PC players can now experience the popular space-themed platformer mobile game Space Expedition.
Developer Mobirate dropped the PC version of Space Expedition via Steam on July 17. The Florida-based studio has also decided to launch the game for free following its decade-long success.
Originally released 10 years ago, Space Expedition has captivated the hearts of countless players worldwide,
developers said.
Space Expedition first came out for Android and iOS devices in 2014. Since then, it has already amassed over 1 million downloads, according to Mobirate.
Aside from porting Space Expedition to the PC, Mobirate also revealed the development of a sequel. Titled Genopanic, the studio will release the game on PC via Steam on October 23.
Developers described Genopanic as a "mysterious cosmic adventure" game. They added that it combines classic platforming elements with a dark and non-linear story. Genopanic follows the events of the Space Expedition. Like its predecessor, it will feature pixel-art illustrations and platformer mechanics.
Genopanic and Space Expedition are games that immerse players in a beautiful and interconnected world,
said Anton Belov, co-founder of Mobirate.
A horrific tragedy occurred on SIMBIRSK space station, where the story takes place. Players will have to explore the station with the help of two AI pets. They are LAIK, a friendly dog, and VOLGA, a mischievous cat-girl.
Along the way, they will encounter adorable and terrifying creatures. Since Genopanic is a non-linear game, players will have the choice to rescue or fight them.
The upcoming game also provides players with various weapons. These include swords, gravity guns, flamethrowers, and challenging boss battles.
Genopanic will also reveal the connection between Genopanic and the Space Expedition. The latter is set in the past on the ZARYA station on the planet Spectr.
