Explode patents. Freeze patents. Set patents on fire. Dissolve them in acid. But they'll fight back. A sidescrolling shooter inspired by the awfulness of patent illustrations.


Elephants charge at you with a stick of color acting like a lightsaber, before falling to your superior flamethrower, but not before they’re resurrected and your cackling evil twin erupts on the scene, literally flying in all directions, just above the hovering hollow bear with a freeze ray. I love games in which each second of gameplay can be described as thus; it’s delightfully ridiculous.
Chris Priestman, Indie Statik

...strange, juicy, and fun... The visual style of this game is unique.

0 comments by Zarkonnen on Apr 11th, 2013


The environment Patent Blaster's played in came together somewhat haphazardly. I wanted to keep the graphical focus on the creatures and the particle effects, and chose a bunch of muted wallpapers as a background. From this the idea evolved that the game is set in a rather oddly and tastelessly furnished mansion.

The House Update will flesh out this setting: shelves of musty old books, torches, tasteless china dogs, and, yes, even crates! You can smash them! They may contain things! Just be careful of the acid dripping from the ceiling and some of the more... unusual volumes in the library.
