Bizarre Creations spin-off Hogrocket launches first game
One of the companies that rose from the ashes of former video games giant Bizarre Creations has released its first game.
Liverpool-based Hogrocket yesterday launched iPhone game Tiny Invaders on Apple’s App Store.
Hogrocket was launched in March by Stephen Cakebread, Peter Collier and Ben Ward – all of whom lost their jobs when Bizarre was closed in February by US parent Activision.
They are focusing on games for mobile platforms, rather than on the console games made by giant studios such as Bizarre.
Tiny Invaders sees players control a band of “space germs” trying to take over the world. Gamers can lead the germs towards their ultimate target – the President of the United States.
Speaking to LDP Creative last night, after the game had been on sale for several hours, Mr Collier said: “All the signs so far are that it’s been received really well.
“We’ve had quite a lot of support from the gaming press because of what happened at Bizarre. It’s been really heartwarming to see that support come through.
