The GamePad user had to shut off the thrusters and boost at just the right time, in order to avoid detection. The pilot had to take a position at the top of the slope and gather enough speed for the jump. With that set up, it was time for the team to huddle up. Above the jump was a heat-seeking turret, with the switch just above it. One of the switches was located along the bottom-right corner, with a rail sloping into a ski-like jump over a monster pit onto another rail. To give an example of how the action can quickly devolve into too many cooks, the demo placed us in a closed-off area that required four switches to be activated before moving forward.

A third player can make the proceedings even hairier by picking up a Pro Controller or Wii Remote and taking control of the ship's scanners and flares. Pilots must indicate when certain controls needs to be tuned up or down and given that timing is an important part of making it out alive, it's a much taller task than expected. This adds a completely new dimension to the game, because communication becomes essential. In a two-player game, a friend will pilot the ship with a Wii U Pro Controller, while the GamePad user continues to control the ship's functions. A second or third player can drop in or out at any time, essentially giving the ship a second crew member. The idea remains exactly the same in co-op. Getting past hostile heat-seeking turrets requires turning down thrusters, boost, and basically anything that generates heat, but many instances have players creatively balancing the ship's abilities to pull off daring jumps or to get across hazardous areas unharmed. The premise remains as challenging as before. The idea is to gradually recover all of the parts and become a mighty space vessel, once more, but players must manually navigate the ship's many components using the Wii U GamePad. Not only did it blast off with a new release date in tow, but it also received a major addition: three-player local co-op.įor those unfamiliar with Affordable Space Adventures, players take control of a ship that has been completely stripped down after a rough crash onto an unfamiliar and hostile planet. This week, the collaboration between KnapNok Games and Nifflas returned to GDC. It was first seen at last year's Game Developers Conference before making appearances at several events, including last year's IndieCade. Affordable Space Adventures has been revving its engines for a good while.
