Press release:
Gateshead, United Kingdom – February 7th, 2023.
The Gothenburg-based (Sweden) indie games publisher/developer Thunderful and Sunderland-based (the UK) indie games developer Coatsink, are today very excited and glad to announce that their cooperative platforming adventure/puzzler “Astronimo“, is coming to PC via Steam in 2023.

Furthermore! Coatsink and Thunderful has also just announced that gamers can now sign-up Astronimo’s technical beta (the sign-ups end on February 27th!). So be sure to check that one out via Steam!

“Astronimo” is a cooperative construction platform puzzler that takes you, and up to three others, out of this world and into a vast solar system, providing expansive creation tools to stretch the bounds of your imagination as you work out how to get back home together.

Wave. Play Music. Be a dog in space. Astronimo is all about having fun and sharing memories with friends, old and new. Sign up to the technical beta with your friends to begin your space adventure today.

While mining for minerals in the vast reaches of the galaxy, four Hypergiant Inc employees crash-land on a small uncharted planet and become hopelessly stranded there. In the hopes of reuniting with their fleet, players must help them to scour every inch of the planetary surface in search of valuable resources to solve puzzles in creative and unique ways, then build a shuttle and fuel it to launch back into space.

Astronimo takes platforming and customisation to the interstellar medium and beyond with its quirky, fun-filled campaign. Chart an entire galaxy that features three full planets with 20+ hours of content and discoveries aplenty. Early Access will begin with one planet with an additional two planets being rolled out on the road to full release.

You can even take things a step further with customisation that stretches the bounds of your imagination on the Community Moon from day one. The Community Moon gives players tools to populate a planet and Garage Mode makes crafting the unimaginable easy with the use of drag, drop and distribute tools. Share your unique creations on Steam Workshop for the Astronimo community to see.

“We hope you have as much fun playing Astronimo as we’ve had building it. We are bursting to see what crazy contraptions and marvellous worlds you can build!” said Jimmy Whitemore, Lead Programmer at Coatsink.

If you’re already itching to jump into your space suit, you can also apply for the technical beta, which is live right now and runs until February 27. Prospective players are already heading into the game’s communities on Discord and Twitter, so why not join them, and count yourself among the early pioneers on this vibrant new space venture.
