Hill Bomber

A new project is in the works! Introducing Hill Bomber, a low poly skateboarding video game that features an infinite downhill game mode and a split screen racing mode. Coming soon to console and PC!

The goal of this new project is to be as indie as possible, featuring local independent music from DIY artists, local skate shop brands in-game, voice acting from my friends, and super low-res textures! To learn more about Hill Bomber, check out www.hillbombergame.com.

Here's a clip of the gameplay so far:

Long Legged Larry version 3.0 is now out on Android and iOS! In this massive update, you can continue from checkpoint locations on each level instead of restarting from the beginning each time you die. To get a checkpoint you have to collect the checkpoint flag, which will then allow you to continue from the checkpoint location upon dying.

One more mobile update is in the works. I'm adding a checkpoint system to the game. I think this will be a big improvement, and will allow players to enjoy the game without getting burned out.

The goal is to finish this update before the new year, but I'm having to rework so much code that I can see it taking a little longer. I have finished implementing checkpoints on 2 of 5 levels so far. Let's hope things go more smoothly in the remaining levels.

LLL v2.0 is out now! See what's new in the mobile update by watching the patch notes video below. I made some changes here and there that should provide a smoother gameplay experience.

If you find a new bug, please use the contact page to send me an email about it.

I'm very close to wrapping up the new website. Now I'm going to direct my attention to a Long Legged Larry mobile update.

The mobile update will contain some bug fixes, quality of life improvements, and art refinements. After the mobile update, I'll begin porting the game to web.

Saturday, 12/10/2022

I'm planning on porting Long Legged Larry to webGL. You'll be able to play Long Legged Larry on the web now too.

I haven't started yet, but it shouldn't take that long. I'll need to make adjustments to the art and change up the controls.

Also, I want to thank everyone for playing the Long Legged Larry mobile game. It's been a while since I've checked but I think we got around 12,000 downloads, that's awesome.

What can you expect in the web version? Bug fixes for sure. I'll probably clean up some animations. Quality of life improvements. Better control of Larry when using a keyboard as a controller. Might even add some scanlines in post production, only if it looks cool though.

Play a random gif when the mouse hovers over an object of your choosing. I saw this on Adult Swim's website and thought it would be fun to try for myself.

If you haven't already, hover the mouse over the Death by Deathray logo in the top left of the screen. Here's how to do it, written in Javascript.
