  Hello game designers, look at your job, now back to me, now back to your job, now back to me. Sadly, it isn’t my job but if you came to work with us you could have a job like mine. Do you have what it takes? Now look at your clock, can you see how it ticks, now back to mine, can you make it cuckoo? Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a platform watching a bullet hell fly by, now look again, can you make a card game out of it? What’s in your hand, back…

  Great game development never sleeps. The beginning of 2012 saw Housemarque ship two major titles: the highly acclaimed Super Stardust Delta for PSVita, as well as our first experiment on iOS devices — the brain-racking, lavishly illustrated Furmins, a physic-based puzzle game.

If you missed the previous ones, read the first here and the second here. — Craboid is an iteration of one of the bosses in Super Stardust HD that had long arms and was able to stretch them around the player’s ship.

Craboid from Super…

  This is the second episode in our series of articles about Super Stardust Delta Bosses. If you missed it, read the first here. — Buzzsaw is a boss straight out of the earlier Stardust games, but bigger and badder. We like big and deadly cutting tools, and that shows in some of our games (see for example Dead Nation and Road of Devastation). It was then natural to use them for a great end-of-level boss. This time around Buzzsaw‘s got some new tricks up his sleeve: he attacks you in several different phases, not only with his massive blades but…

  Today and in the following weeks we will take a closer look at the big and bad end-of-level Bosses of Super Stardust Delta, and examine their roots and place in the Stardust universe. In the previous Stardust games, the name of the Bosses were never shown in-game. Of course, within the design team we gave them names we could call them by. With the release of the brand new Super Stardust Delta, we deemed it appropriate to officially give each Boss their personal name for players to see and call them by. Players will of course always try their best…
