Mommy's Best Action Pack on Steam (Testers needed)

[MommysBestGames]

Hi all,
We are currently wrapping up porting our XBLIG games over to Steam. I've been working hard to make sure they are great experiences, and to Steam-ify them as much as possible.
All the games have Steam Leaderboards*, Achievements, Trading Cards, and Cloud.

The games are:
-Shoot 1UP: shmup with multiple player ships at once
-Game Type: shmup score-looper in which each loop increases game speed
-Weapon of Choice: Contra-like with branching levels and weird weapons. *(won't have Leaderboards, since it has no score)
-Explosionade: Mechs and monster-stomping.

The hope is to release the games to Steam in a few weeks (or a month so). I'm still getting a release date figured out depending on how few bugs there are!

I'm looking for a few testers to help me identify issues (specifically PC issues). The games have keyboard remap support, but work best with the gamepad.
PM me if you'd like codes to help test.
Thanks a bunch for the help!
-Nathan

So, what can I do for you?

So, what can I do for you?

Howdy,
Mainly looking for general playthroughs to help find bugs, hardware issues, or find issues I've missed, control/input problems, that sort of thing.
The one thing is... the games are ports of existing XBLIG versions which people enjoyed (and I don't want to screw up their appeal), so I'm not going to overhaul giant aspects (like redo the art style or something).

But for instance, Bullet Magnet just pointed out that in Shoot 1UP, when you kill a boss, the giant resulting explosion obscures score drops. So I've fixed it so during a boss death, the score drops show up on top of effects, so you can reasonably grab them.

Games were announce this week! Coming out September 23rd, I'll do a pretty post of them in the main chat soon.

Tiny tweaks so far:
*Explosionade: New laser sight added, player grenade art reflects when you'll get electrostatics or not, player 2 art more easy to distinguish from p1, "all clear" message on killing all enemies, drop-in/out player 2 code much improved, better default controller layout for dual-stick and face button options but remaps still there, tuning balance to make game slightly harder (gold gives you less health on higher diffs now), added 1.5x resolution.
*Shoot 1UP: Player draws over end explosions for getting score drops easier, draw over for all effects now changed to make player/enemies/bullets easier to see, added 1.5x resolution, level-branch kills all enemy bullets.
*Weapon of Choice: player run speed now faster (so much better!), special ending fixed, added 1.5x resolution.
*Game Type: Enemy shots/enemies redrawn to make them easier to see, enemy shots slowed down, player art hit-box redrawn to make it easier to see, added 1.5x resolution.

Removed requirement for Steam DRM for all games. It's nicer to have Steam running (leaderboards, achievements, trading cards) but not required.

Thanks a bunch to testers ACWraith and Bullet Magnet!
Very helpful feedback gang.
