Asheville, North Carolina – Pixeljam Games, makers of the classic prehistoric racer “Dino Run,” Indiecade nominee and IGF honorable mentioned “Potatoman Seeks the Troof” and IGF Finalist “Gamma Bros,” have announced the release of Glorkian Warrior: The Trials of Glork, a collaboration with comic book artist James Kochalka. It’s a unique hybrid of Galaga-style shoot ’em up, simple platforming action and Saturday morning cartoon. Help Glorkian Warrior defend his asteroid against an endless onslaught of alien invaders, and be prepared for somewhat unexpected results!
