With Combo Crew we wanted to re-create the magic of the old-school brawler games we loved so much: Streets of Rage, Final Fight, Street Fighter,… but on mobile. So first we nailed down the controls so you could finally play a fighting game on a touch screen, with no virtual D-pad to mess up your moves. The touch controls are smooth, responsive, easy to learn: one-finger swipe to punch / kick, tap to counter, and two-finger swipes for special combos. Then we worked on re-creating the fun of playing co-op with your friend together on the sofa, commenting the action, and remembering it for days after! This is where the Draw Something-style asynchronous multiplayer kicked in. You can invite your friends to rescue you when you are KO, or rescue them, and of course compete in the leaderboards. And then we worked on the combat system for the gameplay depth, the arena-style levels in the tower for great sessions of gaming on the go, the unlockables and an “endless” mode to keep you coming
back for more. We also hope you will enjoy the parody and references to all the games that have inspired us! As always we are eagger to hear your feedback via the usual channels, and we are looking forward to playing with you in the game: you can invite us to compete or help, our email is in the game! Below the full press release.

The (Mobile) Fight Is On! Beat ’Em Up Combo Crew Now Available for iOS and Android
Modern old-school brawler from The Game Bakers has smooth touch controls, asynchronous multiplayer
MONTPELLIER, France – 23 mai 2013 – Independent developer The Game Bakers invite gamers worldwide to join the fight in Combo Crew, a high-energy beat ’em up just released for iPhone / iPad and Android. Starting today, the game can be downloaded for $1.99 (USD) from the App Store and Google Play. A brawler in the spirit of arcade-era fighting games like Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage, Combo Crew was designed especially for today’s mobile gamers. The touch controls are smooth and intuitive, so your fingers do all the fighting with no virtual D-pad to get in the way. Quick arena-style levels and a tower level structure make Combo Crew perfect for gamers on the go, while tons of unlockables and an “endless” mode keep the crew coming back for more. Trapped in an industrial tower by the maniacal Mr. Boss, the planet’s top heroes must fight their way to freedom one level at a time. In solo mode you face off against swarms of bad guys to master each character’s unique fighting style and special moves, unleash crazy combo streaks, and try for a high score to win the gold medal. In the co-op “Combo Crew mode” the fun kicks into high gear when friends team up to rescue and revive each other from KO. Best of all, this asynchronous multiplayer is cross-platform, so iOS and Android users can play together as part of the same crew. “With Combo Crew, we wanted to recreate the fun of playing a brawler co-op with a friend on the sofa, but adapt this to mobile gaming. So the Draw Something-style asynchronous multiplayer really made sense,” says Emeric Thoa, The Game Bakers’ creative director. “And if your friends aren’t around, no problem—we’ve included ourselves on the friend list. So if you’re in a pinch, you can request a rescue from The Game Bakers and one of the developers will help you out!” To purchase Combo Crew, visit these links:

Guys… you are great. You did an amazing job with SQUIDS mixing RPG and mobile type games. I bought the game yesterday and you’ve done it again: the controls are just perfect for the platform!
Not only that: the art, the music… everything is perfect. I can only hope that someday I can work in a company similar to yours.
Keep up the good work! You are amazing!
Waouh, thanks for so much love! It’s really firing us up for the next game!
Just wanted to say, played your games and loving the fresh take on design for both. You’re really touch-pad minded. Weird words, but positive ones. It’s really awesome to see people taking to this space appropriately.
I’m so getting this on my S3!
I love the game but it keeps crashing the moment i finisch the 9th floor!! I’m using an iphone 5. Please fix it!!
Thanks a lot for reporting the bug. We fixed it and we’ll push an update pretty soon, alongside a lot of new content.
In order to go through round 9 and avoid the bug, you have to succeed in making 3 air attacks. To do that, right after you juggle the enemy in the air, swipe the enemy and you’ll do some kind of jumped punch. I believe that the game won’t crash if you can succeed in doing that. If ever it still crashes, let me know your Combo Crew id (your email or facebook email) and I’ll unlock round 10 remotely so that you can pursue your progress until the update comes.
Really sorry about the bug and thanks again for reporting it.
Thanks for your patience.
For some reason, it takes forever to login with either FB or email. I checked the Internet connection. Seems like some other people’ve faced this problem too. Can you guys give us a solution? I’m playing on Google Nexus 10.
Hi!
Thanks for reporting the problem, we’ll look into it and try to update soon.
Make all the characters free please.make more characters.
The best game I ever played keep up the good work guys but one thing I’m asking for plz put that character off of tales of symphonia lloyd irving on here it would be so cool! Plz!
Hey thanks Noha! Very glad you like the game. Agree, there are so much characters we’d like to add! Didn’t think of Tales of characters but that’s right they’d be a nice addition, I would love to see that happen as well!
could you tell me how to use booster function?
Start a new game in Combo Crew mode after buying some boosters and you’ll be able to bring them along your game and use them at the beginning at each round!
