Wub-Wub Wescue Unleashed (Pug Intended)

Game 4, done! You can download Wub-Wub Wescue from your Rewards page right now.

Assume the role of pugtagonist Wub-Wub as he tries to free dog’s best friend and professor-in-peril Oontz O. Oontz from the natives. Wescue pays homage to Donkey Kong (the codename during development was even “Doggy Kong”) and other single-screen 80s arcade games (with a touch of Mega Man for ladder mechanics).

This game features a bunch of firsts:

1. First first, Shaun and Matt completed this game without Rusty (who is being treated for Myofascial pain). Get better Rusty!
2. The complete version of Game 4, Wub-Wub Wescue, is a completely different game from the crunch version, Beat Drop.
3. We also tried out a new resolution, an NES native 256x224.
4. Matt broke out the Konami VRC7 chip for a little FM synthesis for the ending credits theme.
5. Both the Mac and PC versions are self-contained Air applications, which results in better performance and eliminates the risk of your browser deleting your save.
6. Final first, Shaun tried a new, outline-less pixel art style.

We hope you enjoy it!
