For those of you who played Barrel Roll (Ultra!), thanks for your kind words and reviews. This game started of as a reverse DK, and I wanted to keep the vibe going as much as I could. I maintained the game in a way that players can get where the inspirations is coming from, and still be entertained. The game kind of becomes a Mario zombie carnival later and its great fun!

Some of you asked who the green head monkey thing is. Well he is an ape who leads of the Great Kong’s followers. The leader uses a Green mask, the pipe guy is Mr.Pink, Mr.Blue does the cleaning afterwards.

The initial plan was to have a progression based action game. You start alone. Then you get more monkeys to join the squad. They are supposed to add threat as the rolling barrels can harm you too, but can also be helpful because if you escape, they will most likely explode on a plumber. Then there was introduction to different barrel types, enemy types etc etc.

I spent two hours on this frame on Day 2 before abandoning it..

I am looking forward to seeing the ratings for this game. For the future, this game has given me some ideas for another game I always wanted to do. It is going to be a strategy game with some similarities to this one. Here is a sneak peek on how it is coming along. I will try to keep updating the game’s progress through Twitter.

The pigs cometh! Soon.

Thanks for reading, and keep Jamming! You can play the game here: Barrel Roll Ultra!
