GamesKeys.net has included Sausage Bomber as one of their Top Android Games to Look Out For in June! We are going to go ahead and tell you to look out for Sausage Bomber in July, August, and September as well. That’s how we do it here at Katsu. We go the extra mile for you.
Check out the full list here: https://gameskeys.net/top-android-game-to-lookout-for-in-june-2020
Hey all!
We know things are a little rough right now and we hope you're all staying as safe as you can be.
With all the conventions canceled for this year we decided to take the con to you! We've made a special demo build of our next game, DOGFIGHT, available for you to play at home. We figured a couch co-op shoot-em-up you can play together with up to four friends or family members, might just be what you need to spend an afternoon with your favorite shut-in people (kids, parents, pets, we’re not picky)
We really wanted to see you all play the game in person but we figure this is a pretty solid Plan B until we can see each other again.
The game is still pretty early in development as we've told you before. Please tell us what you think! Do you want to see the play the rest of it? What can we do to make this a must play for you and everybody you know? We'd love to get this game in your hands so the more of you who tell us they liked the games, the sooner we can get Dogfight on your plates for some more couch co-op fun!
You can download a zip file of the game FOR FREE for PC or Mac at the link below:
Send us your feedback at feedback@katsugames.com Remember, the more of you tell us they enjoyed the game, the sooner we can get the game finished!
Cheers and stay safe!
Tony and Stephane
As promised, it is time to reveal what Katsu has been up to these past few months. In 2020 we are returning to the world of Sausage Bomber with a new title. Introducing:
“Dogfight: A Sausage Bomber Story” is a side-scrolling multiplayer retro shoot-em-up coming first to PC. If you visited the Katsu booth at Playthrough GC or ECGC in the past couple of years you may have played an early version of the game. Well, it’s officially in active development now alongside other projects!
In case you’re wondering why we seem a little slower than in previous years, our team is back to its roots working on NASCAR games for the fine folks at 704 Games. As you can imagine, that takes a huge chunk of our time. We’re still making progress on Dogfight and are committed to get it out so you can all play it.
It’s still early to talk about release date so if you want to stay updated, subscribe to our mailing list and be the first to know. Don’t worry, we don’t write often, no spam from us :)
Here’s to 2020 and more blog updates than once every 2 years! As always you can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. Drop us a line, we’d love to hear from you.
Hi all,
Some of you may have noticed that Warhammer: Doomwheel is no longer listed in the app stores and may be wondering why. The long and short is our license with Games Workshop expired (as licenses do)
We had a blast with the game these past 3 years and we hope you did too.
YOU GUYS SMASHED EVERYTHING. THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO SMASH!
For all of you who bought the game, played the game, stopped by to say hello at cons or messaged us on social media, a huge thank you!
Massive thanks to Games Workshop for being, hands down, the best licensing partner we’ve had in our careers (and we had many) We greatly appreciate the chance to be a part of the Warhammer universe, even for a little while! We remain huge fans and look forward to the future of all things Warhammer.
What’s next for KATSU? A little too early to show but keep your eyes on this space in 2020 :)
One last time, in the immortal words of Bizkit “We must continue our great work! Yes-Yes!”
Cheers!
Another year and another successful East Coast Game Conference in the books! Thank you to everybody who stopped by our booth to play Warhammer: DOOMWHEEL and get a first look at Sausage Bomber: Dogfight!
A special thank you to everybody who attended our talk about level generation for DOOMWHEEL: Making Ground! For those of you who asked for the slides, you can find them here (minus GIF to keep the file size under 20MB).
Congratulations as well to the winners of the Indie Prize: Super Gravity Ball by Upside Down Bird. We can't wait to hear about your adventures in London.
We are already looking forward to next year so, tell us, what would you like to hear us talk about in 2019? What talk should we submit for next year's ECGC?
Looking towards THE FUTURE!
We have great news everybody! In case you haven't heard, Warhammer: DOOMWHEEL was selected to be in the Indie Showcase at PAX East from April 5th to April 8th!
We are super excited to make the trip to Boston next week and attend our very first PAX! We're even more excited for the chance to meet each and every one of you, so please don't be shy and come say "hi"! We're shy too but we really, genuinely, want to meet and talk to you!
We'll send updates from our 13hr road trip starting next Tuesday April 3rd! You can follow us along on Twitter.
So tell us, are you attending PAX East this year? What are you most looking forward to?
Hello again, ladies and gents, exciting things happened today. Did you catch us on Twitch TV during the CasualConnect MeetTheDevs live stream?
If not, you can watch the replay right here.

