Hi everyone! We are now accepting real game submissions, and have been for a couple of weeks now. We realized that the messaging in the Developer Portal suggested we were not, but this messaging was incorrect. So if anyone was waiting to submit, wait no longer! Any questions about submissions just ask!

Foresight - Weather forecasts on your Ouya

matto1990 — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:00:19 +0000

Not a game as such, but my Ouya app Foresight has just been released onto the store.

Introduction

Designed exclusively for Ouya, Foresight allows you to view local weather forecasts directly on your television.

Using the Forecast.io API (created by the developers of Dark Sky for iOS) it provides minutely, hourly and daily forecasts. Not all locations support the minutely resolution, however Foresight will always give you the more accurate data which is available.

Super Painter Bros

AmazingSparckman — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 12:24:38 +0000

Hey there Ouya, I am working on this platform retro style game.
The game is being developed using multimedia fusion
an application similar to game maker.

It's a somewhat rip off of the old mario, sonic and adventure island;
but unique enough to be its own game. I'll be uploading a demo soon.
This is the first screen shot.

Alien Siege

Bodwad — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 07:26:55 +0000

Hello everyone I am new to Ouya and thought I would introduce myself and the game I hope to release in the near future.

Currently porting over from Xbox Live indie to Android phone and Ouya, I hope to have my game Alien Siege released on Ouya within the next month or so. Just need to finalise my android release and then add gamepad control, resolution changes and two player modes for release on the Ouya.

Fingers crossed :)

Downward Dungeon - (Verticle) Platformer

DariusSlayer — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 21:37:17 +0000

This new game that we, Armandra Studios, are currently developing is in the concept art/early development stage. As of now, based on the GDD, we have our choosen hero and her walk cycles completed. All that needs to get done are her running, jumping, getting hit, death, and victory dance animations :) Those, and all the monsters and stages included :P

The theme is of (light) fantasy with a bit of humor put into the scenes and dialog. What we want to accomplish is a long running series of DD, along side Final Warrior (newgrounds).

Again, just working on the art right now with the intention of placing everyone on a 640x480 resolution.

Open to any comments and suggestions :)

Pixel Pro's upcoming games

pixeldriver — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:15:20 +0000

Hi, as most of you will know i'm currently pushing to get a demo of Kill Khaos on the Ouya for August, with the full version out sometime in 2014, but thats not all i'm bringing to Ouya.

My team are also looking to bring the following titles to Ouya as i have already made them and just need a quick makeover/polish before we release to Ouya, anyway these are the games.

Freefall (Ouya Exclusive) full game will be $2

you have to jump from a hot air baloon and free fall past everything from birds to wind currents before pulling your chute and trying to land on the target below.

I made it around 6 years ago but never released it so thought its time for a spruce up and a heck more levels, we are going for the look of Mario 2 mixed with Tiny Tower, no idea how the will look but it sounds good lol.

Fort Wars (Ouya Exclusive) full game will be $2

This is something i made 4 years a go after playing a homebrew game called Castle Wars on my NDS. I made as me and my Wife played it a lot while she was pregnant in Hospital, i felt i could do my own spin on it and we liked it far better.

The basic premise is it's a 2 player only card game, you both have a castle and you both play from the same deck (unlike Castle Wars). You have 3 types of resource and the goal is to spend your resources on either destroying there castle or building up your own to win. The cool twist is i have added a shuffle button which shuffles the deck meaning if you see your mate has got a chance to use a card on his next turn which would smash your castle you can shuffle the deck which may or may not work as you could end up with even worse cards and this deck is yours to play from too. Any how once again just a little bit of polish and we will release the title.

Brick-Alanche (Ouya Exclusive) full game will be $3

This hasn't started production yet but it will be a fast paced Breakout game with a few twists like timers and falling bricks giving it a Breakout VS Space Invaders feel.

Game Shelf - MultiEmulator Frontend UI

dra6onfire — Thu, 27 Jun 2013 05:52:22 +0000

I've been working on this for about two-three weeks now and it is just about complete. Please drop me a comment if this is a project that you are interested in.

What I wanted out of this was a clean user interface that can combine all of my android systems emulators into a single pane of glass. This makes the emulation experience as seamless as possible and allows you to use emulators that were sideloaded without having to jump down to the build menu.

As a user, you have to install the emulators you want to use, configure the app with the directories that contain each systems games, and any BIOS that are required, and the app does the rest ... unless you named all of your games in insane ways, then you may have to be a little more proactive when the app is pulling the metadata.

