RCMADIAX is returning to the Wii U eShop this summer with three new titles. The studio is planning the previously-announced Color Bombs, along with new titles “Don’t Crash” and “Pixel Slime U”.

Below is an overview of these three games:

COLOR BOMBS

In this chain-reaction title, players must collect a predetermined amount of “COLOR BOMBS” to complete each stage. Several difficulties such as advanced and timed levels will challenge even the most seasoned player.

DON’T CRASH – NEW!

Quick reflexes required! This exciting arcade title requires its players to dodge oncoming traffic by switching lanes. Each successful lap around the track is a point, but be careful as the CPU will quickly change lanes without notice. To add to the challenge, the speed of your car will increase with every successful lap. Players are encouraged to post their scores to Miiverse and compare to others online.

PIXEL SLIME U – NEW!

An auto-runner with a twist! This title is one where you are challenged with achieving the LOWEST score possible. Players control a pixel slime through 40 levels while trying to avoid death. Stages quickly change mechanics to keep players guessing whats next. At the end of 40 levels, players are encouraged to post their death score on Miiverse to compare with the online community.

RCMADIAX has additionally announced that Super Robo Mouse is in re-development for Wii U. Details will be shared in the future – likely during E3 2015.

As for Europe, each one of these titles is being considered for release in the market, but RCMADIAX is “waiting for improvements to the ratings system to take place.”

Today’s news may come as a surprise, as Color Bombs was said to be RCMADIAX’s final Wii U game. The company’s Michael Aschenbrenner told us that he was going to step away since he was “burnt out”, but found that he was missing development.

RCMADIAX announced on Twitter today that Color Bombs will be the developer’s final title for Wii U.

“I’ll still be making games, but will be moving to a one or two game per year cycle to focus more on quality,” RCMADIAX said on Twitter. “Re-branding and trying to get rid of the ‘cheap trash game’ stigma that I have now been pegged with since Spikey Walls. I still plan to support the WiiU eShop with promotions, updates, etc. But sadly I had to stop production on some projects.”

Super Robo Mouse, which was one of the earliest Wii U titles RCMADIAX revealed for the eShop, is no longer planned for the system. The studio pointed to several reasons for this, including the fact that “The game’s later levels have really suffered in terms of performance.” Creator Michael Aschenbrenner explained, “I tried optimizing, but it meant I had to remove things.”

Annouced during a Twitch broadcast, puzzle game Color Bombs will be coming to the Wii U eShop in Q1 2015 from the developers responsible for titles like Poker Dice, Shut the Box and Toss n Go. It’s a chain reaction game that has you setting off a bomb to trigger as many other subsequent explosions as possible. The price for Color Bombs is still to be confirmed.
