“Quite simply some of the most okayist games I’ve ever played”
Who we are
Welcome to Jewel Throne Games! We are a small indie game developer that specialises in retro-style arcade games of the type that could be found at seaside resorts in the mid-80s. A lot of our stuff is small-scale and pretty derivative, but hopefully fun and challenging for the player.
We have an itch.io site for our current game, Astro Hammer.
Astro Hammer
Astro Hammer is a score-attack game where the main aim is to stay alive. It is inspired by early-80s arcade games such as Astro Blaster, Galaxians and Space Invaders. The game is simple in nature, but achieving big scores is deceptively challenging. There is a score multiplier mechanic and a power-up cool-down, which enables the player to use a little bit of risk/reward to achieve the highest scores.
The game is best played on a mobile phone, but is also available on PC and Mac. It can be downloaded on itch.io and is donation-ware. We don’t expect to receive any money, but if you want to buy us a beer or a coffee because you’ve enjoyed the game, then please do! Watch out for more games coming within the next few months — we’ll post some info either on itch.io or here as development moves along. Take care all.
