Help DJ Bunny on her quest to play a set at the famous Hippity Hop Music Festival.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Thanks to my line of work I get along to a lot of videogame events. However, I don’t often get to take my kids along to them, in fact, we normally get along to Norwich Games Festival and that’s it. This year we went along to the debut Good Game Dev Fest<\/a> in London (disclaimer, I was involved in organising it) and something really cool happened: My daughters (9, 13) took turns running through the full demo of a game together, and that game was DJ Bunny<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That’s because DJ Bunny<\/em> is incredibly approachable. It’s full of bright colours and a simple-to-follow narrative. Even the puzzles within it are fundamentally simple: A case of covering over a snake of tiles to connect tiles of matching colours. The added joy here \u2014 the thing that makes it more than just a path-building puzzle game \u2014comes from two different elements: The happy, bright world and its characters and how intrinsic music is to the whole experience.<\/p>\n

As you start piecing together your path, especially in the longer levels, the audio becomes more complex and clearer, with each consecutive stage inside a challenge adding more instruments as you successfully progress. The counterpoint is that, cleverly, as you start to err or misplace pieces it warps and wobbles. This is fantastic audio-feedback for players, and perfectly fits DJ Bunny<\/em>‘s setting. It’s clever, and something I hope to see in more games in future.<\/p>\n

I know that we all love to see systems rich or stylistically unique games breaking through from the indie space, however the reason that I first started writing about video games was because any game could be somebody’s first, or somebody’s favourite game. Seeing my daughters working together to clear the build of DJ Bunny<\/em> reminded me of that, and really warmed my heart.<\/p>\n

DJ Bunny doesn’t currently have a release date, but when it does release it’s expected to do so for Windows PCs.<\/em><\/p>\n
