We're already in-testing for our next three games to join the Elephant Collection, absolutely free (no paid DLC!). And with this expansion, every single Blue Elephant made will now be united under one actual roof (and some basement parts!) Game #1: Loot the Game It's time to pick up some sweet loots and go to battle! Attack train car after train car of loot-filled bins, and take whatever you can grab onto! Grind to keep getting new weapons and upgrades. It's a fight to the bitter end. See if you can defeat all 100 train cars! Game #2: Treadmillasaurus Rex Is there an elephant? No, but as my favorite game I've ever made, I felt it had a place in The Elephant Collection. Okay, so this time you're a T-Rex on a treadmill. Your job: survive as long as you can. In your way are spike balls and lasers, as well as an ever-increasing speed and difficulty. Prepare to burn some calories! The fun-fa…
- Year of Good Things, March Elephant Collection Update! - 1 March 2024
Hey folks! First off I'm working on a project called The Year of Good Things! It's a Kickstarter that is live now, would love your support to work on twelve brand-new games in the classic Flash spirit. All the games will be wrapped up and brought to Steam in the future! Back on Kickstarter! Second, updates on The Elephant Collection! Our current plan is to introduce LOOT! The Game in an upcoming update. If you have never played LOOT! The Game, its a Diablo-esque train chase... with guns!? Its a little wild and my last Flash game while at Armor Games, so a bookend to my time and career at the company. As we started thinking about where we should be adding games we thought about taking the elevator down... meaning we'll be adding a basement floor to the building to give us some space to add new games and achievements. Right now we're considering up to two non-elephant games to also includ…
- Steam Trading Cards, Badges, Emoticons, and more! - 22 January 2024
Happy 2024 Elephanteers! We're extremely excited that Steam trading cards, backgrounds, emoticons, and badges are now available! Love that badge progression: Likewise we have a lot of fun cards to be collected! And of course... some really delicious emoticons and backgrounds, but we'll leave you to discover those! As for The Elephant Collection, we're currently discussing what comes next! I know its been a minute since our last post, we've been focused on recovering from launch, holidays, and then preparing for all the fun new features that have just been added to Steam. One question we have for you all, if we were to add a new classic Flash game to the Elephant Collection, which game should it be? Doesn't have to be elephant-y, we're just curious! Thank you all as always for your support, and hope this year is shaping up to be one to remember!

- Release Date: Monday, November 6! New Trailer! - 18 October 2023
The Elephant Collection is wrapping up and we're excited to announce (finally!) that we will be launching on Monday, November 6 on Steam! We're pretty much there on the game being finished, just tightening all the bolts as much as possible and getting some QA cycles on the remaining items! Achievements are working and we'll be launching with 30 Steam achievements to start (of course there's like hundreds of achievements in these games to collect in these games anyway). For every achievement you earn you'll also unlock cool behind-the-scenes details on the development of the games and inspiration behind the entire series! There's some fun little secrets we snuck in last-minute into the game as well (players from Steam Next Fest already found one!). Speaking of which, THANK YOU to everyone who spent time with the demo at Steam Next Fest, it was really fun to get players into the game fina…

- We're back! A d̶i̶n̶o̶s̶a̶u̶r̶ elephant story - 17 May 2023
Hi there! We JUST ANNOUNCED THE ELEPHANT COLLECTION! This project has been five years in the making and I'm so relieved to share the game! Fun fact: This is my first trailer! I've never made a game trailer before, I made these games in a time where we didn't make trailers, magic of tiny little games :). If you haven't played any of my games before, just know they are simple to jump into metagames, hop-and-bops, and if you get stuck you'll be in the company of some of the best, kindest, and most supportive players. These games were fun to make and I hope they're fun for you too. So what's going on? Right now we're deep into moving the games to PC and that's going swimmingly. I'm working with The-EXP who you will know worked on the Flash games Shift, Upgrade Complete, Indestructotank, and many others. We're building a lil' world around the games as well, we'll share more soon. I know its…
