Death by Game Show is a mashup of strategic risk versus reward and old school arcade. It’s what we’ve coined as Twitch Strategy.
We love strategy games but find ourselves often in limbo between Tower Defense and Real Time Strategy. We wanted to create something quick to play but also challenging and gratifying. We needed that old school arcade progression - where learning patterns and honing reactions determined victory.
We also love titles that leave solutions open. We chose to build sandbox challenges, limited only by space and arcade inspired objectives like earn $10,000,000 for example. There’s nothing like finding a new solution to claim victory and as each winnable consumable potentially leads to a new strategy Death by Game Show keeps pressure on the player.
Death by Game Show is so much more than just over the top humor and robust customisations like sprite, text and challenge editing. It’s a complex game which is both strategic and gratifying.
Please check out our videos on Steam or YouTube for more coverage. Thank you and take care.
Welcome to Death by Game Show. A game of pop culture, decision making chaos and hidden parodies starring U.H.Wutt. A lead-footed tub of goo sentenced to rehabilitation in a time of droid tyranny and human ignorance.
Become the smarts behind Wutt’s rehabilitation, or as the fine print calls it “kidnap-come-illegal-trial-leading-to-banishment-and-death-sentence”. Fight back against the tyranny, free the minds of humanity and find freedom-for-all!
