New Retro-Themed Windows/Mac Game now available
Spacework, released on 22th December for Mac platforms (but it is available on PC too) is about minimalism. Minimalism is over all!
The story is simple: you are on Triton and your mission is to find and regain the monolith. You need to scrape through the territory of attacking and continuously regenerating enemies and collectors. Then go to your spaceship and leave the Triton…
In the demo version only 15% of the full area is visible and the enemies are weaker, the jetpack time is shorter.
Spacework has more to offer than an enjoyable plot. A futurism combined with retro appears both in the story and the visual world of the game through the pureness of its plot, colours and forms, which all fuse into an irresistible, tense dynamism.
“We wanted to create a game, that is about the possibilities. About the implacable minimalism to move in a fully sterilized space between the simplest forms…”
Spacework cannot only be regarded as an entertaining game, but as a design product as well.
The game is available in two edition: red and orange, which are different only in color. Why these are separated? “We like things that only has one way to use. No options, no settings, only the original idea in both edition.”
Check out the video below and then head over to their website to get the demo.

Chase It! (Brand new Atari Game) to be released soon by GDG’s Homebrew Heaven
We don’t yet have much information except this label picture. But from speaking with Michael at Good Deal Games, the GREAT news is that this will most likely be a “budge” release game. So I would expect the price to be less than $20. I will post more information as it becomes available.
