NEW MISSION: FIRST CONTACT LANDING ON NEXT FEST!

Hey there Sol Mateys!Thank you to everyone who’s joined us on our journey so far! With all your feedback and love, you’ve fueled our brand new demo update for Steam Next Fest (on June 15th!)Here’s what you can expect:A Whole New Mission: The Glorbonians are in town! You’ve only ever seen pictures of these goopy aliens, so what better opportunity to go join the celebrations? I just hope nothing goes wrong on the way…?

New Friends: We’ve added brand new playable races to the game! There’s the Godents, who can hop around the ship faster than anyone (until they accidentally fall into the trash chute), the Dynamos, whose internal battery can be used to power everything around it, and the Glorbonians, whose ability to eat anything allows them to store extra items in their backpacks. You’ll have to unlock them by playing more of the demo, but I’m sure that’ll be no sweat to seasoned crew members like y’all~

New Hats (and other cosmetics): Yea, I know what you’re really here for, and we got a buncha new hats too~ Check out how they fit on the new aliens too, cause it sure is silly seeing groucho marx glasses on a squirrel!

New Enemies/ Upgrades/ Shops/ Events: Honestly, there’s too much stuff to list on here, but here’s some highlights: some evil new enemies that heal other enemy ships, a new ammo type that supercharges your damage but breaks your weapon afterwards, and the Cowmedian event, where you can earn your entry into the Big Cheese Club.

As always, we’re building this as a game for you to enjoy, so drop by our Discord or hit us up on our socials for your thoughts, criticisms and suggestions. I read all of them!

Enjoy the shiny new stuff (in less than 2 weeks)!

-Loren, Simon and the Sol Mates
