With Doomed Star’s Here Be Monsters update release, & that take longer than planned, we’re taking the rest of the year off. However, the algorithm must be fed! So we’ll be revisiting old projects through to the new year!

Unlike Tower Alchemy & Ark Defender, They Dug Too Deep didn’t start as a school project. We cycled back to fantasy from sci-fi, as you play a dwarf descending into infested mines.

They Dug Too Deep is loosely inspired by an old game called Drainstorm!

Revisting past projects, The Demo of Ark Defender has a unique track for the end encounter that ended up not being used in the final game.

One of our most iconic bosses (at least internally) from our previous game, Ark Defender, is the encounter with Laouylik, an eldritch being with giant eyes & tentacles.

The asset pack used to kitbash ships for Ark Defender got reused for Doomed Stars & is part of the reason we decided both games exist in the same universe.

Ark Defender was our 2nd project. Another heavily overhauled old school project. It remains closer to the initial idea though. Sort of a mix of FTL: Faster Than Light & Asteroids.

A secret tower in Tower Alchemy is the holy cow tower. It summons meteoric cows that explode in holy power.

One of the major towers for Tower Alchemy is the storm in a bottle tower. It covers the hole map & zaps enemies at random.

Tower Alchemy was released before we found our niche? Rut? Of developing various roguelikes. And contributed to that direction as we decided we should focus on making games of genres we played.

Tower Alchemy is the only one of Mischief & Mayhem’s projects to have a dedicated artist. While the mechanics & gameplay might be a little rough the Tower Alchemy’s art remains great!
