Month: September 2011

We are pleased to announce that our upcoming game, SQUIDS, will release for iPhone / iPod touch on October 13. Please help us spread the news! In SQUIDS, The Game Bakers have combined classic RPG gameplay with intuitive touch controls, gorgeous cartoon graphics, and an epic storyline to create a fun and totally unique iPhone gaming experience. When an infectious black ooze infiltrates the Squids’ underwater kingdom, only a few wily heroes have the skills to fight back. Your job, should you choose to accept it: recruit a party of these stretchy sea creatures and lead them into battle against the dark hordes. New screenshots and videos! To celebrate today’s release date announcement, we have a new batch of SQUIDS screenshots and gameplay videos highlighting some of the game’s playable characters: Screenshots: https://www.thegamebakers.com/files/screenshots/squids_screenshots3.html Gameplay videos: https://www.thegamebakers.com/squids-characters-reveal.html You can also find our earlier screenshots and trailer on The Game Bakers’ press page: https://www.thegamebakers.com/vip Review copy details! We’re preparing an advance review copy for press, which should be ready next week. If you’d like to review SQUIDS for iPhone / iPod touch, please write back to us before the end of the week. In addition to the upcoming iPhone / iPod touch release, SQUIDS will also be coming to iPad (HD version), Android, PC, and Mac later this year.      

The game will be out soon now! And until then, every week, we are going to tell you a little more about the heroes who could be part of your team of Squids. > Steev – Hero # 1 – Scout

Steev is undoubtedly a hot head! Without hesitation, he will rush head down at your tougher enemy.

Steev is a scout and he has a special ability called dash. It allows him to cover more distance than his companions and perform combos. But his true specialty, and what he loves the most, is attack. He is one of the most powerful Squids with strong melee attacks and combos. > Clint – Hero # 4 – Shooter Clint is a mysterious cowboy, with a shady past. Rumor has it he fought along the Old guard in the time of legends, when the Black Ooze first appeared and the dark hordes rampaged through the Squids’ world. Another rumor has it that where he is from, his name is well known, not always for the most righteous deeds though… But he is also an experienced Squids who is always able to provide the best advice. And above all he is an incredible shooter! The accuracy of his shots makes him a real danger for the enemies. > Kapono – Hero #8 – Scout Kapono is by far the most enigmatic of all! Even if he is far from being discrete, he does not say much about himself. Some say that there is more to Kapono than what can be gathered at first look. Just like Steev, Kapono is a scout. Small and not so fit to take damage, his skill comes from his mobility: his dash is incredible and can be used to cover an astounding distance or inflict serious combo damage! > Vahine – Hero #2 – Healer Vahine has always been a loner. She is not alone anymore but she hasn’t realized it yet. Vahine is a great healer, but she is not as strong as her companions to attack or take damage. Who will you chose for your Squids team?

The two shows are now finished and we came back exhausted. It was an amazing experience. We had a great time with the journalists. It was very cool and also greatly constructive to have all the direct feedbacks about the game, and all the love! Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to visit all the booths but we enjoyed the food (especially sausages and pretzels in Cologne!). You can find some of the greatests moments of our trip in those two albums: Gamescom and PAX. Again, thank you very much to all who took the time to visit us and a special thanks to our PR team for the great organization. See you next year (or sooner)!