Plz spanish friends?? or English help me in the tower D:
Please help! I made an in app purchase and bought the capcom crew pack but it says it keeps failing to download!! What should I do? I dont want to have payed for nothing 🙁
Hi!
The update with v.1.3.1 should fix this bug! Please install the update and let us know if you still have a problem!
Thanks for playing!
Have y’all thought adding anymore characters?? iLove this game!!! Can’t put it down!!
Love the game. I thought Viewtiful Joe would have been a great fit for this game, and obviously you guys did too 🙂 Did you guys approach Capcom, or did they approach you?
Round 32 of King of the Tower keeps glitching out with Sammo. He will stand at either side of the screen and swing his arms like you are trying to attack an enemy, but he will not move. Neither will the enemies. I switched to Dolph and had no problems clearing the round, but my favorite octopus brawler is stuck in limbo.
Other than that, I have had no issues with the game and I am definitely looking forward to whatever game you guys release next.
Thanks a lot for the cheering! We’ll look into that bug, thanks for reporting it.
Lots of bugs and freezes alot even when opening app on droidx2
Glitches and freezes on droidx2 plz fix I’ve wrote u guys twice!
I have been hooked on this fantastic game, you guys are the best! Keep up with the awesomeness and I look forward to future updates.
I love the graphics and how it harkens back to classic brawlers while keeping a modern twist. It’s fun, addicting, and there are lots of challenges and other bits that keep the game from getting old. Might I say it is « Viewtiful » as well.
You guys rock! This game rocks! And I look forward to what you guys here at the Game Bakers have in store for it!
Waouh thanks a lot! We’ll try to keep making games like that!
Love combo crew! Awesome game with awesome mechanics, and is simple and easy to play. Hope to see more characters added to the in-game store.
ilove the game but will you please make some fixes with its compatibility on iphone 3gs im still using this phone,,, it always crashes back to home screen at a certain times… cant play it smoothly.. still need to restart again the game cuz it does not resumes
Hi,
Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be able to optimize the game well enough to run on these devices… they are way too old :(. But our previous games, Squids and Squids Wild West run very well on iPhone 3GS! I hope you’ll like them.
Cheers,
m
I absolutely love COMBO CREW! I immediately purchased the Capcom Crew! The controls and game style is so smooth and easy Joe and Chunli are My Favorite Characters! I was wondering though….since you mentioned games like « Streets of Rage » and « Final Fight » will there be anymore Characters added on?
Thanks so much for the praise! We’re very glad you like the game :-). As for the characters, there is none planned at the moment, but we are looking at options! Axel or Blaze would be AWESOME that’s right!
Which Axel/Blaze,or is it from Inazuma 11 Axel Blaze(That will be cool).
I PURCHASED RYU AND I CANNOT GET HIM BECAUSE IT SAYS PURCHASE FAILED AND THEN I CANNOT GET A REFUND!! »!
This sometimes happens when something goes wrong with the internet connection during the purchase (we can’t do anything about that :(). BUT! If you were charged, this means the purchase is saved on your Apple/Google account and that you can restore the purchase by going in the Settings menu and tap « Restore purchase ». This will unlock Ryu for sure ;-). Have fun and thanks for playing the game!
Cheers.
Hi
Do you plan on making a streetfighter 2/tecken/mortal combat beat em up style game that is multiplayer with people over the net? would be emmense!!
Is there any chance of this game being Xperia PLAY optimized? It looks REALLY cool, and I think it could benefit from using the controller for sure! I would love to be able to beat up baddies as Viewtiful Joe . As it stands, though, the most recent version of the game isn’t even compatible with my phone. 🙁
Thanks for the support… unfortunately we have no plan to add support for older devices.
Overall its an awesome game but after 1.3.0 update in combo crew mode my character after sometime fighting,he starts to stand in one place keep gaurding also enemies also stops attacking then i will have to quit.Can somebody help me with this problem?plz.
Hi! Thanks for the nice comment. About the bug, we’re aware of it and it’ll be fixed in the next update… we’ll release that asap! Until then, the work around is to avoid spamming the counter, especially against bombs. If you tap once to counter a bomb, it should never freeze.
Cheers, m
Thanks for the reply.
Anybody here knows the use of 2 finger swipes in super combo.
Also I found some cool trick.after super combo attack gets started swipe with two fingers in any direction of your fav combo,then at the finishing stage of super combo the combo will follow it with fluffy blue coloured thing used in super combo if you keeep on attacking ,countering and without stopping .all ur punches and kicks will look like super combo.
I don’t know if it will work .
But it worked for me(maybe a glitch).
Mobile :Samsung Galaxy SIII (i9300)
Add more Street Fighter Characters (M.Bison, Vega, etc.)
When will 1.3.1 be released for android .I’m waiting for it to be released.
Theres a problem that dont leet me conect me to facebook if you can fix this it will be very apreciated
hey guys add me for playing together and rescue 🙂
