Press release:
London, UK – January 25, 2024.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher Super Rare Originals and Alingsås-based (Sweden) indie games developer Whale Peak Games, are today very proud and glad to announce that their arcade-style twin-stick shooter “Go Mecha Ball“, is now available for PC (via Steam) and Xbox (Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One) via digital stores.

With roguelite elements and bouncy pinball-esque physics, Go Mecha Ball offers an adrenaline-fueled journey through dynamic and varied playgrounds, engaging players in a futuristic, bouncy showdown against rogue AI. Neon-lit backdrops and colourful 3D platforms set the stage for energetic twin-stick shooter combat, with pinball-style physics that encourage acrobatic maneuvers and wacky strategies. Players can ricochet off lively bumpers, soar into the sky above giant fans, or boost their way up ramps, creating unique and kinetic movement.

Players will deploy the might of four individual gun-toting mechs, each boasting a distinct arsenal of weapons, abilities, and upgrades that can be incorporated between runs, fostering roguelike progression through vibrant and exhilarating levels. Employ a variety of over 25 tools designed for mass destruction, and discover how more than 20 quirky abilities personalize the experience of each fun and frenzied robot shooting escapade. Backed by a unique and interactive soundtrack, the chaos is heightened with each gunshot, impact and interaction reflected in an immersive and exciting symphony for each player.

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.
