Let us introduce ourselves and our little project Landit Bandit which will be “landing” on the PlayStation Store on July 13th for $9.99.
We are five gamers, commonly known as “The Bearded Ladies,” that have been lucky enough (or mad enough!) to live our dream of making a game for the PS3. We never gave the low odds of success a second thought — and that’s just as good as we (two programmers from the auto industry, a janitor, a liquor store salesman, an expedition leader from Nepal) would never have made a PS3 game. We’ve included a picture so you know what you are dealing with here.
The game, Landit Bandit, is a wacky 3D helicopter adventure that pays homage to several old classics such as Ugh! and Crazy Taxi. The controls are intuitive and resemble Moonlander in 3D, but are deep enough to have you playing for hours to master them. The game is aimed at anyone that enjoys flight games or physics-based games in general, or anyone that wants to play something different…’cause we are confident you have not played anything like this before.
One of our goals was to vary the way the game is played, but keep the flight basics at the core of each level. We achieved this by both using the physics of the surroundings and even more by the fact that you gain abilities by picking up “wing men.” The wing men alter the ways you can control your helicopter and give you new opportunities to shave seconds of that online high score.
Since we are big fans of split-screen gaming, Landit Bandit features both drop-in co-op as well as six different split-screen duels.

Hey guys just had to to say, your game looks amazing. Looks simply fun and addictive, and I love small little titles like this. At the amazing price of $9.99 it is a day one purchase for me, possibly on both my psn accounts.
Love supporting the little guys, hope you have plans for a new project for the psn after your nice little break. Also it’s always nice to see the devs drop in and respond to comments. It’s a shame that most of the bigger devs don’t do it that often, maybe just don’t have the time or maybe there’s just too many questions and comments. However it seems all the smaller devs are always very friendly on the playstation blog, and I love that about this community.
This is so awesome! And it is totally a new experience for all of us. We have until now only been on gamers site of the forums so we do know what you mean.
And we would love to keep on making games as we have two other IPs up our sleeve, that are waiting to become on the Network titles.
