Even amidst the rise of 3D graphics and a level of fidelity that lets you see every pore in a character’s face, the 2D platformer has endured as one of the most popular and accessible genres today. That’s in large part thanks to its versatility, as you can use that 2D skeleton to create anything from a horror game, to a Metroidvania, to–as the case may be–a space-based co-op crafting and exploration game.
Throw a few of your best buddies into the mix, and untold hours of adventure await. Built using a custom in-house engine, Astronimo is the charming new puzzle-crafting platformer from Coatsink (who’ve previously published dog-dog puzzler PHOGS! and worked as development partner on legendary party game Gang Beasts).
You and up to three of your friends are humble employees of Hypergiant Inc, who find themselves stranded when their vessel crash-lands on a planet. It’s not the end of the world though, because it’s during the times of hardest tribulation that the greatest bonding experiences are forged!

With your fellow castaways, you must work together and merge your creative and logical minds if you’re to find your way back to your home vessel.
