We're so excited to finally share what we've been working on! Meet Ranchonauts, our new slapstick space western co-op game about herding alien sheep across a dangerous frontier. It's kind of ridiculous, and we've been having a blast making it.
First things first, check out our announcement trailer!
So, what's Ranchonauts?
You're a space explorer stranded on an alien planet with a busted spaceship and a repair debt you definitely can't afford. Luckily, there's money to be made herding alien sheep across the frontier. Unluckily, pretty much everything out on the range seems determined to make your job as difficult as possible.
Saddle up and head out solo or with up to five friends, wrangling your flock from town to town while trying to keep your sheep, your horse, and yourself in one piece. The more sheep you deliver, the bigger your payday, and the closer you get to fixing your ship and heading home!
What could possibly go wrong?
More than you can imagine! Here's a taste of what to expect:
- 🐑 Herd sheep with your friends: Play with up to five friends, ride alien horses, and use proximity voice chat to coordinate your increasingly questionable herding duties.
- 🤡 Physics-fueled chaos: Expect ragdoll wipeouts, exploding bushes, lightning storms, gravity anomalies, and plenty of sheep flying off bridges and down canyon walls.
- 🔫 Tools of the trade: Shrink things down, launch them with a gravity cannon, and find creative ways to get your flock out of trouble (or into even more of it).
- 💸 Time is money: Pay off your ship-repair debt before the local barons come collecting, and make sure you're back before sundown. Seriously... you don't want to be caught outside the town walls after dark.
Wishlist Ranchonauts on Steam! ❤️
If Ranchonauts looks like your kind of fun, we'd really appreciate a wishlist on Steam! Every wishlist makes a huge difference for a small indie team like ours to get the word out about the game.
