The explosion rocked the ship, and then she was no more, the hull being utterly ripped apart. They teleported out and then sent in a mine, my worst nightmare. He stood down and waited to face death from the hands of the boarding party, but the cowards would not comply. He had actually managed to put out the fire in helm control, but he could do no more. Blasters fired, and I was down two more crewmen. They ran straight for the weapon control room, where Officers Buttons and Trifle were already close to death. An insane move from my foe, the invaders would die with my crew when the ship inevitably explodes, I thought. The sound of a teleporter rang through the corridors of the Tribble - boarders had arrived. The enemy ship, a Rebel fighter, was almost forgotten, but not for long. Red was flashing everywhere, and now the oxygen was running out. A hull breach appeared, then another, then another. The valiant Captain Jack Jack was frantically attempting to regain control of the helm, while the other two surviving crew members - the brave Weapons Officer Beth Buttons and the ingenious Engineering Officer Jerry Trifle - were working together to get weapons back online. Every single room from the engine room to my recently purchased drone control room was being consumed one tiny square at a time. Super Meat Boy (Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux, PS 4, PS Vita, Wii U, Android, and there’s probably some sort of conversion for the Gameboy Advance or some shit, seriously, this game is everywhere.The HMS Tribble was on fire.I pause again, shout, and wonder how I’ll manage without him. The explosion turns him into nano-particle paste and my chief engineer is dead. He dashes for the door to avoid the blast but it’s too late. I pause and order him to the medical bay. I can see the missile pass through the shields, it’s heading for him. He’s been hit a few times by laser fire but he was able to get the shields up and running. I usually don’t remember their names but I do remember That Mantis who killed three intruders or That Engi who’s kept my ship together through the worst that space can subject to it. I panic and pause when someone is near death, trying to figure out how to save them in time. That Engi is manning the shields and trying to keep them up while we’re under heavy fire.

Years later Subset released a free, toggle-able, expansion pack called the Advance Edition. It was one of the first Kickstarter funded games and helped start the trend that videogames could be crowdfunded and succeed. This Kickstarter money ensured that it would have all of those things. By that point Subset had created the bones of the game but it didn’t have music, the best writing, or run very well. The game was primarily funded by a 200,000$ Kickstarter campaign. They wanted to create an experience where, “the player feel like they were Captain Picard yelling at engineers to get the shields back online.” Inspired by board games like the Battlestar Galactica board game and others where the players have to tactically manage power. Well, it’s actually a strategy game but it’s the most sweat inducing strategy rogue-like that I’ve ever played.įTL was developed by Subset games with Justin Ma and Mathew Davis leading design - and when I say leading I think I mean that they are Subset games.
