Blurst launches Time Donkey
A brand new Blurst game, Time Donkey, has been released, letting players take control of a crazy donkey as he (?) sets out on a new adventure. This Donkey has been inadvertently trapped in the same 30 seconds of time, over and over again. You can check the game out at blurst.com. Enjoy the tacos. The developers claim that it plays out a bit like Cursor*10 in 3D.
Blurst also announced that it is now selling downloadable versions of many of its games! Starting today you can buy Time Donkey and Crane Wars and later on you’ll be able to buy Blush, Off-Road Velociraptor Safari, and games. These downloadable versions will cost $11.95 and include full-screen graphics, better performance, Windows/Mac builds, and un-timed “sandbox” modes. All future updates are free, and you can re-download the games you buy as often as you need.
You can by Crane Wars and Time Donkey here and here, respectively.
I urge you to support Blurst because they make awesome, off little games that are fun.
