Game of Watchcraft released early in Australia to celebrate PAX AUS

To celebrate the success of PAX AUS, the two-man Melbourne indie studio Clicker today released Game of Watchcraft: Spawn of Squishy onto the Australian App Store.

Game of Watchcraft is desribed as “a ‘demake’ of everyone’s favourite MMO reimagined as a 1980’s LCD portable game console,” according to Clicker.

In the game — the first of Clicker’s LCDemakes series, you’ll play as Squishy, “a priest on a mission to complete quests, kill bosses and level up. The game includes a persistent, levelling up hero, four different quests and authentic retro gameplay,” Clicker said.

Game of Watchcraft: Spawn of Squishy is compatible with iPads, and is available now in Australia. It will be released globally on 14 August 2013.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
