Backflip Studios today announced that PlunderNauts has landed in the iOS App Store as a free download. With an unprecedented rate of explosions-per-second, PlunderNauts combines skill-based gameplay and intuitive controls with a deep loot-system and customizable starships.
PlunderNauts is the first title published by Backflip under its new publishing arm. The game was developed by LightBox Interactive. Founded by 15-year veterans of the console industry, LightBox was established in 2009 in Austin, Texas to develop explosive, fast-paced, and innovative games for players who love the action genre. PlunderNauts is free to play with optional in-app purchases, available today exclusively on the iTunes App Store.
“The team and I wanted to develop a mobile game for quite some time, but it was crucial that we deliver that same energy and excitement we loved from our past console action games,” said Dylan Jobe, President of LightBox Interactive. “PlunderNauts is that game and we’re stoked to finally release it globally. It’s fast and fun, and the game design allows players to get a quick-fix of epic-space-battle-action or deep-dive into strategy, upgrades, collecting and crafting.”
“We are thrilled to be publishing Lightbox’s first mobile game and working with a talented studio of this caliber to bring an immersive, console quality space-battling experience to iOS,” said Julian Farrior, founder and CEO of Backflip Studios. “There is nothing else like it in the mobile market.”
As captain of your newly acquired starship, you set sail across a universe filled with alien pirates, epic battles, endless upgrades and treasures untold. The combat in PlunderNauts is fast-paced, perfectly suited for mobile devices, and explosively fun.
Pulverizing space pirates never felt so good! Polly, a robotic bird programmed with the trade routes of every galaxy, guides you along your journey. She fills your head with tales of the legendary robo-pirate IronBeard and his unimaginable wealth just waiting to be plundered. Prepare for battle, Captain!
