A New Action-Strategy Title Awaits; Check Out Australia Did It’s Reveal Trailer!

Australia Did It is a turn-based tower defense game that innovates by adding reverse bullet hell to the mix. Set in a world where the Atlantic Ocean has been dried up, and what is left is a wasteland crawling with oversized bugs, mutated creatures, and dangerous reanimated ancient weapons.

Thankfully, players are there to find a job inside of this catastrophe. Namely, they’ll escort precious cargo across the hostile terrain while holding off the endless monster waves!

Ismail, the game’s Lead Designer, had to say,

I believe the games industry has been failing at supporting developer innovation and experimentation. Publishers, investors, and shareholders fund the same few safe bets, later and later in development - forcing even the most creative developers to make safe games with predictable ideas, and force in the latest flavour-of-the-day. That continues until someone does manage to break the mold and creates something truly new - and then the money chases that until that is replaced again. I had very low hopes for this odd prototype I’d been playing with, but when I showed it to Mystic Forge, they didn’t even flinch at the experimental genre mix, wrote the check for a small development cycle, and supported us throughout development. No guardrails, no caveats, just a firm belief that games need new ideas, and that it is worth chasing that.

Randy Greenback, Portfolio Director at Mystic Forge, also had the following to add,

From the very start, I knew that Mystic Forge had to run with Rami going up to bat and taking a big creative swing with this game. Once we chatted about design intent with the focus on high-tension moments and heard his full pitch with the proposed title name, we were ALL IN. Mystic Forge exists to support ideas that deserve to be seen and played, especially if they don’t follow the rules. Australia Did It is experimental, there isn’t anything else like it.

Here’s what you can expect from Australia Did It:

• Tactical tower defense with reverse bullet hell (survivor-like) gameplay.
• More than 30 units to unlock.
• Over 1,500 combinations through merging.
• Gain perks and boosts after every run to grow stronger.
• Various train models to unlock, each offering unique stats.
