Description

Power Level Studios was founded by Danny Forest in 2013. Based in Toronto, Ontario Danny has been making games ever since RPG Maker 2000 (RM2K) was released. He has learned about game development using tools like RPG Maker and Game Maker and became a professional game developer in 2009. He worked on Drag Racer World at XMG Studios Inc. and Please Stay Calm at Massive Damage Inc. Rogue Sharks Arcade is Power Level Studios' debut game.

History

Power Level Studios started out by working on a mobile old school RPG designed specifically for touch screens. Back then though, Danny was still working for Massive Damage, so he didn't really have much time to work on it. Three months later, he decided it was too complicated and too risky for a first title. His new idea was to make a similar game to the old school helicopter flash game (http://www.helicoptergame.net). The first theme that came to mind was sharks, for some reason. Therefore, development of the game started around the time Danny left Massive Damage to work for Sauropod Studio. He was on contract there for 3 months, and decided not to renew the contract, not because he didn't like it, but because he believed in Rogue Sharks (named Cruising Shark Attack initially).

Full-time development started on June 6th 2014. We've released daily builds on roguesharks.powerlevelstudios.com ever since that day. You can still play the first version of the game to that day and see the progression day by day!

Rogue Shark Arcade will be released on July 30th 2014 on Kongregate.com and on PowerLevelStudios.com. The goal is to get feedback on the web version first before releasing on other platforms. PC/Mac, mobile and Vita version are planned for release this year.

Rogue Sharks Arcade is a stripped-down version of our upcoming Rogue Sharks game. Rogue Sharks introduces more meta game, including evolutions, abilities, challenges and more! Rogue Sharks should be out this year as well.
