Just so many interesting games released this week and some notable points from recent games from Rollic and Voodoo. Rollic’s Arcade Hole is an “Arcade Idle Lite” version of Voodoo’s classic Hole,io ( originally inspired by Donut County by Annapurna Interactive).
And Voodoo’s Human Tower,io is a mix between the environment in Hole,io and their own Tower Run game released back in September 2020.
They have taken the stacking mechanic to whole new level and transformed it more into an evolution / growth style game. It’s a great build with solid controls and does an amazing job of making you feel powerful when growing.
UPDATE: So, those 2 Voodoo games ( Human Tower . io / Build Up ) were flagged as new titles on the UK App store which is why I included them. Perhaps Apple has changed something or there’s an account switch I’m not sure, but anyways – that’s the reason!
However, this is still super interesting and really leans parallel to our core inspiration for latest HomaJam V.5 theme where Reboot, Remix and Re-imagine were at the heart of it.
When looking at previous titles for inspiration, don’t be confined by a single title and imagine how 2 games, or even more, could be fused together to create something fresh for 2022.
Often the simplist ideas work best and when you’re looking for some inspiration, the very first place to start is to identify what was fun and satisfying about the originals.
Then, and only then, should put your own twist on things and nail the core fun.
