Pixeljam's Glorkian Warrior glorks all over iOS devices this year
Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork was a Kickstarter project before Kickstarter projects were cool, funded with $11,200 in March 2010 – and now it's a full game. Glorkian Warrior is due out in Q1 2014 for iOS devices from Dino Run creator Pixeljam and comic book artist James Kochalka. It's a Saturday morning cartoon kind of game that mixes Galaga-style shoot-em-up mechanics and platforming to create a cheery endless shooter. Glorkian Warrior offers procedurally-generated enemy alien formations, an "arsenal" of weapons and powerups, and no in-app purchases. There's no word on the final price, but Pixeljam promises "just good old-fashioned entertainment like your great grandpa used to enjoy." Happy glorking, everyone.
Today's monkey vs. robot video: er, Monkey vs. Robot - The Movies
Today's movie isn't topping any charts, but it's a dash of much needed Monkey vs. Robot-ness. Comic book artist and musician of the wacky James Kochalka created Monkey vs. Robot eons ago, and has appeared on cds, as a graphic novel, and in animated form. However, this version was created with the PC game/simulation The Movies. Yes, it's inane. Sure, it's repetitive. Damn skippy, it's simple ... but c'mon, it's monkey vs. robot. Check out the damage after the jump. For a real royal rumble, someone needs to do a Monkey vs. Robot vs. Ninja vs. Pirate mashup. At least this thing is better than the episodes of Lost that have aired so far this season. Sawyer vs. Robot, FTW!
