Odd Man Out Studios

For those of you that don’t visit destructoid regularly, each week dtoid editor Hamza “CTZ” Aziz posts a news article regarding cool things happening in the dtoid community.  Well, since Up and Atom was released somewhere around a week ago (give or take a few days) the game was linked to in his post.

But wait, there’s more!  According to a comment Hamza made on the post, tomorrow there will be a post specifically featuring Up and Atom along with 2 other games made in the dtoid community!

You can check out today’s post right…  HERE.

Update : Hamza’s post is now live on destructoid!  Go check it out, and make sure you play the other two games (if you haven’t already).  They’re pretty sweet too.

Hot on the heels of our website’s redesign we’re back to release a brand new game!

Up and Atom is a collaboration between me (Dan) and 3 other students from my class.  At the beginning, we were given the topic of “Physics.”  Now, our first idea wasn’t quite what our game became.  Originally it was going to be an action platformer with Physics elements.  Things like: a gun that would shoot black holes, or switches that could change the direction of gravity, but we quickly realized that what we had in mind was pretty much just a standard platformer.  We didn’t want to just make another platformer (I should say platformer one more time), we wanted to try something different.  We tried coming up with a few more failed ideas until someone suggested to us that we look into Molecular physics, and that’s when it all started coming together.
