GDC 2016: ‘Mars Mars’ – Jump Jump from Platform to Platform

What do you get when you combine platforms to lunar lander style gameplay? A neat little indie game we saw this afternoon called Mars Mars. In the game, you play as an astronaut on Mars (Surprise!) and you blast off from platform to platform, the tap either side of the screen to blast off thrusters to slow your landing to reach the next platform and then keep going.

The team is about two months out from release, and they’re planning on launching Mars Mars as a free to play game with Crossy Road style monetization. They’re hoping to have a bunch of different characters that you can unlock, which would change the visuals of the game. One in specific is a Jacques Cousteau-like character, and when you play it, instead of being on Mars and using rocket boosters, you’re under the sea blasting bubbles.

Seems neat, looks cool, and is fun to play.
