Award-Winning Puzzle Game Molecats Now Available on Steam as a Full Release
LVIV, Ukraine – Aug. 28, 2018 – Molecats is arriving today on Steam after a productive season on Early Access. The funky puzzle game from indie developer Vidroid has won several awards – thanks its intricate visual design, innovative gameplay, and lovable characters.
In the game, your job is to help the aforementioned Molecats secure ever-important foodstuffs (‘shrooms) and loot (relics). Guide them through dangerous underground tunnels by twisting and turning tiles – indirectly controlling where and how your crew tackles each challenge. Ruthless monsters and traps are lurking around every corner: Take your time and plan each move carefully to keep those Molecats smiling. Of course, finding the exit with both goodies and limbs intact is great – but stay on the lookout for achievements, secondary goals, unlockables, secret levels, and more. You never know what you’ll dig up …
“During Vidroid’s early years, we used to play a small Flash game called Continuity. This tile placement puzzle game reminded us of the types of board games we enjoyed as kids,” says Stanislav Gailunas, art director and gameplay designer at Vidroid.
“We decided to have a friendly competition to come up with games based on tile mechanics,” adds Yaroslav Rybak, lead programmer and producer at Vidroid. “After some healthy experimentation, the result was Molecats – a game that encourages players to take their time with each puzzle.”
