Dueren, Germany – August 4, 2022 – Headup Games & Goody Gameworks are pleased to announce that retro-inspired side scrolling city-smasher Gigapocalypse is out today for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, priced at $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99.

Inspired by Kaiju monster movies like Godzilla and King Kong, as well as classic arcade games like Rampage, Gigapocalypse gives players a roster of monsters, or “Gigas”, to choose from as they reduce cities to rubble to the beat of a pumping heavy metal soundtrack. Create your own monster apocalypse with customisable Kaijus and lay waste to a wide variety of locations waiting to be stomped into dust.

With every run you undertake to try and get to each location’s boss, your Giga will become more powerful and earn mutation points. Spend these points to upgrade your Giga with new mutations, skills, skins, and even up to five tiny minion pets who will accompany you on your outings of urban destruction. Take care of your Giga in Tamagotchi-style minigames and decorate your Giga’s home with cool items that will improve your Giga and make them even more menacing.

Gigapocalypse offers nine monsters to choose from – three ‘Old Gods’, three prehistoric monstrosities and three horrors from outer space. You can take these beasts of destruction into a host of fun city locations from across multiple timelines, ranging from the Wild West to the modern day.

“We are delighted to bring Gigapocalypse to console gamers who want to let off some steam and smash stuff up,” said developer Goody Pundit. “With the many updates and improvements we’ve made during the game’s stint in Early Access on PC, the game is better than ever and I hope console players enjoy picking out a Giga from our monstrous roster and laying waste to everything in front of them!”

Cologne, Germany – November 5th, 2021 – Headup Games & The Bitfather are delighted to announce that 80s-inspired roguelike/RPG, Pixel Heroes: Mega Byte & Magic, is out today (15 PM CEST Europe/ 9AM PST America) on Nintendo Switch for 14.99 USD/14.99 EUR/11.99 GBP, with a 15% discount in the US, bringing with it an exclusive mode, a new campaign and new heroes.

Pixel Heroes draws on retro-inspirations to deliver a mix of RPG and roguelike gameplay backed by a retro-pixel art style, an 8-bit soundtrack, or, new to the Switch version, the option of an orchestral soundtrack changing on the fly. The game features 33 unique hero classes to unlock, each with their own individual skills and attributes, four unlockable campaigns, including the new “The Legend of Hack Hammerson” campaign, each with its own final dungeon and boss, and heaps of procedurally generated axes, spears, spells, crossbows and more to add to your arsenal.

In the new Arena mode, exclusive to Switch, players can freely choose a party from the entire hero pool and take them into a series of infinite battles that get harder as you progress. Special bonus effects can be selected to modify the next battle, making it easier, or more rewarding.

Aside from the deadly dungeons, expect plenty of fun, lots of irreverence, and tons of jokes in a world of weird NPCs and hilarious events. Be careful though! This is a roguelike, so it’s got permadeath! At least if yu do bite the dust, you can visit a detailed graveyard to mourn your lost heroes and compare their statistics.

“We’re delighted that Pixel Heroes is finally out on Nintendo Switch,” said lead designer Tom Hirsch. “The Switch has proved to be a fantastic platform for indie games and we think players are going to have a lot of fun with our retro RPG and roguelike mechanics”.
