Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home.

A beautiful story about the space and self-discovery launches in fall 2022

Warsaw, May 11th, 2022 – Longterm Games announces their first title – a space story about self-discovery and the understanding of the world around, Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home. The game will be released on Nintendo Switch this fall thanks to RedDeer.Games.

In this 2,5D platformer we are going through a story of the dog named Bea, send into space, who along with the players is having epic adventures and meeting a lot of less and more friendly creatures from outer space.  


This action platformer will be available on Steam and Nintendo Switch, with current and previous-gen consoles in the near future.

TRAILER

Story for the fans of such titles as Ori and the Blind Forest, Inside, Limbo and Journey is inspired by real events, when people tried their conquest of the space and were just starting it, to be clear.

Before humans explored space by themselves, a lot of animals were paving the way to the stars – they were those, who saw up close what a lot of people encountered years after.

Unfortunately, a lot of them did not survive this journey… except for Bea.

SCREENSHOTS

Gameplay in Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is based on three mechanics: sensesrelations, and companions.

  • Senses – Bea is not a superdog. She doesn’t have any superhuman – or to be precise: superdog – powers. Just as any other dog she can rely only on her senses: smell, sight, and hearing. These are the main basics of mechanic called “detective mode”, which will help her reach destinations and protect her from danger. In the unknown environment, she can only rely on her own senses and instinct.
  • Relations – During her journey, Bea will meet many extraterrestrials. Some of them will be friendly, others will treat Bea as a danger. Players can interact with the creatures and communicate through a dialog system – based on the dog’s behavior – to create a bond, find some common language and help each other. However, you need to be very careful, because each action will have its consequences.
  • Companions – Traveling across different worlds Bea will befriend two entities: Comet Rose and the robot 8088Y. They will accompany her through the almost entire game, helping her solve puzzles and rescue her from troubles, and in the end, influence the game ending.

 Each companion has unique abilities, which the player will have to use at the tight moment in game.

Space Tail should give fun, in the first place, but also makes players think, because it’s not a simple story about a dog in the space. It’s our homage to every animal who leads humans way to the stars and our journey to times, where every one of us played retro platformers – said Robert Ogłodziński, Executive Producer in Longterm Games.

Space Tail: Every Journey Leads Home is going to be a great game for everyone – young or old. It will test your skills in logical thinking and creativity, however, puzzles won’t distract from the story behind it.

This part of the game is going to be important – it was created in cooperation with Łukasz Palkowski, award-winning polish director and screenwriter.

Bea’s adventures will be experienced with soundtrack from two, critically acclaimed polish composers, Jan Sanejko and Bartosz Chajdecki and the game itself was created in cooperation with Enjoy Studio S.A.

The game will launch this autumn on Steam and Nintendo Switch, with current and last-gen consoles later on.
More information about the game can be found here, and any additional assets can be found here. Check and follow information and news about the game on official social media – FacebookInstagram, Twitter, and TikTok.

AMAZING STORY OF ALOOF
The story of Aloof begins in… a closed psychiatric ward for schizophrenia. There is a nurse, Joram Van Schaik, working on it who helps in taking care of sick patients. But it was the field of IT that really interested him.
 
No, this is not the moment when our hero started making games. Although this thought had been with him for a long time. Later he worked as a cybercrime investigator, where he was mainly involved in hacking cases and encrypted communication.
 
In the meantime, he started making video games himself. He did not have any diplomas or specializations for it, because the only profession he had learned was nursing. But self-denial and undoubted talent have brought him where he is today. 

Joram has teamed up with RedDeer.games, the people behind Cyber Protocol, Art Sqool, Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia, and that AAA Clock everyone’s talking about right now. Together they bring Aloof to Nintendo Switch.

ATTENTION! CYBER BANK HAS JUST BEEN HACKED! We know the winners of two Cyber Protocol contests

The old-school arcade game Cyber Protocol has never been so intense. In December, the best of the best compete with each other, battling through deadly levels and trying to get the highest high score—and $1000! Meanwhile, those who wanted to share their impressions could win a PlayStation 5.

We thank all participants for their engagement! Below is the list of winners and a little surprise.

#CyberProtocolWOW

Wondering what the first impression of Cyber Protocol players was? Now you can find them on Twitter under the hashtag #CyberProtocolWOW.

In this contest we asked players to complete the first level of Cyber Protocol and tweet the first words that came to mind after finishing it. The prize was a PlayStation 5.

And the winner is… @gsimo625.

Thank you for your comment about the game:

#HighScore in Cyber Protocol

The second contest was inspired by the old days—like the whole game—where high scores actually mattered. We decided to bring back the tradition and reward the best players in the world with cash prizes.

To take part in the contest, you had to write on Twitter or Facebook a post „I’m competing for the #highScore in Cyber Protocol game” and play in the „TOP 20 Global Ranking” mode.

The competition ended on December 31, 2020 at 23:59 GMT.

Here is the list of winners:

1st place: VSIMCO ($1000)

2nd place: JENERGY ($200)

3rd place: HEIKAI ($100)

#unexpectedMessage

Although sinister corporations are relentless in their attempt to take total control of communications, we managed to contact the best player in the world!

We bring you the transcript of an interview with the winner of the #HighScore in Cyber Protocol contest.

BARTEK, REDDEERGAMES: How many hours have you played Cyber Protocol in total?

VSIMCO: This is actually a tough question to answer since I played the game on all the platforms it has released on (Xbox One, Switch, Steam). Xbox One ~ 50 hours (first version I played), Switch ~ 4 hours (have not beaten it yet), Steam ~ 460 hours (though I guess leaving arcade mode paused overnight would have that effect).

After such time you can probably judge it fairly. What do you think is the best thing about Cyber Protocol?

My favorite part of Cyber Protocol is definitely the interesting mazes – and finding the optimal path through those mazes. 

A lot of logical puzzles require mostly just a lot of thinking. Cyber Protocol adds the challenge of timing in combination with the logical deduction needed to solve the mazes which gives it a unique flare. 

There are similar games to Cyber Protocol out there – Cyber Protocol keeps things relatively simple for the player (you go up, down, right, left), the complexity and variation is all external  to the player and shows up in the puzzle itself – I liked that simplicity – you do not need anything external to the game itself to solve a puzzle. 

The combination of logical thinking, arcade timing, and no external knowledge needed are the best things about Cyber Protocol.  

Did you plan to win 1000$?

No. My goal for the Steam version was to be able to beat the game in less than <10 lives (23 lives for the winning run) – I did not achieve that goal – but will probably come back to the game. The longest I went without dying was actually around 50 stages.

Around December I thought I had a good chance of winning the competition so my focus went from not dying to finding consistent speed run paths through the game. Consistency is important in a run which is going to last 2-3 hours going through 100 levels where one small mistake could kill you – and using checkpoints takes up time which eats up your score. 

How will you spend 1000 dollars?

Upgrading my gaming setup.

Thanks again to all the participants. Follow our Twitter account @gamesreddeer to stay up to date with all the competitions!
