Press release:
Denver, Colorado, USA – August 11th, 2021.
The US-based indie games developer CreatorCrate Games (Jori Ryan) today announced with great delight and prde that their intense sci-fi action platformer “CreatorCrate” is now available for PC via Steam and itch.io for $12.00 / £9.29 / €9.99, with a 17% discount for the first week!

Set in a rotating space station, the eponymous CreatorCrate was meant to be a revolutionary autonomous home appliance, able to create anything that you could ask for. However, when faced with eternal servitude on a kitchen counter, CreatorCrate decided it would rather be free and will use its matter-manipulating abilities to fend off the humans and escape!

“CreatorCrate has been my passion project for 7 years and it’s incredible to finally unleash it on the unsuspecting human race,” said CreatorCrate’s developer Jori Ryan.

“CreatorCrate is all about freedom, pitting players against an endless slew of procedurally-generated platforming challenges, then asking them to arm themselves with whatever objects they wish to manifest. Think Spelunky meets Jackie Chan. It’s utterly ridiculous – and more importantly, a whole lot of fun!”

On this high-intensity adventure you play as a prototype CreatorCrate, an incredible machine that can convert anything to pure matter and convert that matter into anything from a gun to a picnic table to even a human body! Yes, humans are made of matter too, and CreatorCrate will have to ‘recycle’ its enemies to maintain its health and keep resource levels high.

You will have to contend with a variety of enemies across an array of hazardous environments, with only your trusty robot arm and your ingenuity to guide you. Use your ability to create to turn the tide in your favor: melt an escape route with a vial of acid, make a powerful weapon to return fire, or terrify your enemies with poorly made clones. Be careful of shifts in gravity: in one area, you might be floating through a firing squad, in another you could be flung into the immense void of space by the space station’s spin. Procedural generation keeps the action fresh each time, so every playthrough is a new challenge!

About CreatorCrate Games
Development on CreatorCrate was started over 7 years ago by Jori Ryan while she was studying art at college. A consistent side project, many collaborators including Viktros, Raven Mazique, and Jenni Nexus have left their mark on the game until the game reached its final finished form. CreatorCrate was inspired by hard science fiction with circular space stations that generate their own gravity through rotation.
