From the original Lead Developer of Fat Princess and the Creator of Escape Plan comes an epic new top-down PVP multiplayer game: Squids From Space. This weekend only, (until 10am, Oct. 16th), you can download and check out Squids From Space for FREE on Steam Early Access. Plus, during the same time period, you will have the chance to buy the game at a 20% discount from its original price and you will receive a limited-time Halloween Customization pack for your Human and Squid avatars. here.
There is no better time than now to grab your friends and battle as “Team SQUID” aliens or “Team Human” military on the way to save or capture civilians, play defense at your team’s bases, and capture the enemy’s Commander or the slimey aliens’ beloved Squid Brain. The action is fast-paced and non-stop, but the tide of battle can turn at any moment, as each team gathers materials to upgrade and unlock new weapons and vehicles for their entire team.
To celebrate the free weekend, Fun Bits is updating Squids from Space with 2 NEW levels to conquer — the Evergreen Trail and the Mars Crash Site. It has also added several new weapons, such as the Chemical Grenade Launcher, the Mini-squid Gun, and Microshard Accelerator. The Human team also has a brand new assault Mech, as well as several new 4×4 vehicles to help the Humans turn Squids into ink splats.

The game’s “Capture the Commander” gameplay pits human weapons of war against the Squids’ bizarre technology in a hectic and action-packed battle for the future of the planet!
