Press release:
Charlestown, IN –March 18, 2021.
The Charlestown-based indie games developer and video game publisher Mommy’s Best Games and the Kentucky-based indie games studio Super Soul, are today very pleased and glad to announce that their retro-like mech action shooter “Explosionade DX” is now available for the PS5 (via PSN), PS4 (via PSN), Xbox One (via the Microsoft store), and Nintendo Switch (via the Nintendo Eshop).

“Explosionade DX” is a wild twist on 2D mech games, offering players giant, regenerating grenades, 2-player coop, and the revolutionary bouncing “Bubble Shield”. The DX version now includes 60 rebalanced levels, online features, and up-rezzed 4K art from the award-winning XBLIG hit.

“2D mech games are some of my favorite run and guns”, says lead designer, Nathan Fouts

“and expanding on the genre with Explosionade DX, by adding this crazy bouncing-bubble shield, has been a real thrill.”

Explosionade DX focuses on First Lieutenant Terry Atticus, who is a bit of a screw up. All his friends are storming the Horronym Fortress but Colonel Bouche leaves him to guard the supply depot.

Disregarding orders, Terry opens the depot to find a gigantic, prototype mech.
As Terry, players get to take the mech for a spin in the sewers, only to find a secret, secondary alien invasion that only they can stop!

Deluxe Treatment
The DX version features remastered graphics, and dozens of new levels. It also features brand new alien hazards such as the “Barf Bag” and “EMP beacon”. Online leaderboards add to the package as does a full suite of achievements.

The new “All Clear” challenges offer an additional mode, for gamers looking for a twist. Players must figure out how to destroy all the baddies in the level before exiting to get the All Clear and secure the Platinum Trophy on Playstation.

“Balancing out the game to be a fun, but serious challenge has been a dream come true”, says Fouts. “I love that with the All Clear challenges, the game offers some real punch!”

Out Now on All Consoles
The Xbox One version is now available worldwide. The Nintendo Switch version is available in the NA and EU/AU regions. Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 versions are also available in the NA and EU/AU regions.
