Colosseum is Back

Thursday, December 17th, 2009 by Johan H, CEO

The last two weeks a lot of fans have contacted us wondering why Colosseum is gone from Xbox LIVE Indie Games. We checked this up and it turned out that a slight glitch in our distributor’s system has made Colosseum and some others games unavailable for a while. This is now fixed and Colosseum is back on track of the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

CoooOoolosseum Hammerball!

Sunday, October 4th, 2009 by Johan H, CEO

Okay guys, scratch the referee and prepare for face off! Colosseum Hammerball will be released in a week or so from now. Our original plan was to release it on Wednesday October 7, as most press notices say, but somehow creator’s club won’t let us spin that wheel. Instead, Colosseum Hammerball should be available on Xbox LIVE Indie Games in the week after next week, for 80 msp.

So what is Colosseum Hammerball? According to producer Sebastian U Badylak it’s somthing like this:

“Hammerball is the latest bloodsport from the world of Colosseum. Two teams face off in a fast-paced and deadly mix of hockey and gateball. Equipped with a big war hammer you have to smash your way through your opponents and try to get the ball in the goal.”

Pretty neat, huh? Now, we, the Shortfuse Games team, like to thank two special guys who have made Colosseum Hammerball possible – our summer internship programmers Tobias Lilja (<- awesome) and Mikael Svensson (<- awesome). Thanks guys!

That said, keep your eyes nailed on the  ’new releases’ section on Xbox LIVE Indie Games in a week or so for Colosseum Hammerball.

Now enjoy some screenshots.
