Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution Now On Adult Swim Games… With A Few Changes

Back in February, Adult Swim released Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution, sporting artwork by robotpencil. At the time, it was only available on Facebook. Now AS has finally release the game on their own site and changed a few things around. First thing you’ll notice is that there are no power-ups like on the Facebook version. Second is that now you won’t revert back to the Unicorn if you miss a star as the other creatures. And third is that they added a Rhino to the mix. Not sure if they moved the Sabretooth Tiger down or replaced it. One thing that still stands is that you have to hit three stars in a row to evolve. Miss one and the star count resets. The game is still as awesome as ever. Now if only they fixed that evolving in mid-air thing…

Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution – Play As More Than Just The Unicorn

About two weeks ago, Robotpencil alerted his watchers on DeviantART that Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution was released. You’ll probably recognize his work from several months back , which is the splash screen for the game’s title screen. Now about the game. It sports clean, updated graphics and the ability to play as a Panda, a Wolf, a Gorilla, and a Dragon. You unlock them as you destroy stars. So now the game feels like it has a goal (which is to get to the Dragon). You can also unlock abilities like an extra jump, gliding, and a steadier pace. For now you can only play Robot Unicorn Attack Evolution on Facebook. No word yet if Adult Swim will have it playable on their site.

Art of the Week: Feature 4 – robotpencil

You may have remembered some time last year that his artwork was featured on Kotaku. Well since then, robotpencil, real name Anthony Jones, has seen his popularity sky rocket and is reaping the benefits of his exposure since now he works at Sony Santa Monica. He is concept artist with them and is working on a few projects, including a graphic novel. His main base of operations is his website, but he is also on deviantART as well. What helped his popularity to grow was his interpretations of the Mario crew that the was shown in the initial Kotaku feature. It was reminiscent of the fan film There Will Be Brawl (and the movie that inspired it, There Will Be Blood). The manner in which he handled the subject matter made it stand out amongst other realistic reinterpretations of the Mario cast, in which a lot of them felt more like parodies of GTA that tried to hard, thus became distracting. Here, Mr. Jones interprets them in a manner that is believable. We can believe that Mario is a tough ol’ bastard, that Luigi is down on his luck, that Toad is a drug pusher, and that Peach has done more “work” outside being a princess. Many on dA are proud of what he has accomplished since his feature and wish him the best of luck.

After the break, you can see a small sample of his other fanart work below. But I’m only scraping the tip of the iceberg as I’m only showing what I can show, in keeping with the theme of the blog. He has a lot more amazing original artwork as well that deserves just as much attention. See it all on his website and deviantART gallery.
