BotHeads: a stylish, fun #MadeWithCorona game and more...

 [Corona Labs ] [Corona Digest]( August 4, 2017 Featured game: BotHeads [BotHeads]( is somewhat an unrelated follow-up to [Hanger World]( from A Small Game, an independent game studio in Stockholm, Sweden. Imagined by Richard Åström and Christian Östman, [BotHeads]( was designed to be a simpler, easier-to-play game than its older sibling while still capitalizing on the experience of Hanger World. [BotHeads screen shot]( [BotHeads]( is an atmospheric arcade adventure game with a lot of style, but it can be best described as “an amazing dream where Sonic The Hedgehog™, transformed into a flying robot, is trapped in badlands filled with weird monsters and cats with laser eyes,” according to Östman. [BotHeads]( has been featured worldwide by Apple. It’s available for free from the [Apple App Store]( and [Google Play]( with an in-app purchase to remove advertising. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Appodeal]( [Download Corona]( From the Forum This week we look at: [Look up in the sky…]( New cloud-based tools are now available.
