Trailer



Cashtronauts is a fast-paced, retro arcade-style game for 1 to 4 players created by Pixels & Poutine, a collection of veteran devs from Montréal. Each player can choose their own play style; will you focus on mining, pirate hunting or just pillaging and looting your fellow players?

We've just launched our Kickstarter and within 24 hours we are already 11% of the way to our goal! We've got some fun and unique rewards, so take a look and share!

I liked trying this game out.

Here are some of my thoughts:
Absolute projectile velocities are easier to aim. The game applies your ship's velocity to your shots now and it's tough to get them to go where you want while you're moving at all.
Capsules get in the way. It'd be less frustrating to pass through mineral capsules when you're full instead of them becoming walls.
Is there any reason to hold on to your minerals? If not, then it would make sense to automatically cash them in when you touch a base.

Following you guys on Twitter, seems like you're everywhere.

Montrealers! Come play the game at tonight's MRGS meetup! (And to see all the other amazing stuff, obviously!)
Our game will have no DRM, day 1 DLC, retailer-exclusive content or in-app purchases because that sounds like a lot of work.

I'm really liking this game...
...in the beta I can't wait so spend all the money I make...
The suggestion to automatically sell the capsules when passing over the correct station is a good one.
