Interplay Discovery is a program launched by Interplay Entertainment in which Interplay publishes video games for indie developers. Five games have been released under the program and each is either a platformer or a puzzle video game and is released under digital distribution.
Pinball Yeah! is Interplay's first game by the Discovery program and their first game since their return. From a development team named Coderunners based in Portugal, Interplay released Pinball Yeah! as their first game on iOS, it was also available on the PC, Interplay's main market. Pinball Yeah! features classic forms of pinball as well as new forms in which the player has to fight against AI such as the Kraken and help pirates search for treasure by using a pinball. Interplay re-released the game for the Android in 2011.
The game features four pinball tables for the player to play from. The player must fight against an evil virtual AI system that wants nothing more than to see the demise of the players high score. The players can also play classic pinball as well as grab peanuts from the "Ye Old Irish Pub" to save up on Leprechaun life savings.
Tommy Tronic is Interplay's second game by the Discovery program and was developed by Oasis Games and was the studio's first project. Tommy Tronic is a platformer that was released exclusively for the PC. The game was well received by critics.
Tommy Tronic features classic platforming, 12 levels of mayhem in a child's opinion and an innovative new approach to platforming. The player must run away from Giant Carrots and fight mutated tomatoes. The game offers many bonus locations and secret areas for the player to search for as well as a progression system that contains weapons and power-ups.
The game's story revolves around Tommy Tronic, a child whose pet dog is stolen by a cruel bully.
Despite being the fourth announced game for the Discovery program, Homesteader is the third game released for the Discovery program. The game is developed by Bogemic Games and is a match-3 puzzle game. The game was released for the PC and the only true issue that was had with the game was a framerate error.
The player has to build a farm by matching three items, but not necessarily in a row. The game allows the player to move in eight directions rather than four which allows for more strategies. There are twenty-six levels featured per mission and four difficulty settings and chain reactions which can be turned off to increase difficulty. The game features two distinct modes, Blitz Mode in which players have a whole minute to complete the mission and Alaska Mode in which the players fight against an ever freezing ground.
