on Steam
Kickstarter Going Strong
Apr 17th, 2014 – Triple B Titles Kickstarter project, Popup Dungeon
took a mere 11 days to Greenlight. This is in stark contrast
to their previous game, Ring Runner, which took 399 days. Triple B believes the cause of this radical difference
is the style and genre of the game as well as their now established fanbase, since Ring Runner was the first
game their studio created. Popup Dungeon is a completely flexible Rogue style game with functionality
to create any spell, ability, weapon, or character – limited only by your art and imagination. Find out more on the
Kickstarter page at http://kck.st/1ovuVD9.
Long ago or yet to be, a Wizard from another world stabbed his
tower into the side of the Earth like an immense dagger. It pierced into stone and time, deeper than anyone can ever dig.
The only way in is through portals scattered around the world. These portals are disguised as enchanted board games, and they
come with an invitation:
“Come, morsels. Your bodies do not interest me; it is human imagination which I
invite into my domain. Only the greatest of you will reach the high spire of my lair, now buried deep in the roiling rock.
And I will be waiting, fork in hand, to devour the banquet of your creativity with a side of wits.”
Popup
Dungeon is a single player or co-op multiplayer Roguelike game with infinite flexibility on creating, sharing, and
building anything you'd like. You'll never know what will be encountered in each dungeon as you delve into the depths of the
Wizard's tower, or how you can mix your skills and abilities to survive each new challenge as the doors open before you. Find
out more at the Kickstarter Page at http://kck.st/1ovuVD9.

04/15/2014 - Hyper Crazy Clibers Soars to PSNHyper Crazy Climber Soars to the PlayStation®Network
San Jose, CA - April 15, 2014 - MonkeyPaw Games, Inc. announced Hyper Crazy Climber is available
today on the PlayStation®Network for $5.99 on PlayStation®3, PSP® and PlayStation®Vita.
One of
the zanier games MonkeyPaw Games has imported, in Hyper Crazy Climber players climb (and climb some more) on a variety
of buildings and structures. The goal of each level is simple: start from the bottom and make your way to the summit. You’ll
need to watch out for falling rocks and other obstacles, otherwise reaching the top of the level will be impossible without
precise timing.
What sets Hyper Crazy Climber apart from other crazy climbing action games is the focus on the
full-body controls.
Each side of the controller is mapped to different limbs to make your crazy way around the
obstacles. You’ll need muscle memory in your fingertips and a strong internal rhythm to grasp each hand and foot hold.
This is perfect for players who love the challenge of mastering deliberately difficult, yet fair, controls.
Hyper
Crazy Climber is part of a long running video game series that originates from the early days of coin-op arcades. Hyper
Crazy Climber released back in 1996 in Japan and this is the first time this game is seeing a release in North America.
###
Hyper Crazy Climber Features:
- Hyper, crazy climbing puzzle action
- Unique stages
