Glorkian Warrior (game)

Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork (also called Glorkian Warrior or just The Trials of Glork) is a touch screen style game for the iPhone, iPad, and probably sooner or later, Mac/PC. It was released March 13th, 2014. The game currently costs $2.99 in the App Store.

Glorkian History
A long time ago (maybe about 2006) James Kochalka had an idea for a game. It started with a doodle of a goofy looking alien and his laser backpack. That doodle sprang magically to life, and begged to be the star of his own video game. Kochalka tinkered with gameplay ideas in ink on paper... working out the perfect combination of elements to make a really fun, entertaining game.

James met with Pixeljam and together they started a Kickstarter project asking for $10,000 to fund the game. After two other iterations of the game Glorkian Warrior: Trials of Glork was born!

Gameplay
Glorkian Warrior is a combination of various gameplay styles, like Galaga, Super Mario Bros., Metroid, or Moon Patrol. It is also fast paced, like Dino Run or Canabalt. Some areas are zero and/or inverted gravity, while other areas are hand drawn by James Kochalka, and yet other areas are pixelated, Pixeljam Style! There is plenty, plenty of dialogue, and the game exploration is almost endless. Likewise, it is Glorkian!

Creators
Glorkian Warrior was created by Pixeljam Games, who is in charge of programming, music, and extra designs and artworks, and James Kochalka, who is in charge of main artwork, dialogue, and main design. The music is by Mark DeNardo, and everyone can play the game.
