Krome Studios Returns with ‘TY the Tasmanian Tiger: Boomerang Blast!’

Independent developers Krome Studios are set to return to the video game world after a near two year absence with their first title for iOS, TY the Tasmanian Tiger: Boomerang Blast!

It’s been some time since we last heard from Krome, former console developers out of Brisbane, Australia. Having created the original series TY the Tasmanian Tiger back in 2002, as well as a number of Star Wars and licensed titles across various home consoles, the studio closed down its Adelaide branch along with major cuts to its Melbourne and Brisbane teams in late 2010.

Thought to be closed for good, the studio suddenly came back from the brink a few months ago, posting the below image on a relaunched official website:

This week, Krome has released more detailed information on the soon to be released game, officially titled TY the Tasmanian Tiger: Boomerang Blast! It forgoes the platforming roots of the older console releases for an arcade style action shooter, with players swiping Ty’s boomerangs towards various targets on screen with the aim to get the highest score possible within a set time limit. A number of upgrades are bonuses are available to improve speed, accuracy and overall score, with full leader boards and achievements included.

No official release date has been confirmed as yet, though though Krome will self publish the title through the Apple App Store for both iPhone and iPad. Krome does have previous experience in mobile gaming too, having ported Full House Poker to Window Phone 7 in 2011, one of its last official projects.
