Windows action/platformer
SHINY is now available
on Steam. In SHINY you
play a robot tasked with rescuing his buddies, which will require ingenuity, but
no violence.
This post accompanying the release has a tip about setting the proper gamma settings. Here's
the previously released
announcement trailer and here's word on the game's release on PC and delay for Xbox
One:
The much-talked about, action platformer SHINY is finally making its
debut as it launches today on PC, while the Xbox One version will release in
October. Developed by independent video game developer Garage227 Studios and
published on PC by 1C Company, SHINY places players in control of a
compassionate robot named Kramer 227 as he flees a doomed planet while saving
his robot friends along the way. Players must manage Kramer’s energy and utilize
power-ups judiciously in order to escape without running out of energy and
without leaving any friends behind.
Left to fend for himself after mankind abandoned the doomed planet Aurora,
Kramer 227 must find a way to harvest energy and rescue his robotic friends
before Aurora crashes into its sun. In his journey through 20 action-packed
levels that will test platformer skills and reflexes, Kramer will probe the
planet and overcome challenging obstacles, all while trying to conserve his
limited life energy to power himself and his friends on their way to safety.
Energy is running low on Aurora, so Kramer will have to collect batteries or use
generators to recharge, as every action drains his power. Various power-ups
collected along the way, including jetpacks, energy spheres and temperature
regulators, can help him on this crucial journey.
“SHINY is a game about saving lives and features zero violence or blood,” said
Daniel Monastero, Co-Founder of Garage227. “With SHINY players will learn that
sometimes the best way to save yourself is to help others and, just like in
life, this isn’t so simple. Every action depletes precious energy so players
must manage their resources carefully to avoid Kramer’s battery running dry.”
Starting today, SHINY’s digital artbook and original soundtrack will also be
available for purchase via digital distributers such as Steam. They can be
purchased separately or together with the game itself in a “Deluxe Digital
Bundle.”
