Lastronaut

Hi Touch Arcade!

Just wanted to share my upcoming iOS game Lastronaut! I am the Lead Mobile Designer at Firefox (Mozilla) and I have been working on this game with a friend for 2 years. We're from Toronto, Canada and grew up playing video games on the NES ans SNES... and have always dreamed of giving something back to the industry I loved. This is my love-letter to gaming, and will be free, forever. And when I say free, i mean FREE. No ads, no in-app purchases, no nothing – just you and the game



"The year is 2015: Mankind has created it's first sentient machine: a humanoid robot. If we only knew what would happen next, we probably could have saved ourselves. Now, we’re abandoning the only planet we’ve ever known."

Lastronaut is a pixel-packed, adrenaline-fueled dash for your life as you run, jump, dodge and fire your way through the machine army, equipped with an arsenal of human and robotic weapons to cause mayhem with. At dawn, as the rest of humanity lifts off in the distance, it’s your mission to reach the last rocket ship leaving Earth. Your life depends on it.



Price: Free

Thank you so much Qwertz555! Right now, assuming everything works out, we are hoping for a March 5, 2015 release. I will update this thread when we confirm.

Maybe I will add a donate button to lastronautgame.com? I never imagined people would want to support us

 

Sweet, coolpepper43! I will have to check that game out Hope you love this one just as much when it comes out!!!

 

TheOutlander: Thank you so much! Glad to hear you like Firefox, as well. We think it's pretty great

This will work on all iPhones and iPod touches that are iOS 7+, and will run on all iPads in scaled mode.

 

\o/ Awesome! This game has nothing to do with Firefox, but that's my day job

 

Hey aconfusedkender! Glad you're excited about the price tag We're just hoping that as many people as possible will have a chance to play Lastronaut, and didn't want price to be an issue. Support us by following us on twitter and buying our future games

 

Oh man... look who is on the scene... Thanks for the endorsement Alto! If Lastronaut comes out late, it's because I'm literally obsessed with playing Alto's Adventure.

 

Wow, thank you @rezn! We're looking forward to having you play the game
