I don’t think runners in general are as enjoyable on other platforms compared to phones and tablets. It’ll be out first for iOS platforms, and we do plan on getting it out for Android, too. It will probably remain as a mobile game. Will Chucky: Slash & Dash eventually go onto other platforms or will it stay exclusively for smartphones and tablet devices? We felt some pressure there, but we knew we had assembled a solid development team, so we knew they’d make a great game, no matter what.
Well, sure, when you’re working on a series you love, whether it’s a game or movie (or in this case both), you want to make sure it’s as good as possible. They didn’t literally walk through every part of the factory sequentially, though, so we had to get imaginative and created the whole thing from start to finish.ĭo you feel a lot of pressure in bringing Chucky into the gaming world for the first time? Some of the game’s environments come from the movies themselves, especially the second one. Did you refer back to the movies to create the location or have you created a new vision for the game?īoth, actually. The game takes place in the Good Guy factory. Put on some headphones and jam out to the music as you attempt to complete all of the levels in this very difficult online game. You must complete each level in one try to beat it. We worked especially closely with Universal to make sure we got his look just right. Dash through each level as you try to avoid all of the blocks and obstacles. We liked how cool he looked in his “damaged” form and based the model in the game off of that look. We looked at the way he looked in each movie In the early ones, he looked a lot more like a traditional doll, whereas in the later ones he almost looked like a little human being. What did you do to recreate his likeness and ensure that you got it spot on? I think part of it is that some licensed games back in the day weren’t so great, so companies rightly became more protective of their brands and wanted to make sure it was the right fit before agreeing to anything.įans of Chucky are very particular about the way he looks. Horror movie monsters have had games as far back as the days of the NES, so it is a wonder it’s taken so long to get Chucky one. Why has it taken so long to turn the franchise into a game? A lot of runners tend to have the camera behind the player the whole game, but in Chucky: Slash & Dash, we have three different camera angles, so players can get a really good look at the character they’re playing outside of the menus.Ĭhucky: Slash & Dash is the first licensed Chucky game to hit the gaming market. It’s pretty satisfying, in a cathartic sort of way. Chucky have a few different kill movies, including one in which he jumps on an enemy, flips over to his back, then stabs him in the neck.
What sets Chucky: Slash & Dash apart from everything else out there?Īside from having the ruthless redhead himself, players really get to take out enemies. The mobile gaming market is flooded with endless runners at the moment. A runner just felt right, especially if you remember how creepy it was when you got some glances of him running around in the first movie! It just wouldn’t do to have Chucky in a non-action-oriented genre either, like a puzzle or adventure game. Platformers can be fun on mobile devices, but the controls aren’t always as tight as you might want them to be. Having watched all the Chucky movies ourselves, we thought it would be more fun to play as Chucky instead of as a potential victim. We felt it was the best balance of accessibility and fit for the platform. Why did you decide to put Chucky into that type of game rather than a platformer or point-and-click?
We’ve got some audio clips from the movies in the game, too, so they’ll probably get a chuckle, so to speak, out of playing the game too. Upgrades increase the experience points per kill or the attack speed for each weapon.īatteries can also be spent to improve power-ups (battery magnet, auto run, and more), and buy boosts (extra lives or long starts).They can look forward to having some visceral fun running around as Chucky, stabbing enemies as they revisit some familiar places from the movies.
