Hazardous adventures await the bold and well-equipped! Indie game developer Handyman Studios and Reverb Triple XP today launched the 2D sandbox, never-ending, sci-fi survival game Edge of Space on Steam. Deployed to the outer regions of the universe, Ark Corporation Operatives crash-land their shuttle onto a desolate planet that must be terraformed to survive. The adventure begins as players encounter a wild menagerie of creatures like Laser Space Sharks, creating bases with friends, and battling the elements to survive.
During its 27 months in Steam’s Early Access platform, the development team gathered and incorporated an enormous amount of feedback from the community that has helped shape the game and, to celebrate its their enduring support, Edge of Space is 27% off for a limited time launch price ($10.94).
“Throughout our development journey we’ve listened to all feedback good and bad, argued on different directions, made changes to changes, and done our best to push the ultimate space exploration experience,” said Jacob Crane, lead designer and co-founder of Handyman Studios. ”We utilized Steam Early Access the way it was intended and now you can expect a massive roadmap of content to continue expanding the Edge of Space universe including some pretty rad Terraria cross-content.”
