2022 Roundup

We didn’t post anything in 2022, so it’s time to get through the year’s highlights.

Last year was hard. We had to focus on keeping ourselves alive (as a company). We changed the bank, since the bank that we used before had got under sanctions. We had to do other business-related things that distracted the team from making games. Not to mention the strong emotional impact of the ongoing events. Many services, like Twitter, Facebook, Slack, LinkedIn etc. were blocked in Russia. Many ad providers stopped displaying ads in Russia, so we had to use VPN to watch ads in our games to check if the integration works. Anyway, we’re still here and making games 🙂

Cursed Treasure 2: Ultimate Edition

We finished and released Cursed Treasure 2: Ultimate Edition on Steam.

Here is the link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1368850/Cursed_Treasure_2_Ultimate_Edition__Tower_Defense/

This is basically a re-make of Cursed Treasure 2 with some new gameplay features, multiple bug fixes, a few new levels and new balance. Most of the levels are the same, but the enemy waves are different. The players were not happy with this release, mostly because the game is too similar to the existing one. But we still feel it’s a good game — we spent a LOT of time making it. Re-balancing all the levels to make the difficulty good for the new game rule, that allows the enemies to touch the gems and it still counts as Brilliant, took months. And then there were two balance tweaking rounds based on the players’ feedback — the game appeared to be a bit too difficult. This happens when you play a lot — the game feels easy when you know each level too good.

Cursed Treasure 1.5

Another game in Cursed Treasure series. This is a level-pack to Cursed Treasure 1 with some features borrowed from Part 2 and a few new features, like jumping enemies that can jump over thin walls! The game is available on mobile and as a browser game:

The main features of the game are:

  • 15 new levels
  • 3 gems with the same logic as in Cursed Treasure 2: Ultimate Edition
  • Flying enemies
  • Jumping enemies
  • Underground passages
  • Improved levels art
  • Interface improvements to make the game touch-friendly

There were a lot of improvements and bug fixes that migrated to Part 1 and Level Pack too.

Battalion Commander 1917

We finished and released a new Battalion Commander game (that’ the third installment in the series). The game is set in World War I setting with war balloons, tesla towers, huge tanks and such 🙂

The links:

The features:

  • Lots of upgrades, weapons and skills
  • Checkpoints
  • Tough boss fight
  • You can ride a tank equipped with a huge gun

Road Of Fury 4

We started working on the new Road Of Fury game in 2022 and it’s still in development. We are now adding levels and balancing the game, hope to finish it soon!

  1. Банкротство студии… это самое грустное явления для игровой индустрии.. Я хочу, чтоб это осталось в страшном сне. И я хочу поблагодарить, за то, что вы делаете для игровой индустрии. Ваши игры превосходны! Так держать!

    P.S. Ваши художники гении. Как вы делаете такие потрясающие и оригинальные текстуры… Не вектор, не в стиле так называемого Кингдом Раш.

    • Спасибо за тёплые слова! Ситуация у нас сложная, но мы пока держимся, надеюсь прорвёмся.
      PS. Kingdom Rush как ни крути — отличная игра. И когда она вышла, её стиль арта был свежим и интересным — это сейчас он уже таким не кажется, так как очень много других игр его скопировали.

      • I want to thank you because the Cursed Treasure saga is one of the best tower defense games I’ve played, along with Kingdom Rush.
        For Cursed Treasure 3, forget about 3D graphics; it’s not necessary for this type of game.
        Learn from the Kingdom Rush team: they’ve been using the same 2D engine for over 10 years. All they do is tweak the gameplay, add new graphics, and new towers. That’s what you should do, and release a new version of Cursed Treasure every year or two, changing a few things.

        I wish you the best of luck!
