The Dishwasher Alpha Gameplay

totallyscrewed asked:
This is a hastily edited gameplay video from Ska Software’s Xbox360 title The Dishwasher. It’s a 2D sidescroller that borrows a lot of inspiration from titles like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry and uses some fun Xbox360 pixel shader goodness for effects like blurs, rippling water, and bloom.
Note: This is an old, old build, pre-Gamefest, in fact.

I’ve played through the lone level (on story) at least thirty times now. it’s just that good. lots missing from the prototype on XNA, but holy crap does this game rule. I made a point never to buy an XBox360 game (got an elite, games, wireless headsets and controllers for free). this game might make me break that promise.

And lets not forget Dishmagic , aka some of the sickest area attacks I’ve ever seen in 2d and 2nd sickest when compared to 3d..kratos still takes the cake there

I just played through the demo. Then I played through it about 3 more times. Man, this game is ridiculously addicting and fun. Best of luck to Ska in getting this out to the masses. I think they have a hit.

Looks like a cross between Samurai Jack, God of War and Castlevania, watched some of the other videos and LOVE the finishing combo moves.

Nice particle effects, pretty impressive.

Despite its roots this idea is very original, I hope you guys succeed in getting this released

you guys need a game like soldat, but with way better graphics, a game like that would be very popular and make you guys rich.

Yay! Ska Software is awesome. It looks kind of like devil may cry. Now, I just want to see Survival Crisis Z mmorpg style.

this looks absolutely amazing and fun man.
how’d you do the full screen blur effect? i’m learning XNA myself and shaders are my huge stumbling point, and I think a full screen blur would be a good place to start.

Love the agents and robot ninjas.
