DESCRIPTION

De Mambo is The Dangerous Kitchen’s first game that lets players take control of up to four characters locked in infinite mambo! Help them escape this horrible—and somewhat provocative—despair! Knock your opponent off the screen… and use your measly one button to attack with three levels of charge! Break the level however you decide (thanks to some flimsy architecture) to make your game marginally different each time you play.

History:

De Mambo is The Dangerous Kitchen’s first game that was for the best part designed and constructed in a Premier Inn. It started as a learning experience to better their games design and programming capabilities. After the initial prototype, they kept on adding until they realised that they had something special.

DEVELOPER HISTORY

The Dangerous Kitchen is like that nostalgic, homemade dish you loved as a child. The one you rushed home from school for. The dish that even now, the thought of devouring it, melts your mind. Now imagine that dish was spiked with a ton of hot sauce. Yep, that’s us, in a nutshell. We also make games and are based in London, England.

The Dangerous Kitchen is Amit Rai, Lucy Dove and Shaun Roopra, best served in this order.

Past:

There was nothing miraculous about The Dangerous Kitchen’s birth, no explosive beginning and they are certainly not built upon heaps of ‘blood money’ obtained through a myriad of fraudulent activities—erm scratch the last bit. No, The Dangerous Kitchen is simply composed of three people who met at university and decided to make games.

Present:

The Dangerous Kitchen is hard at work on their first game De Mambo whilst also pondering a pizza based theory of relativity.

Future:

Not yet happened.
