Press Release: ON THE LEVEL GAME STUDIOS LAUNCHES ROCK-N-ROGUE: A BOO BUNNY PLAGUE ADVENTURE FOR PC - January 18, 2017

Sequel to Boo Bunny Plague Delivers Strangest Gathering of Hellions to Compete in the Fieriest Battle of the Bands…Ever!

P.S. The Bunny is Back!

HOUSTON, TX – January 19, 2017 – A dungeon crawling, Heavy Metal musical melee from indie developer On The Level Game Studios, shreds its way onto Steam today. Players take part in the “hottest” battle of the bands competition in the Underworld, where the Devil (concert promoter) makes them do it…literally. Jam with Rock-N-Rogue: A Boo Bunny Plague Adventure in a ridiculously intense, 3rd-person top-down adventure with outrageous humor, absurd characters and packed with mayhem, monsters, music and magic…a head-banging gamers dream come true.  Rock-N-Rogue: A Boo Bunny Plague Adventure is now available for Windows PC via Steam, for $8.99 USD.

In Rock-N-Rogue: A Boo Bunny Plague Adventure,players can choose from four twisted but musically gifted characters – our eponymous hero Bunny (lead), his robotic pal Gunny (drums), the powerful pachyderm Ganny (bass) as well as favorite-of-the-underworld and the spawn of Satan herself, Faye (backup vocals). Each character features their own powerful musical instrument which delivers a unique fighting style — critical as the heroic garage band enters the depths of darkness and battles their way through the nine layers of Hades and beyond. Rock-N-Rogue: A Boo Bunny Plague Adventure also features: procedurally generated worlds to keep the action almost demonic, “Go Rogue” modes which are unlocked after completing the main game for new and tougher challenges with no saves or continues, dozens of godly weapons with special elemental powers, instrument upgrades to amplify the jam, Boomboxes with mysterious abilities and of course bat-$%!@ crazy Bosses.

“Our last game Boo Bunny Plague was a hack and slash music adventure, done our way and after we finished that up we thought wow where do we go next?” stated Jeff Reimert, Chief Executive Officer, On The Level Game Studios. “Music is what makes us who we are and our style and approach is unique in a way that is all our own. Once we landed on a dungeon crawler for the sequel, we knew we had to level it up on the audio front and we got lucky – we found mc chris, a popular rapper focused on nerd life and we knew he was a perfect match.”

This small indie team out of Houston, Texas is one with true heart. The adage “Good friends who play together stay together” exemplifies the camaraderie here between the three top members of the team. With a common love for music, and jamming together whenever they can, they’ve been resolute in taking their passions and creating a unique twist on a classic game genre. Following their first two titles, the team recruited mc chris, popular rapper focused on nerd life and writer, performer, actor and animator – his works include The Brak Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the award-winning Space Ghost. In addition, industry veteran John Melchior (The Allegiant, Ghostbusters, The Videogame, Scarface The World is Yours, The Simpsons: Hit & Run and Aliens Versus Predator 2), worked alongside other senior level talent whose portfolio includes God of War III, Pokemon Go, Ghostbusters: The Videogame, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Ratchet & Clank, Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Jak & Daxter, Uncharted 2 and Crash Bandicoot 2, among others.

Rock-N-Rogue: A Boo Bunny Plague Adventure is brought to you by On The Level Game Studios, creators of Boo Bunny Plague and survival horror golf game Curse of the Nordic Cove.

About On The Level Game Studios

In May 2011, Jeff and Carolyn Reimert opened the jar of On The Level Game Studios. The lid was stuck; so eight Houstonians with their talents and rubber gloves arrived at the scene to lend a hand. Soon after, the first game title was all over the table, the floor and their parachute pantsuits. The team grew to 12 including programmers, artists, sales and marketing, producers, musicians and evil-doers. Nearly two years later, the table and floor were cleaned (pants were stained – thanks, Brand X!), and the team released The Curse of Nordic Cove. The team is currently gearing up for the release of Boo Bunny Plague.
