Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet Descends Upon Mac and Linux
Shadow Planet Productions is delighted to announce the release
of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet for
Mac and Linux.
The brainchild of multi-media artist, Michel Gagné, and game
veteran, Joe Olson, ITSP is a 2D
exploration/shooter/puzzle-solving downloadable game where you control your
multi-tooled flying saucer inside an alien world full of mystery, threats and
wonder. ITSP was initially published
on Xbox Live Arcade in summer 2010. The game enjoyed great reviews, good sales,
and even took home a BAFTA and an Annie Award.
Michel Gagné explains how the ports became possible, "In
late 2013, when we were told that Games for Windows Live would be retired thus
rendering Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
obsolete for the PC, Joe and I saw an opportunity to amend our contract with
Microsoft and expand the reach of our
game by being allowed to self-publish. We were able to handle the GFWL removal
and replace it with Steamworks for the PC. Next, we ported the game for both,
Mac and Linux. We've gotten many requests for a Mac version and today, we're happy
to finally deliver."
ITSP is now
available for Mac and Linux on Steam, and the Humble Bundle Store.