The app uses intents built into the emulators to directly launch the selected games so the emulator has to be compatible. Right now all of the "oid" emulators are compatible as well as FPSE and EPSXE. I have been in contact with a few devs including those that have emulators on the Ouya and all seem open to the idea but I can't guarantee when the compatibility will be introduced.

Between this app and the autopilot app you should be able to turn your Ouya into a relatively seamless emulation experience.

The app will let you use one system of your choice fully functionally for free and if you like the feel of it and the performance, $1 will net you the rest of the systems you didn't choose for the demo.

Earth Defense - An Ouya Exclusive Tower Defense game

whiLd — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:12:24 +0000

Just wanted to get a post out there showing the progress that has been made on my game Earth Defense.

Earth Defense is a tower defense game that has a RTS and FPS Twist.

In Earth defense you will be able to collect resources in order to build/upgrade your towers faster which brings the RTS element, and you will be able to select a tower and enter first person view to manually control that selected tower which is the FPS element.

This brings a whole new perspective to the over the top view you are used to in tower defense games.

I'd love to have this ready by the June 4th retail launch, but I'm not sure that's possible. I'll give it my best though.

For the Earth Defense story, and up to date news, pics & vids, please visit: http://www.tyrantgamingstudios.com/

or like us on Facebook.

Here is a very early demo video of the game in action. (I'm still working on tower models)

Project reaLM

cometlove1 — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:12:48 +0000

Project reaLM is the code word for a game. It is a retro game that may come to the ouya soon. It is a text based adventure in a fantasy world with different classes. Anyone like the idea?

Kill Khaos

pixeldriver — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 21:54:04 +0000

Hi, I've just signed up and wanted to show you the title I'm currently working on that I will be converting to Ouya. Karmageddon Khaos is a driving title which is all about running down pedestrians, using mental weapons and power sliding around large open environments. I have a small team making this game with me and we are working really hard to make it something special, the handling engine alone has taken us over 2 years to perfect. Below is a few screens, hope you like it.

Velocity

Bitcanvas — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:21:32 +0000

Hi,

We are a small team from Sweden working on a game called Velocity. The game is currently in beta with a scheduled release June 20.

In Velocity the player uses their force-field to smash into other players, making them fall to their death. Inspired by an 80's rendition of the future, Velocity is an explosion of neon and over the top action. Use the boost-function to slam down upon your opponent or save yourself from falling.

A first trailer for the game:

BombSquad: 8 Player Party-Game Madness (testers needed!)

efroemling — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:37:51 +0000

Hey folks,

I've been working on a wacky party/fighting game called 'BombSquad' for quite a long time now and I'm excited to bring it to OUYA... the only problem: I don't yet have my OUYA. So unless someone is willing to loan me one for a weekend I figure I'd just try to get it working best I can on my nexus 7 and see if folks would be kind enough to try it out for me on the actual hardware.

Here it is:

BombSquad_OUYA_1.3.5b2.apk

Would anyone be willing to give it a whirl and let me know if it installs/launches or if you run into any problems? It has very generalized support for android gamepads so I'm curious to know if the OUYA controllers will work 'out of the box'. (go to Settings/Controllers/Configure Gamepads if you need to tweak anything).

You can also use iOS/Android devices as controllers via the 'BombSquad Remote' app, and it supports up to 8 players.

Thanks much in advance and I hope you like it (well, if it works...)

-Eric

Bacteria™ Arcade Edition

SinisterSoft — Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:04:33 +0000

I submitted my game yesterday (Bacteria™ Arcade Edition), just waiting for it to be approved.

Some info:

Warning: This is a strangely addictive game retro classic-style arcade game!

It has freaky style classical music - be prepared to have its tune fixed inside your head.

The game starts off slowly, but by wave 4 the game is frantic, lots of chaotic action that keeps you on your toes.

Inspired by multiple classic arcade games, the basic idea is to stop multiple waves of enemy bacteria from snatching your last few remaining cells that are located in the center of the screen. However, there are also some bacteria who are intent on destroying you - so you must destroy them first. If you succeed in lasting 60 seconds then you will be rewarded with a further cell to protect on the next wave, and so on...

Four player simultaneous action: Bacteria™ Arcade Edition also features multi-player simultaneous gameplay in which up to four players cooperate to save the cells and defeat the invading bacteria.

The game has a $2.99 IAP for unlimited plays – until then it’s one game per day unless you pay!

