'Photographs' dark narrative masquerades as a mobile puzzle game
EightyEight Games released the popular puzzle/battle game 10000000 and its sequel You Must Build a Boat to great success. Now developer Luca Redwood is ready to reveal his next project for the studio: Photographs. The new puzzle game will release next year for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
Puzzle-RPG 10000000 on sale, developer reveals sequel You Must Build a Boat
Indie developer Luca Redwood announced that he's working on a follow-up to his tile-matching, dungeon-crawling puzzler 10000000, and plans to offer the sequel for free to anyone who purchased the original game. You Must Build A Boat expands on 10000000's addictive structure with new playable locations, recruitable party members, and tile upgrades that award bonuses for successful matches. Players who purchased 10000000 on Steam will automatically receive a copy of You Must Build A Boat upon its release, and Redwood is weighing his options for a similar upgrade program on iOS and Android platforms. Redwood is currently offering a multiplatform version of 10000000 at a discounted rate of $1.50 via the Humble Store. Purchases via the Humble Widget include a Steam key, along with DRM-free copies of the game for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android devices. If you just want the Steam version of 10000000, it's available for 99 cents through February 10. [Image: 88 Games]
10000000 now available on Mac via Steam
10000000 (pronounced "10 million") is a great game that arrived on iOS last year. It combines a tile-based swiping puzzle game with a fantasy-based progression system to create a very addictive mix. The game is still available on iOS for US$1.99, but Eighty-Eight Games has now made the leap over to the desktop, releasing the app on Steam for both Windows and Mac. As you can see in this trailer, the PC version of the game is similar to the Mac version, and contains all of the various dungeon upgrades and puzzle action that the original is known for. Eighty-Eight tells us that Valve came to them and asked about a Steam release after the success of the iOS version, which resulted in the port that's available right now. There's no Mac App Store version, unfortunately, but getting the game for both Windows and Mac on Steam Play should make up for that. Currently, the title is having a launch sale, so you can pick it up for a dollar off, or just $3.99. If you missed this game on iOS (or just love it so much that you want to play it again), Steam's got you covered.
