Planet Telex

Mars here, just tidying up the page in preparation for an update which will hopefully be up in time for this year's Mega-Mix! Down below you can read our thoughts...or not hehe...if you're not much of a reader, TL;DR : There will be an update adding new gameplay elements! (We will also keep the OG version available to download, sort of like we did with Monkey Gear Solid.

York : 
What we're aiming for with the update is an endless survival horror experience. Using items around the room to soothe Jamie's psyche. This is what we wanted the fridge and bong for, but, unfortunately ran into a roadblock mid development with object interactions. Something a little more concrete. I feel like this game was unfortunately rushed near the end, and some ideas we had were lost in translation. 

Mars :
Tone Changes.
After finishing up with a recent game jam entry for ShroomJam with our game MeatKeapr, we realized how much we enjoy making surreal games, we really hope to make an much more engaging environment out of Jamie's basement, making items rearrange themselves and making you wonder if you really just saw something move out of the corner of your eye. 

Zach : 
I hope that everyone enjoys what The Bends becomes, and that original players come back to check it out. After reading so many of  your comments we've been wanting to give everyone more. It feels like everyone saw some real potential, but it just didn't hit that mark of a great payoff, and we'd like to change that now that we have some time!! 

Donny : 
Thank you for all your support. Things have been crazy lately. Straight out of surgery, right after this jam and shroomjam, then in the middle of recovery we even made some cash off MeatKeapr--how crazy is that!! It felt insane to have something succeed so well, and we wanna come back to The Bends now and get it up to par after learning more about 3D game development.
