Press release:
Gateshead, United Kingdom – September 27th, 2023.
The Gothenburg-based (Sweden) indie games publisher/developer Thunderful and Sunderland-based (the UK) indie games developer Coatsink, are today very proud and thrilled to announce that their cooperative platforming adventure/puzzler “Astronimo“, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

Untether your creative mind and puzzle through this colourful platforming adventure alongside friends.

Astronimo at its core is a cooperative construction platform puzzler that challenges the creativity of you, and up to three others via local or online multiplayer through dynamic puzzles requiring solutions. Create worlds with our world editor which provides players with the tools to create new challenges, epic builds, or wacky contraptions.

The team at Coatsink are extremely excited and can’t wait to see what players come up with.

While exploring 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 use their imagination to solve puzzles in creative and unique ways, build rockets to visit other planets and work towards the ultimate goal of collecting enough antimatter to power a portal that will get them back home.

Astronimo brings 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 begins with one planet and three mini-moons to discover and explore and our very own World Editor.

The World Editor gives players tools to do everything from building new challenges or creating a jungle gym to play in, up to crafting cutscenes, or even building and decorating whole planets to fill up a solar system that other players can explore. Once you’re done, share your unique creations on Steam Workshop for the Astronimo community to see.

“We’re so excited to launch Astronimo for Early Access today,” said Isaac Page, Producer at Coatsink.

“Astronimo is a game that we want the community to help shape for the future. We can’t wait to see what crazy contraptions and marvellous worlds you can build and hope that you stick with us on our Astronimo journey to full release!”
