Goodbye Galaxy Games outline Tappingo 2’s biggest enhancements
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
In a recent interview with Nintendo Life, Goodbye Galaxy Games talked about the biggest enhancements coming to Tappingo 2:
Zoom mode is probably the biggest new feature. People thought the tiles on the big grid were too small. So being able to zoom in is a really nice feature to have.
Other than that there are many little ones, like for example if you look at the screenshot you can see all lines now have outlines. This makes a individual line better visible in a group of the same colour and also stand out a bit more against the background colour.
I also put in double tapping to retract a line, so players won’t accidentally retract a line causing a chain reaction.
Danny and me also worked really hard on the user interface, made it more dynamic and animated. And just lots and lots of other little things!

Goodbye Galaxy Games planning new 3DS FPS, may work with Wii U this year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Goodbye Galaxy Games appears to have plans for a first-person shooter on the 3DS.
Studio head Hugo Smits started out by first asking fans the following on Twitter:
who would like fast paced FPS with a twist on 3DS?
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
Smits then wrote soon after:
@Trev_G1 @df2506 I got some cool ideas for one… so if there are enough people wanting it…
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
@df2506 @Trev_G1 Yeah Moon looks amazing! Can't wait to play! But I'm more talking classic FPS like Wolfenstein 3D or Doom for my project 🙂
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
All of this culminated with the following tweet:
Okay pretty sure I will work on a FPS game for 3DS this year then.. haha busy year this is going to be!
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 31, 2014
In addition to the new 3DS shooter, Smits is trying to wrap up two more projects for the handheld, and may even bring a title over to Wii U – like a Tappingo port.
@GoldMetalSonic Might start with WiiU this year. it will be something 'easy' like a port of Tappingo, need focus on tech-side first!
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 31, 2014
@Samus2008 hope I don't die 😀 Trying to finish 2 3DS projects in next 2 months, Gomba in the summer, FPS game for xmas? and maybe some wiiU

Goodbye Galaxy Games shows off “Gomba”, game creation tool for 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Goodbye Galaxy Games is working on a new “rapid prototype game creation tool for Nintendo 3DS” known as “Gomba”. The software provides game-makers with a game engine, level editor, simulator and C-like scripting language and debugger. According to creator Hugo Smits, “Non-programmers can probably create a simple game in just a hour.”
Smits is currently building Gomba for Windows. He hopes to turn it into an online tool, which may end up being created in Flash. A beta could arrive as soon as this summer.
You can find many more details about Gomba in Smits’ blog post here.