PiX Frogger - multiplayer racing frogs

pixjuegos — Thu, 11 Jul 2013 00:23:03 +0000

Hi everyone!

We are proud to present PiX Frogger for OUYA

PiX Frogger is clearly inspired on Frogger. I thought "Why don't we create a multiplayer Frogger? Quick and fun!". Some years after creating PiX Frogger I found out about Freeway, which has this exact mechanics :)

To the point: 4 frogs race to cross the street first while trying to avoid cars and trucks.

Only one button per player. 4 players can play in just one controller, but also more controllers can be used too.

We don't have a trailer, so here are some (unknown) kids playing Debian's version :)

Project Blockhead

Glaydur — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 21:36:14 +0000

I've been feeling a lack of RPG games in Ouya where you can just sit down and play a game with a fully fleshed out story. So here I am making an FPS survival game codenamed "Project Blockhead". The code name will NOT be the final name for my game.

Project Blockhead or PB for short will be a timed exclusive for Ouya. If it gets enough attention then I'll easily be porting it to PC/Mac/Linux. It's not just gonna be a survival sandbox game but a survival game with story! The aesthetic of the game will NOT be minecraft styled but more of a normal 3D rendered model with different kinds of shape. A demo version will be out in two months time if I don't get any help.

Wanna join in? Well here are the people I will need:

3D modeler:

I basically can't do artsy stuff so if I don't get any help on this then I will be borrowing free assets from different sources. So if you're an artsy guy then PLEASE contact me.

2D Artist:

Mostly for texturing. See above.

So if you're any of the person above then contact me immediately! My e-mail address is on my profile.

The School of Torture

Lodmot — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 02:53:08 +0000

Hey guys.

I'm now beginning work on a new game for OUYA, called The School of Torture. It's going to be an RPG of sorts, and it's still very early in development as of now. It will have a much more serious tone compared to Game Catcher, which was designed with a silly/humorous tone in mind. The art style is going to be very simplistic because I want things to be drawn in the style of a child's drawing, but they'll also have a good amount of detail as well. This is going to be one of those games where graphics will not be an important factor. Right now I can't really say when I expect to have this game done. Right now I've been doing heavy work on the game's graphics (and there's a TON of them already...)

A bit about the game:
The School of Torture will be a game that revolves around an 8-12 year old child who has a documented history of mental health issues. He/she has been homeschooled their whole life, but the parents want to try putting them in a regular school in special ed classes. The game will take place during the first couple weeks/first month that the child attends the school, but complications arise from the very beginning. When the child endures negative experiences (e.g. teasing/bullying by other peers, teachers giving out hefty tests/essay assignments, forgetting homework, accidents), his/her entire perspective of the world instantaneously gets morphed and twisted. The entire school, in his eyes, starts resembling that of a torture chamber, or prison, and everyone around him turns into a vicious monster or demon. During the game, this shift between perspectives would be visible; environments will change, the graphics will suddenly switch from being brighter to darker and somewhat apocalyptic-looking, and people will change into demons that actually attack you. The key to this game would be surviving everything that's out to get him within his twisted perspective of the world, or else it may affect him in the real world. The game will also have a built-in by CouponDropDown">time system, to keep track of the time and day. As each day goes by, the child's situations in school get increasingly worse, until they reach an ultimate climax, where it becomes almost like a life-death situation (this would be like the final boss fight of the game).

So.... That's what I've come up with.
Any suggestions/comments are welcome. ^^

Averix

Soulofjazzman — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:14:46 +0000

I'm currently hard at work developing my game, Averix...

“Imagine. A fantasy themed game with quircky characters like Chrono Trigger™. A top down game view similar to Zelda: A Link to the Past™ with level progression recognized within a Secret of Mana™ universe. Fast and frantic battle gameplay style like Ninja Gaiden (current gen) with a hint of parkour movement to maneuver through obstacles and the wave of enemies surrounding you. Fans of Secret of Mana™ will feel right at home while controlling your 3 heroes as you switch roles on the fly during combat. Dungeon layouts like Zelda: the Minish Cap™, and music background classics like Chrono Trigger™, Secret of Mana™, Zelda™ and the Final Fantasy™ (series) to keep your blood pumping as you explore, battle, and embark on your unexpected journey. This is… Averix.”

I just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. My team and I are hard at work to make this happen. Screenshots on the development cycle will be posted soon. You can keep up with my posts on Twitter: @Soulofjazzman and Youtube: youtube.com/soulofjazzman when you get the chance. Until then, game on!
