Press release:
Leicester, UK – 29th April 2024.
The Leicester-based (the UK) indie games publisher Kasedo Games and London-based (the UK) indie games developer Beard Envy, are today super happy and excited to announce that their sci-fi roguelite spaceship repair sim “Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop” is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) this November.
The frantic ‘fix’em’up’ challenges players to take the helm at a franchise of the eponymous owner, Uncle Chop. The ultra-tactile mechanics twinned with a roguelite format create a unique and outlandish gameplay experience with an aesthetic and dark humour inspired by TV shows such as Adventure Time and Rick & Morty.
New gameplay, spaceships, repair modules and miscreants are revealed in the latest trailer which also features a sneak peak at boss ships, factions, and the…occult ‘activities’ that go alongside them…oh and donuts.
There’s more good news though, as players won’t have to wait too much longer to get a taste of the gameplay with a PC demo being released on Steam in early June. Follow Uncle Chops Rocket Shop on Steam to be kept up-to-date when the demo goes live.

About Beard Envy:
A three-man team whose sole focus, despite a very vocal enthusiasm for beards, is to make quirky and compelling games. Two games artists and a visual effects artist, we began making games together when we took part in a game jam on a whim. Since then, and after a number of other game jams, we decided to pursue our passion and make games independently. Currently working full time on our puzzle game Filament, we think you’ll love it, check out the trailer above!
And for now, we walk this world guided by The Great Emanating Beard, submitting to its every will.
