Deadlock trailer

13 November 2012

We’re still trying to figure out why some games are classified within the FPS category… guess anything with a gun automatically belongs to that universe. Deadlock, a good mix between a colosal shooting arena and a complex yet charming puzzle-platform game like portal, has recently launched it’s own crowdfunding page on the French KS equivalent “Ulule” (probably because the game is French-developed and KS still doesn’t exist outside the US-UK?).

Originally appeared during last summer’s “7DFPS challenge” the French group of developers is willing to make a bit more than half an hour of neon entertainment, that’s why they’re testing the crowdfunding waters, see if the gaming community are willing to fund a 1-2hour polished version of the game and if everyone feels generous… why not a full solo version… or even a multiplayer one?

Jumping in an endless void trying to climb a mysterious tower, much like Roland in Stephen King’s novel you’re invited to fight the structure’s cleaning system to avoid disintegration. The good thing is that they’ve made available a demo version for us all to judge whether to support or not. The bad thing is that the link is broken. Keep clicking until you get your own switch gun! More info on their ululepage.