Big thanks to CasualConnect and Indie for hosting.
Another year starts and the waltz of events and conferences begins anew.
We are extremely lucky to have Warhammer: DOOMWHEEL as a finalist for the IndiePrize at Casual Connect USA 2018, and as always, we're in good company.
We'll be heading out to sunny Anaheim California on Monday for 3 days of intensive game-showing and people-meeting and we're sure it will be a blast. We're really excited about some of the people we'll get to meet there, including some names and companies that we're big fans of.
We're carrying laptops with us though, so we won't be completely out of the loop while traveling and we'll continue working hard on the games you know and love during the trip.
If you're in the Anaheim area, come say "hi" and maybe join us for a rid to Los Angeles and the deliciousness that is Daikokuya Ramen.
Here is the second session we gave at the East Coast Game Conference called "Sausage Bomber: The Recipe".
How we got Sausage Bomber done and launched while working full time jobs! Learn how we went about designing a simple game that would make us and players around the world laugh. From napkin sized design to the Android, iOS and Amazon app stores, lessons learned and concrete examples from a real life project on how to be a wiener… uh winner!
You can download the slides here.
If you enjoyed the presentation at the ECGC or the slides on this website, and feel like giving us a little love back, you can pick up Sausage Bomber in the iOS and Android app store. For a mere $1.99 you can get 128 levels of sausage bombing awesomeness that will make all your friends jealous. Plus, you'll be able to regale them with the tale of how the game was made now that you know :)
Hi everybody!
Last week was the East Coast Game Conference at the Raleigh Convention Center. Since we're in the area, this is always a great opportunity for us to meet the fans, showcase our newest games and get a little something back by sharing our experience during sessions at the event.
This year we gave two talks. The first one was called The Unsung Code and you can see the description below.
Rendering is AWESOME! Audio is AWESOME! Gameplay is AWESOME! So let’s talk about everything else instead. We’ll cover all the unsung code that players will never know is there but can make the difference between smooth sailing and development hell. How to tackle the glamour-less “must do” in a way that leaves room for all the fun fluff, or risk the wrath of the bitter hordes of “braindead code that should only have taken five minutes to write”!
You can download the slides here.
If you got a chance to attend the session, or didn't but wanted to go through the slides, let me know your thoughts in the comments! I'd love to hear about your own experience with game flows or with other types of unsung code you'd like to bring to light!
Hey Katsu fans, we've got big news! Today we are announcing our new project, DOOMWHEEL. Working with Games Workshop is a total blast and we can't wait to show you more. To start off, have a bite of this press release: DOOMWHEEL, a wickedly fast-paced infinite runner is currently in development by Katsu Entertainment, in collaboration with Games Workshop®. Doomwheel will be coming to mobile devices in 2017.
The Skaven underworld is a rat's nest of deceit, danger, and backstabbing. As an up-and-coming warlock enginseer of clan Skryre, your only goal is to rise through the ranks of the ratmen by building the ultimate engine of destruction: the fastest and most powerful Doomwheel ever made! Powered by scampering rats and hallucinogenic warpstone, the Doomwheel embodies the sheer inhuman ingenuity of the Skaven race: an enormous iron-reinforced wheel, outfitted with spikes, blades, and blasting powerful bolts of lethal warp lightning as it crushes all in its path: enemies, or the least fortunate of your allies.
Pilot your Doomwheel as it rattles through the battlefield at breakneck speeds in this fast-paced infinite arcade adventure. Dwarves got you down? Doomwheel. Rival clans done you wrong? Doomwheel. Goblin grief? Doomwheel. Shatter, skewer, shock and bounce foes of all shapes, sizes, and races as you claw out territory for yourself across the Old World. Develop a newer, deadlier, Doomwheel in your workshop while fending off the vengeful plots of your backstabbing rivals.
"No man-thing can think to surpass my genius, yes-yes!" said Ikit Claw, Clan Skyre Warlock Enginseer and talented inventor of the original Doomwheel. "Let them try!"
"Run, you fools!" said Imperial Wizard Thomas Steiner, immediately before disappearing beneath an active Doomwheel. Steiner was unavailable for further comment.
Doomwheel is coming to smash everything in its path on mobile devices in 2017. Because sometimes you just need to run things over: Doomwheel.
Given his incredible ability to injure himself with hot pokey things, something awesome must be in the works if Tony is picking up the soldering iron again. What's it going to be? Come see for yourself at next month's Playthrough Gaming Convention in Raleigh! We'll be back again to meet with gamers, play some Sausage Bomber and show off whatever this new mystery item is.If Tony can stay out of the emergency room.
