Press release:
🗓️London, UK. December 14th, 2023.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Super Rare Originals and Alingsås-based (Sweden) indie games developer Whale Peak Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their arcade-style twin-stick shooter “Go Mecha Ball“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and Xbox (Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One) On January 25th, 2024.

💥Embark on an immersive journey through the neon-lit realms of Go Mecha Ball, where players engage in dynamic twin-stick shooter combat, executing acrobatic maneuvers across vibrant 3D platforms with pinball-style physics. Soaring above the chaos, players can boost up ramps, bounce off lively bumpers, or ride the updraft from giant fans, incorporating a layer of dynamic movement into their chosen strategy as they face waves of destructive robot enemies, colossal bosses and arcade-like obstacles.

💥Players can unleash the power of four distinct gun-wielding mechs, each with its own unique arsenal of weapons, abilities, and upgrades that can be added between runs for roguelike progression through vivid and exciting levels. Utilise over 25 tools for mass destruction, and explore the ways that more than 20 quirky abilities customise the experience of each gun-toting run across four visually stunning worlds full of enemies and challenges.

💥The game’s dynamically generated and interactive soundtrack adds another layer to the chaos, where each gunshot, impact and interaction is reflected in an immersive soundscape creating a symphony of uniqueness for each player’s journey.

About Whale Peak Games
No one really knows who Whale Peak Games are, the shadowy business entity owned and operated by international man of mystery Jakob Wahlberg. Reports suggest it’s composed of a crack team of veteran game developers with previous affiliations to companies like Moon Studios, Vlambeer, Riot Games and Spicy Horse. Their work can be found in games like Cult of the Lamb, Death’s Door, Noita, Downwell, Nuclear Throne, Alice: Madness Returns, League of Legends and the Steamworld series. No-one knows what they might do next: They might disband back to their respective dark corners of the internet, or they might very well usher in a new era of indie game development. Only time will tell.
