Description

Metagalactic Blitz is a sci-fi, cel-shaded dodgeball arena game. Choose your character from a roster containing wildly different playstyles, and blast your opponents off the edge of the map with physics based attacks.

History

Jared Cook started working on his own game projects in college, and Peter Carlson started 3D modeling in high school. They started making video games together when they met in their classes at Iowa State University (and bonded over their fondness for Smash Bros). They spent a couple of years creating small game projects in college before graduating.

In their last year of school, Jared and Peter started working on Metagalactic Blitz, and pulled Matt Rottinghaus (8 Bit Cypher) on board to make the soundtrack. After the first year of development, they decided to add online multiplayer to the game, and pushed back the release date to make sure they had a solid game. On May 19th, Metagalactic Blitz entered early access. During a period of 6 months, new arenas were added, as well as more online functionality and lots of polish. The full version was released on November 16.
