  • Offworld: Pizza City: PixelJam’s retro-modern style comes to Adult Swim

    pizzacityOffworld profiles a new pixelflash game that features some hot tunes from NYC’s Graffiti Monsters.

    In a move entirely coincidental with my tip of the hat to Rich Grillotti earlier in the morning, Adult Swim has released its latest web game, Pizza City, which so happens to have been created by Grillotti and PixelJam partner Miles Tilmann.

    The game’s the Atari 2600 version of Grand Theft Auto we never got, if the game had necessarily been limited to GTA’s delivery side missions and been stripped of all its violence (minus, that is, that toward clowns and mimes), but with all its hidden bonuses sprinkled around its open world.

    If it seems at first glance that its pace and expansion are too time consuming for quick-shot web play, that’s because they are: though it’s not immediately apparent (it wasn’t to me, anyway), pressing ‘S’ inside the pizza shop will save your progress, meaning I can (and will) come back to grind my way to those better cars teased just outside your starting point.

  • zan-zan-zawa-veia mole soul ep

    27Long awaited release from zan-zan-zawa-veia for fans of the uneasy listening progressive chip maximization. II writes:

    This cream of nine month’s work is a set of curious songs sung by a neglected NES, buried alongside the sounds of dinosaurs – progressive rock, the earliest game soundtracks, cabaret and other such styles left to hibernate. All six pieces avoid the immediate and mechanical, instead delving naturally into exploration.

  • Flashbob – Scrambled Unity

    kr029In his second Kittenrock release Flashbob seriously tightens up the funky clunky nanoloop electro sound that he conjured up for us last time. It’s even more wobbley intricate and glitchy and therefore even better.
