Independent UK game developer, Positech, is showing off its sense of humour as well as its latest space game: Gratuitous Space Battles.
According to the blurb, "Gratuitous Space Battles aims to bring the over-the-top explodiness back into space games." Result.
"GSB is about what ships you design, and what you tell them to do. Your individual ship commanders have total autonomy during the chaotic battle that unfolds. This is not a tactical game, it is a strategic one. These gratuitous space battles are not won by plucky heroes with perfect teeth, but by the geeky starship builders who know exactly what ratio of plasma-cannons to engines each ship in the fleet will need." Double result.
Go here to support indie games development - and explodiness, and join the fight against "plucky heroes with perfect teeth"!
