PMPY has been out for a week! It’s a little scary to watch our labour of love go out into the world to be played by people we’ve never even met. Some of those people are members of the press, and luckily, a whole bunch of them seem to like the game, and have even said so in public!
Here are some of our favourites:
We met up with Jess Joho from Killscreen at GDC,
and had a great time talking about all the things we love about PMPY,
from designing for accessibility, to making gross sound effects, and
even what it might be like to be attached to your grandma for your whole
life.
Megan Farokhmanesh and Allegra Frank from Polygon teamed up (how appropriate) to review PMPY, and gave it a score of 8.5! We were thrilled that they called PMPY “one of the most fast-paced, unique and entertaining additions to the genre”.
We were so pleased to read that Lizzie Finnegan from The Escapist
spent Mothers Day playing PMPY with her kids! The thought of an entire
family playing PMPY together makes me so so so happy, and to hear that
“from youngest to oldest, [they] all enjoyed the hell out of it” makes
it even better.
Tim Poon over at Platform Nation
had a really interesting take on the role of unspoken cooperation that
is needed to succeed at PMPY - something that we generally take for
granted because this sort of instinct and intuition has become second
nature for us. It’s especially rewarding to see someone ‘get’ an element
of your game that you hadn’t ever put into words yourself.
PMPY’s been featured in a whole bunch of streams - PewDiePie, Polygon, Kotaku, Giantbomb, Achievement Hunter and many more! We’ve curated a playlist of the best ones over on the House House Youtube Channel.
We’ve got a few of our favourites after the cut:
