Since we already announced Starblast. The arcade space shooter, massively multiplayer online will support Linux, Mac and Windows for the November 8th, 2017 release. Since the launch is set for both Steam and Itch.io. So it seems developer Neuronality is eager to bring the shooter to as many platforms as possible.
So in case you missed the announcement post. Starblast combines fast paced multiplayer action. Hence a compelling 2.5D top-down gameplay and outstanding physics engine. Allowing players to feel the handling of their spaceship. So this MMO has a high fun factor guaranteed. Since you can fight against other players (10,40 or 60 depending on the mode; up to 300 during special events). While destroying asteroids, collect gems and use them to upgrade your ship. Buying weapons or upgrading your space station (team mode).
“Hi Todd,
A quick mail to inform you that we now have a fully working build of our game Starblast for Linux (64 bits). Thus the Linux version can be released together with the Windows and macOS versions on November 8.”
So this might be a small notice, but that day-one release for the space shooter MMO is welcoming. Seeing the games offering something different in the genre for 2017. And I’m looking forward to playing a few games. Anyone up for a match?
