Do you like 2D shoot-em-ups? If so, then boy do I have a good interview for you. Today we're going to spend about an hour talking to Paul Marrable, the founder and developer at Flump Studios. He has a brand new game coming out called Hyper Bounce Blast, and it has a fun gimmick we'll spend some time talking about. We also go over the importance of TxK, Doom, American sitcoms, math, the best old school shooters and even Assassin's Creed. This is the first of a series of interviews where I talk to developers I think you should get to know. That's definitely true of Paul, who joins us from the UK.


For what it's worth, I do know the difference between Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games, I'm just a lot more used to saying one and not the other. Hyper Bounce Blast hits Steam on May 27 for just $5, an attractive price for what you get. We'll be back in a few days with a full review, as well as a contest where you can win a copy of Hyper Bounce Blast and Horizon Shift.
