Press release:
16 JUNE 2021.
The indie games publisher Theory Studios and Canada-based indie games developer Brave Lunch today announced with great joy and excitement that their underwater endless-wave VR shooter “Blobkin Blaster” is coming to Steam for all PC VR-headsets on August 11th, 2021.

The developer’s previous credits include work for Sesame Street, Amazon Studios, Walt Disney Imagineering and Chuck-E-Cheese (Yes, they’ve worked with two famous mice).

Today though, Brave Lunch are pleased to announce that their first original game Blobkin Blaster will be releasing for nearly all headsets on August 11th 2021 via SteamVR. A demo is available now for Steam’s Next Fest celebration.

Made with love for the young and young-at-heart, Blobkin Blaster is an underwater VR endless-wave shooter with a sprinkling of real time strategy. The game puts players into a scuba suit and flippers, and sends them below the waves to help clean up the oceans and provide a habitable environment for the cute critters known as Blobkins.

Players will place traps, build cannons, and fire Blobkins out of a Blaster (don’t worry, they don’t mind) to put a stop to trash, dangerous foes, and invasive species who are threatening the safety of their reef.

Reminiscent of settings and characters from studios such as Pixar and Dreamworks, the world of Blobkin Blaster is a bright, bold and awe-inspiring setting for children and adults alike to explore and learn about ocean conservation.

Interested players will be able to try out Blobkin Blaster in the Steam Next Fest from today, as well as tune in to watch Brave Lunch show off the game in a Next Fest livestream on Saturday June 19 at 2pm Eastern (GMT-4).

David Andrade of Brave Lunch said “Save the reef, blast the fish! Mixing our love of VR, wave shooters, and real time strategy, Blobkin Blaster is a wild cartoony take on the world beneath the waves. Inspired by our own backyard of the Florida keys, we brought in creatures warped by pollution, invasive species, and other monstrous delights for you to blast in VR!”

Blobkin Blaster will launch on SteamVR for most VR headsets on August 11th 2021, priced $14.99/ £10.99/ €11.99.
