Solo indie developer and sheep enthusiast Quantum Sheep is hard at work on his latest game after Air Supply – SOS ($1.99) released earlier this year, with Docking Sequence. The game is about docking a spaceship with a space station, using a limited amount of fuel, and with an innumerable amount of hazards that pop up. Asteroids, space mines, rotating space stations, black monoliths, and more? All common hazards for you, space cowboy. And your ship has a pesky habit of blowing up a few seconds before running out of fuel, which feels like something that engineering should have sorted out a while ago. Oh, and there’s astronauts to save as well, with some levels requiring a certain number of astronauts to provide a successful docking.
The game is ultimately about trying to make it through as many dockings as possible without dying for high scores, though there are new ships, music, and color schemes that can be unlocked by playing and collecting certain objectives, like other Quantum Sheep games. Expect this one to release, pending Apple approval, next Thursday for $0.99, with no IAP. We have a forum thread chatting about the game if you’re interested in hearing more.
