Bit Storm

A gritty reimagining of Bubble Bobble, Lemmings in VR, the world's reaction to a misprinted calendar and a time travelling scientist. Just a small selection of the games that we covered this week on Bit Storm.

Ben and Trevor deep dive into a couple of heavy world building games this episode, including a Black Mirror-esque world where Augmented Reality is the norm and a mystery told through flashbacks during a home invasion. They also explore a co-op survival game using Left 4 Dead's director technology, a wacky VR game of bow analysis, an FTL/X-Com hybrid, a tycoon game dealing with family relationships, and more!

Two bakers in 18th century France competively baking cakes. The take home version of Bit Storm's Click Pitch(TM). A galaxy contained within a bubble. The many habits of Doctor Livingstone. An educational game about LGBTQIA+.

All these games and more on this weeks episode of Bit Storm.

Forget all the other gaming websites, we have your E3 2018 exclusives right here! Coming this summer to a game store near you, the latest FPS blockbuster starring the most badass octogenarian: JUDI DENCH: TRAIN EATER.

Also look out for the preview trailers for third person brawler "Gnomes: Guardians of the Garden", hacking and investigation game "When Self Driving Cars Attack", VR extravaganza "Buffet Breakfast Breakdown", the multiplayer streaming VR hit "The Killing Circle" and the thrilling sneak-em-up "Is That An AI In Your Headset Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?"

PLUS! A sneak peek at the new Star Wars indie game: R2B2 And The Golden Man!

A narrative game based on a boxer that bets on his own fights, a used car salesman simulator, the secret origin of language on earth, a telepathic alien baby breaks out of area 52 and a family fighting to survive in Feudal England. All these ideas were somehow turned into games in this episode of Bit Storm.

An alien spider with an expansive skill tree, a rogue-like Gremlins game set in the Old West, a food fight turned lethal, a bullfighter reincarnated as a bull, plus find out the real story behind Gargamel and the Smurfs - all of this and more in this week's Bit Storm!

A Dark Souls style game set in a Buffy-esque universe where the "Chosen one" is Scatman John. A suspenseful game set in an abandoned theme park where you play as the Mascot who never left when the park closed down. A vengeful Hornet who is chasing the spider that stole its wings, armed only with a stinger and springs.

Ben and Trevor laugh their way through another crazy round of Click Pitch on this episode of Bit Storm.

Down in the dumps? We prescribe this episode of Bit Storm, where Ben and Trevor come up with video game tie-ins for the Bill & Ted franchise as well as creating the MVGU (Marvel Video Game Universe), along with a game about a dolphin on the police force, a kindergarten rife with politics and backstabbing, a VR drainage based puzzle game and a cross between X-Com and Stardew Valley.

Warning: side effects may include laughter, groans, and an existential disappointment that these games will never exist.

A guy who survived the extinction of mankind while demoing a fallout shelter! A No One Lives Forever inspired spy romp against a villian hell bent on destroying the UK with Mad Cow Disease! Vegans and people with Lactose intolerance team up against a deadly common threat!

These are just some of the games that Ben and Trevor muddled though in Click Pitch this week.

Trevor and Ben are joined by Barney Cumming of Powerhoof this week, and the resulting stampede leaves behind a game where you play a recluse solving a mystery via garbage and crosswords, a HVAC engineer who is sensibly doing their job, we explore the fine art of observatory equipment requisition, and we reinvent Powerhoof's Regular Human Basketball into a Space Jam-esque adventure!
