Trev and Ben limit themselves to Platforming and Puzzles in this weeks Click Pitch. Games include Canabalt 2 but this time you control the buildings, picnic tower defence, the story of Eeyore fighting Nazi's and finally the long awaited sequel to Portal set in Australia.

To celebrate Adventure Jam 2019 (#advjam2019) Ben and Trevor made nothing but adventure games this week, and came up with a Good Omens inspired story of a modern day messiah, a VR game about sitting at the kid's table at a super hero's dinner party, the battle between two rival gyms, a game where Tintin is shipwrecked AGAIN, and more!

The epic story of the humble tip office clerk's redemption, digital druids saving deer in a Big Game Hunter style game, building a house while performing ballerina moves in a Tony Hawk Pro Skater way and saving the world in the newest big budget co-op game set in the Avengers universe. Ben and Trevor are back for some more Click Pitch!

A VR wedding photographer game, carpenters vs bricklayers, senior citizens fighting zombies, and more in this episode of Bit Storm! Disclaimer: Ben & Trevor struggled with technical difficulties so this episode is a little shorter than usual and a bit choppy, sorry about that!

Ben and Trevor dive into the real story behind the Purple People Eater song by Sheb Wooley, as well as many other crazy game ideas, such as: the teenage genius who figured out cold fusion, Mother Nature's favorite forest, the tragic tale of a lifeguard and a trip to 1980's outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

Ben and Trevor are back with a VR game set entirely through the literal frame of a front door, an alien world where sunlight gives you bullet time, papercraft surgery, celebrity fruit, a monstrous version of The Bachelor, and more!

Ben and Trevor return to bring you more insane games that will never be made. A romantic fiction writer has a brush with the supernatural, mindless zombies can be returned to sanity with music, a side scrolling brawler with constant narration and a husband and wife must escape from a creepy doll filled mansion.

It's a body horrific episode, as Ben and Trevor somehow imagine up games about sentient flesh houses, a serial organ transplanter, a Funniest Home Video simulator, an adventure game about a stage magician and her nemesis, a combinatorial racing game, and more!

The mysterious duck lord haunts 2-4 lonely individuals, designing the Winchester mansion, making friends while space battles happen overhead and try to stop FUSS Jnr from stealing the childrens souls. Just some of the game ideas discussed by Ben and Trev this week on Bit Storm in yet another Click Pitch segment.

A high stakes battle to give your mother your kidney in a dystopic future, a skilled team of Dream Walkers exploring their enemies psyche, an ancienct curse creating zombies from whole cloth, pet rock battles, and the secret life of Hyacinth Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances. You heard me.

A submarine ride to hell, passing notes in class, a sentient robot fighting back against the oppressors, and solving murders with a Minority Report inspired interface - all this and more as Ben and Trevor take random words and turn them into game designs.

Drinks ahoy! In this episode of Bit Storm, Ben and Trevor bring out their narrative side as they create games exploring a thief on the streets of turn of the century London, biological weapons in the most literal sense of the word, a town quarantined after a terrorist attack, and a young page's exploration through a medieval city to figure out what exactly happened last night after all that mead.

Ben and Trevor return once again to create zany games featuring ideas such as a murderous dinner party, battlefield tic-tac-toe, an alien that was swapped at birth and of course a quantum horse. How did they come to these conclusions, find out in this episode of Bit Storm.

Ben and Trevor have returned from the quickest hiatus in history to bring more weird ideas from the depths of their collective minds. Games discussed include: the newest comic book "hero" the Handyman, a factory controlled by monkeys, a necromantic/instructional kids game and a Metroidvania where two stoners go in search of the mysterious "Yellow".

Replicating wreckages, fighting premonitions of death and fate, inflicting world peace via mattresses, a cock (rooster) wielding a blowtorch to save chickens, a hospital fighting the resistance to “laughter is the best medicine” and lastly an insomniac wanting nothing but just some alone time in the night without disrupting their loved one’s sleep.

Drew Agnew, from the House of Mario podcast, joins Ben and Trevor this week to discuss numerous fake games with ludicrous themes such as, a 90 second Battle Royale game with a twist, exploring a giant floating turtle, eyedrops that cause eyes to become sentient, and finally an 8 bit RTS Battle Royale with hacking mechanics.

A detective interrogating the maker (of the universe?), an adventure game based loosely on American Vandal, a Lost real time strategy set in an alternate universe and a new breed of heroes come together as a Special Tusk Force. Ben and Trevor laugh their way through these ideas and more.

To celebrate joining the Atebit Collective, Brendan White of The Hungry Gamers joins Ben and Trevor this week, bringing a new army of villainous dentists into the Bit Storm canon, plus a superhero lion, a date gone very wrong, a very hungry lawn, a parrot detective, and more of his dark desires.
