ZAKO NO AHIRU

Phoenixx and Fukuoka Fighters announced “exasperating climbing action game” ZAKO NO AHIRU launches November 21 for $6.99 on PC (Steam). A 20% launch discount will be active until December 4 at 11:59 p.m. PST. 

“ZAKO NO AHIRU recreates the feeling of playing with a sibling watching you and lovingly(?) teasing you while you struggle,” said Fukuoka Fighters. “The adorable tiny duck, soft color palette, and nonsensical low-poly environments merge coziness with fever dreams, but complex obstacles and Mary’s sharp tongue will keep players focused and entertained!”

Here’s an overview, via Phoenixx:

Sassy Mary Sugaki knocks on your door, eager to share her latest discovery with you: a platformer called “Zako no Ahiru” as challenging as it is cute. Wanna play? Great! (She wasn’t going to give you much of a choice…) Simply charge up to splash an adorable rubber ducky in all directions, and carefully scale a mountain covered in colorful obstacles. Just know that Mary WILL revel in every failure with sharp-tongued insults and banter, and she can’t wait. 

Blast water out of the ducky’s beak to propel across lovely low-poly landscapes. Bounce onto trampolines for extra height while navigating chaotic plateaus covered in palm trees, extraterrestrial comets, and enormous slices of fruit. 

One wrong jump, and Mary will never let you live it down — prepare for a verbal onslaught of Mary’s 1,000+ fully-voiced put-downs, monologues and occasional encouragement to keep going as the toy duck teeters back to the beginning of the stage. 

Yes, there’s a little tension from anticipated insults, but pressure makes diamonds, right? Don’t let Mary’s malicious words prevent you from mastering the bouncy nature of rubber ducky physics. Squeak a path towards seven distinct, dreamlike endings that feature more than 140 voiced lines, and try to ignore incoming insolent remarks along the way.

Astroneer for PS5

System Era Softworks has announced that Astroneer is coming to PlayStation 5 on November 20 as a free upgrade to the PlayStation 4 version. The PlayStation 5 version of Astroneer supports 4K at 60 FPS, and it features support for DualSense features.

Astroneer is available now for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Lastly, here’s an overview, via the game’s official Steam page:

Astroneers undergo rigorous training to explore the frontiers of outer space for the good of all humankind. Creativity and ingenuity are key to their survival!

RESHAPE THE ENVIRONMENT

Astroneers are trained to use the Terrain Tool, a powerful instrument which can dig, collect, shape, build, and color terrain in any way they wish.

Go Hands-On With Basebuilding

Build custom bases throughout the solar system to survive and thrive anywhere! Objects are snapped into place in a modular system that allows Astroneers to create unique builds. Automation systems, crafting stations, power plants, resource harvesters, and railway facilities are built from the ground up and can be customized to suit any situation.

Learn to Survive A Strange Solar System

This unrecognized system consists of seven celestial bodies. Each of them can be explored entirely, from the rounded surface all the way down into the core. Astroneers will have to grapple with their unique geography and challenging biomes if they seek to understand them.

Uncover The Mysteries of the Universe
These strange worlds are dotted with mysterious structures and artifacts, while Astroneers themselves receive confusing comms from unknown sources. Curious Astroneers may seek to understand these anomalies, and with them, the secrets of the solar system.
Alone or Together

While they’re perfectly capable on their own, Astroneers are team players who are always happy to offer a helping hand! Group up with other Astroneers and work together in 2-4 player online co-op. Playing solo online allows fellow Astroneers to drop in and out of your world at their leisure.

Where We Are

Astroneer began as an Early Access title on Steam in 2016, and reached 1.0 in 2019. We wouldn’t be here today if not for our community’s support, feedback, and ideation. As we continue on our journey, we want to reiterate our pledge to continue building on the foundation that is Astroneer with free, ongoing content updates.
