Press release:
Leicester, UK – 18th August 2023.
The Leicester-based (England) indie games publisher Kasedo Games and Greensboro-based (North Carolina, the US) indie games developer Beard Envy, are today very proud and pleased to announce that their roguelite spaceship repair sim “Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch) next year (2024).

Originally revealed for PC last year during the IGN Awesome Indies Showcase, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop is a hilarious repair sim with ultra-tactile mechanics and a roguelite format that challenges you to fix spaceships on an asteroid-bound service station.

Compared to TV shows such as Rick & Morty and Adventure Time for its quirky and colourful art style, a new trailer has been released for Uncle Chops’ Rocket Shop showing off its unique aesthetic, dark humour and tactile gameplay via a selection of various in-game repairable modules.

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop will cast you as Wilbur, a vest wearing Fox, who carves out a paltry living as a mechanic, repairing as many ships as he can to afford the ever-rising rent payments to his tyrannical boss, Uncle Chop.

With a range of tools, diagnostic devices, parts and workshop appliances, Wilbur will need to correct faults in the modules of procedurally generated spaceships, based on brand specific manuals which will be acquired along the way. From simple refuel jobs to total mechanical overhauls, you will need to frantically fumble, slice, loosen, tighten, grab and drop and try to complete as many jobs as possible within each daily time limit.

Clock in, think fast, work faster and pay the ever escalating bills forcing you to take on more audacious and risky jobs from a diverse range of oddballs.

Speaking of a diverse range of oddballs, join our Discord & Twitter community to keep up with all things Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop related.

Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop, will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC in 2024.

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.
