you’ll encounter are covered with deadly traps!

Your and your friends’ goal is to defeat as many enemies as possible, closing all that mayhem by conquering bosses. However, this task is almost unachievable for an ordinary rookie, so the competitors have to approach the challenge more than once, developing their skills and equipment in the meantime.

So gear up, invite your friends, and get involved in the most creepy, post-apocalyptic, rogue-like bloodbath!

Features:

• It’s all about The SHOW! Each game level is another episode of a very bizarre, yet extremely popular gladiator-style television show, where winning is not as important as making a freaky, killing spree performance.
• Post-apocalyptic rampage! What happened to humans some may ask, well, no one knows, and honestly no one cares anymore. They’re most likely extinct and their entire legacy, especially weapons, is now being exploited by those who have displaced them – loony, mutated, Crackpets.
• Why does it feel so wrong and yet so right? Feeling nostalgic about good ol’ adult cartoons? The Crackpet Show is the answer! We’ve got all sorts of Happy Tree Friends-inspired animal characters that are both so adorable and even more creepy. Nothing like you’ve ever seen, post-apocalyptic setting that fuses colorful art-style, fluffy characters with action full of skull-cracking and destruction.
• All aboard the HYPE train! Jump in and try your luck becoming the next Champion. Acquire as many fans and sponsors as possible and receive rewards! Gain fame by completing show-rooms or whole episodes and collect fancy perk coins. Gather likes slaughtering your opponents and exchange them for equipment, new weapons, and perks.
• Teamplay, you freak! Want something more than a singleplayer experience? Gather up to 4 friends, pick the preferred room, and hack & slash through enemies. When the time comes, fight your dudes for the loot – there can be only one STAR! But, since you might need sidekicks on the way to glory, go and buff up your team and share weapons and gear with them, and if they drop dead you can even revive them. Just like in the Pet Sematary!
• Monotony? No way, Jose! Procedurally generated maps and tons of enemies do not allow any boredom. The show producers promise at least a couple of episodes, with different biomes, various exhibits, and the right background for the overwhelming bloodshed you’ll perform. Stand out during the casting and choose your favorite character class with different sets of weapons.
• Kick some big-ASS bosses! Lights, camera, and action…slice those huge and abominated enemies into pieces. Slay everything you see and get the trophies you deserve. What? You’ve never fought a big, floating ASS in the jar, before?

The Crackpet Show is currently in development with the release date planned for Q2 2021. The game will launch on Nintendo Switch and Steam.

About Igrek Games:

Portsmouth, United Kingdom 27th November 2020

Freejam, developers of the hit online game Robocraft with 13 million registered accounts are setting their sights on a new development adventure. Gamecraft lets creators build games without ever needing to learn any coding. Everything in Gamecraft is built using blocks. There’s no need to pull up a complicated coding tool. Simply place blocks down, adjust their properties and wire them up to other block types to create your own games.

These can be shared online to be played by other players. There are already hundreds of games shared by the community that can be played right now.

Early in development: Gamecraft is smashing the barriers of entry for creativity! As the game continues to evolve and the tools to create improve, the quality and diversity of games available to play will increase. Players will reap the rewards of playing hundreds of games across a multitude of genres, from first person shooters, vehicle simulators and platformers to fully playable arcade games and pinball machines. 

Creators have already shared over 700 playable games and 60 blueprint sets. Other creators can download these, place them in their game, expand upon it and then upload their own games online for others to play.

Recently, Gamecraft released a new update called Blueprints. Game director Mark Simmons who leads the team at Freejam said:

“Whether you’re a player and you want to try out the hundreds of games other people have made, or a creator and want to design fun games for others to play, the Blueprints update improves the quality and experience for everyone. This is just the first of many major updates we have planned for Gamecraft and we’re hoping players will stay with us on our journey to make creating, sharing and playing better for everyone.”

“With the recent blueprints update, I can upload one of my designs, someone else can download it and use it at their level. Or they can take my design, expand upon it and then create something else. At the moment myself and a few members from the community are collaborating on a train track set where we are each designing various track pieces, trains and carriages. It’s easy to collaborate and we are looking forward to seeing how the community create together”

“Unlike other game making platforms, we want Gamecraft to be accessible, powerful and fun to use. It’s important that we get that right and as we work towards online multiplayer, players will also be able to build entire games together which will lead to better games for everyone to play.”

Gamecraft is now available for PC and is currently in Early Access on Steam

Seasoned online multiplayer pros, and beginners alike, mixed it up on Morus Island and the player reactions in this video say way more than we ever could. It was battle royale but, clearly — not as they knew it!

Hangzhou, November 26, 2020 | Equipped with greatswords, katanas, bows and arrows — and a healthy dose of fear — thousands of players made their way to the vast Morus Island for a first look at NARAKA: BLADEPOINT. 

In the video below, experience the reactions of players as some big multi-kills are registered, brutally, in a battle royale, redefined. Highlights include spectacular use of the bow and arrow, one player transforming into a huge Vajra warrior and dispatching several opponents who got too close; and the ever-satisfying refrain of swords clashing as players engage in the parry and thrust of close-quarters combat.

Servers opened from November 3 until November 9 and players were given the choice of a solo or team adventure. 24 Entertainment also coordinated a series of mini-tournaments via the game’s Discord channel; where victorious players were granted special titles and even some mysterious real-life rewards.
