As an Aussie gamer, I like to see my local video game developers / publishers take the world stage and showcase just what our country has to offer! One of the developers that really impressed me at last years EB Games Expo was the Sydney-based studio Nnooo (Fun Fact: The company name is best pronounced in Darth Vader “NOOOOOO!” style).

It has been more than half a year since the event now, and Nnooo have confirmed that they will be showcasing three of their upcoming games at this years PAX East event in Boston – Booth 118. No release date has been confirmed for any of these titles outside of a 2014 North American / European / Australian / New Zealand release window, but having tried them all out last year I highly recommend checking out their booth if you decide to attend the event.

Information on all three games is available below:

Blast ‘Em Bunnies

Blast ‘Em Bunnies is a pick-up-and-play endless shooter. Keep your bunny alive by defending its burrow against an onslaught of evil bunnies. Pick them off using your carrot rifle, pelt their furry hides with your watermelon pip machine gun or do maximum splash damage with your turnip mortar. The longer you play the more difficult survival becomes. But it’s not just your own bunny’s mortality you’re concerned with. You also need to deal with the throat slitter holding your baby bunnies hostage.

Blast ‘Em Bunnies will be a downloadable title and is initially targeted for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS. A demo of the game will be playable at PAX East.

Cubeman 2 for Wii U

The first indie game on a Nintendo platform to offer both cross-platform multiplayer and cross-platform user generated content. Developed by Australian studio 3 Sprockets, Cubemen 2 is a fast-paced 3D strategy game in which the player controls an army of Cubemen, using them to battle against enemies in a range of modes. Players can enter online matches and create and share user-generated levels regardless of which platform they are using. Players on the Wii U version will be able to battle not only against other Wii U players, but also against others who already own the game on PC, Linux, Mac or iOS device.

Cubemen 2 for Wii U will be published by Nnooo and is expected to be released as a downloadable title in the second quarter of this year in the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. An advanced build of the game on Wii U will be playable at PAX East.

ORBITOR

Orbitor is an action adventure game which takes place in space themed environments ranging from nebulas to complex orbital systems. Within each space system players must control a space probe named ORBITOR to lock it onto objects, orbit them to gather speed, destroy them and collect the energy life forms they release. The probe is an autonomous and self repairing Artificial Intelligence returning to its place of origin complete with upgraded abilities and a new mission – to stop its creator.

The orbital systems within the game’s levels are only a small part of a much larger network of systems that fill the entire nebula. They all work together like a giant machine. The exact purpose of the machine or who created it are not revealed until the last section of the game. Through the ORBITOR the player is destroying the machine and its defence systems piece by piece as they make their way to the centre of the nebula.

Developed by Australian development studio Evil Aliens, ORBITOR will be published as a downloadable title on consoles/handhelds by Nnooo. Specific platforms will be announced at a later date. ORBITOR is expected to be released on consoles/handhelds in the US, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in late 2014. A PC demo of ORBITOR will be playable at PAX East.
