Terraforming Earth coming to Steam on Jan 30
Terraforming Earth lets you control three separate robots with different abilities who must work together to solve each procedurally generated level, focusing on problem-solving and planning instead of rote memorization.
Terraforming Earth creates unique situations every time you play with an obstacle-based level generator (no predefined rooms!). Even the boss fights and the music is procedurally generated. The game contains solo and local co-op modes.
Even though Terraforming Earth will be launched in Early Access, it should be treated as a full release in terms of polish and functionality. The full version will expand the experience with more obstacles and enemy types.
ABOUT THIS GAME
Unique Situations Every Time You Play
Terraforming Earth is the first game ever to apply procedural generation in platform puzzle level design. It is infinitely replayable as it puts you in new situations every time you play. The focus is on creative problem-solving and planning instead of rote memorization.
Use Different Skills Together
Play alone by switching between three quirky robots. Using their different skills together, you must guide them through infinite obstacles as you restore life on Earth. You can also play with your friends in local multiplayer co-op mode or over the Internet using Steam Remote Play.
Curated Levels
Terraforming Earth has a curation system similar to Mario Maker’s. On the world map, you can choose between missions that are freshly generated for you or missions starred by other players in the community. Your starred levels also appear on other players’ maps.
Our Heroes
Training for a secret mission to terraform Proxima Centauri, our capable utility bots freak out as signals from bio-scanners start to dwindle and fade out. Humans, plants and all life has mysteriously disappeared from Earth, and they alone hold the technology to bring everything back.
Opi
Built for getting stuff done. He might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this doesn’t seem to bother him on his rocket-powered caterpillar tracks.
Curi
Environment research unit. Retrofitted with anti-grav drive to protect it from itself.
Spiri
A walking terrarium. While playing around with plant ribosomes, she accidentally turned herself into a swarm of nano-bots. Hide-and-seek champ for life.
