History
Spacejacked began as an attempt in 2013 to create a 2D metroidvania game featuring gravity manipulation as the core mechanic. As development dragged on, we realized that we were over-ambitious, and decided to build something much smaller. We created three small arenas, added the building of turrets as a mechanic, and threw in lots of enemies. We liked what we saw, and decided to expand upon it!
- March 2014 – Development on Spacejacked began.
- October 2014 – Official announcement made.
- April 2015 – Spacejacked was Greenlit by the Steam community after 47 days.
- September 2015 – Spacejacked won the Best Linux Game award in the Intel Level Up Game Demo Contest.
- 26 February 2016 – Spacejacked was released on Steam.
- August 2016 – Porting of Spacejacked to PS4 and Vita began.
