After over 2 years of development, I'm super proud to finally bring this to you all. It's on sale now for $3.99! If you're interested, or just want to support me and the games I make, check out Neighborhorde. I'd love to know what you think!
FYI, we've also released Neighborhorde on Xbox One and PlayStation 4! I know this is Steam, and talk of horrid consoles is a no-no, but honestly it's freaking awesome to have my work on all of these platforms.
Cheers,
Andrew

New game, SPINGUN, out now!
Hey y'all, long time no see. Andrew here. I’m happy to announce the Steam release of my second game, SPINGUN. After the successful release of ‘David.’, I’ve been hard at work honing my craft to create the best games I possibly can. SPINGUN is my latest work, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
If you liked 'David.', I have a feeling you'll be intrigued by SPINGUN.
SPINGUN is a "manic two-button arcade shooter". Two buttons. One spaceship. Zero chance to survive. Use the elegant two-button control scheme to battle against an onslaught of baddies in your ship. Fly and steer with either single button, or press both buttons at once to fire your ship’s powerful blaster gun. Grab powerups to launch missiles, plasma balls, and flames at your foes. Blast em to bits quick to repair your ship. How long can you fight them off?
SPINGUN features a variety of game modes:
- Endless, a classic “how long can you survive” mode with random weapon powerups
- Endless Hardcore, one hp, no heals, EXTRA DEADLY
- Zones, fight against 5 set waves of curated enemies with only one weapon powerup
- Boss Fights, test your skills against goliath monsters
- Ballpit, a pointless goofy arena filled with balls, have fun with physics!
A quick history: SPINGUN started as a 48-hour game-jam project as part of Ludum Dare 34. Since then, I couldn’t stop thinking about the theme of “Two-Buttons”, and how I could get the most depth from a super simple control scheme. I continued development and opened up a public beta through TouchArcade, something I’ve never done before. Thankfully, the testers were really loving it, and gave me quite a few ideas to finish up the game. Even though I developed the game completely myself, I couldn’t have done it without the support and ideas from my friends and testers. I plan on listening to suggestions from players and adding more features and content often.
“This is like Asteroids on steroids!” - a quote that stuck out to me from one of my beta testers.
Anyway, I’m happy to release SPINGUN. I’ve put my heart into this game, and I just hope people enjoy it.
Cheers,
Andrew Armstrong

Price Drop is a GO!
The people have spoken, the day has come, and the price has dropped. ($4.99 USD to $1.99 USD)
Holla!
Thanks a ton for all the support so far. It's really incredibly encouraging. I'm in the process of creating some additional content, so be on the lookout for that soon. If you'd like to see some behind the scenes stuff as I work, I'll be tweetin at ya here @fermentergames.
Pricing Change Follow-up!
As a follow-up to the previous announcement, I just wanted to clarify a few things.
What's Going On?
According to policy, price drops of this nature aren't meant to be changed so soon after launch. Policy is policy, and I have to follow it. We're gonna have to wait this out a couple weeks.
Timeframe
The price will be dropping from $4.99 to $1.99 on Monday, March 16th.
Thanks a ton for all your support and encouragement.
ALSO
I'll be heading to GDC in San Francisco in a few days with a few buddies. Anybody else gonna be there? Any tips for a newbie?
