Orangepixel releases the fastest turn-based game in the galaxy on Switch.
Orangepixelâs Space Grunts is NOW available on Switch, the second game in a lineup of monthly game releases from the prolific indie game developer from the Netherlands.
Den Helder, Netherlands – October 5th, 2020 — Orangepixel, a Dutch one-man outfit, has been creating a wide variety of games since 2004. Releasing them on platforms ranging from PC, to mobile, to consoles like the 3DS and PS Vita. Covering various genres and always depicted in high quality pixel-art.
Space Grunts is an interesting mix of genres, itâs a turn-based game, but playable as a fast paced arcade game IF the player chooses to. Space Grunts is the, successful, result of a challenge the developer received: Create a game thatâs in a genre you donât know or donât like.
A procedurally generated space base sets the scene for a sci-fi roguelike where the player dictates the pace and speed of the game. Want to go in âguns blazingâ? Then go for it, but if you need a little breather, just take it slow, and everything in the game world will stand down until itâs their turn again.
Watch the Space Grunts trailer here:
The year 2476, Earthâs space-federation has been building moon-bases across the galaxy. One of the newer moon-bases has been sending out distress signals.. You play as one of the Space Grunts, a team of âproblem solversâ, and your mission is to find your way into the moon-base, and figure out what has happened.
