Bionic Commando Rearmed: Turning your Hastily-Sketched Spikey Pits into Glorious Digital Realities Since 2008!
April 11th, 2008 Seth KillianA few weeks back we posted a little Bionic Commando Rearmed contest, inviting you to design your own “Challenge Room” for the game. We got lots and lots of cool entries. Some people wrote out an idea, others drew, and some even turned the tools we provided into their own photoshopped masterpieces. Great and small, they all got sent off to the Bionic Commando team.
There, a spirited debate broke out (and, knowing that team, probably at least one slap-fight) over the winner. Eventually, they settled on this inspired scrawl from Aaron Sedillo, and turned it into…
(hit the jump to see the level)
This! which will be included in the final Bionic Commando Rearmed game:
Everyone that’s played BCR “Challenge Rooms” at one of our events can confirm–they are impossibly addictive. What’s the objective? Simply to get to the other side, as fast as possible. The simplicity plus the minimalist graphics actually make the whole thing very zen.
They’re also great because you end up learning new ways to use that Bionic arm that you might never have imagined just trying to slog through the game, what with people shooting at you and all. Once you’ve mastered a few challenge levels, however, you become a Bionic ninja, having mastered a whole slew of new techniques without even realizing you were in school.
Anyway, hats off to winner Aaron Sedillo. You’re a shining star. That’s what you are.
