Somethin' Fishy - The Backyard Games

Hello all! Figured it was time to post a thread about our newest Work in Progress - Somethin’ Fishy.

Premise - Aliens are invaded and are trying to steal the world’s fish population! Earth’s only hope is a group of rogue aliens hell bent on stopping them!

This is going to be a bubble shooter type game with some side-scroller elements thrown in. The player will control one of the rogue alien’s submarine. The players goal is to try and free the fish before the aliens can get them. The player will also have to avoid obstacles, enemy submarines and battle bosses.

It will be setup in Stages and Levels - 5 Stages per level. Stage 5 the player will be battling a host of different bosses.

There will also be an item and upgrade shop. Buy and upgrade different weapons to help you free the fish and defeat the enemy.

Target Platforms - Facebook(why not? it’s easy), iOS and Android.

Playable Demo - Somethin’ Fishy

The Backyard Games released it’s first game on iOS a few weeks back. The team consists of myself - programmer/level design and assembly and Caleb - artist. We also just picked up another programmer who is a Unity community member - Zerano. We are looking to fill 2 positions, whether it be for just this game or for future projects as well.
***Artist - need to be able to hand paint well, as a lot of our games are 2d
***Sound Artist - must be able to fit in with our style. We do a lot of cartoony themed games,
and need silly and zany sounds/music to go with it.

***Both positions are profit share based. We have a legally formed LLC and there will be contracts in place to protect you.
We are using Unity Indie(for now), so no need for a Pro license.

If you are interested, or need more information, please send me your portfolio via PM or to info@thebackyardgames.net
