JOHN GLEEP ist ab sofort für Linux auf Steam veröffentlicht.

Das Spiel von monthbug ist ein Action-Roguelike, in dem du als kleiner Alien mit einem UFO Gambler von Planeten entführst und sie in dein flippernd-pachinkoartiges Casino steckst, um Schulden bei der Mafia abzuzahlen. Der Preis liegt bei 11,99 €, zum Start gibt es 20 % Rabatt (9,59 €) bis zum 25. November. Eine Demo steht ebenfalls auf Steam bereit.

JOHN GLEEP is a tiny alien with a big problem. His casino is a failure and he owes the mob a galaxy. Solution? Fly from planet to planet and forcibly abduct gamblers to boost business, pay off your debt, and fix your failed marriage in this unexplainable intergalactic action-roguelike mashup.

How’s one alien supposed to steal resources and citizens from unsuspecting planets while managing a failing casino full of involuntary gamblers? At the same time, obviously. Zip across the planet to abduct everyone while avoiding high-alert attacks from Captain Missile. Fill your bouncy gambling empire with every abductee and watch them tumble around while you deal with distractions. Also you’re gonna be defusing bombs. And squashing bugs. And ignoring virtual meetings. And probably a bunch of other stuff at the same time.

Every planet ransacked is another day closer to your debt being collected on by the nefarious dentist/mob boss Joey Norp. Maximize profits by upgrading and customizing your casino with pegs from the gacha machine. Use the Junk and Gadgets you find on each planet to bolster your ship or activate distracting new abilities. Don’t forget to fuel up that Hyperdrive, though - escaping to a new star system means more planets to raid, and more time to pay off the mob.

Failure to pay means game over for John Gleep. Or does it? A new run means new casino combos, new planets to discover, and another chance at clearing your debt. If you work hard enough, you might even encounter helpful companions you can earn a variety of permanent upgrades from.
