Hello everyone!We are excited to officially announce our upcoming title, Outpost Ginga.While CounterAttack: Uprising put you in the cockpit, Outpost Ginga moves you to the command center. This is a single-player, tactical Spiral Tower Defense game set in the same universe, focused on deep weapon customization and resource management.During the Automaton War, when Outpost Ginga was attacked, the command and control room was never recovered. Long assumed destroyed by the Automatons, it actually escaped into the depths of space by initiating an uncalculated FTL jump. Now, with no idea where they

Greetings Pilots!A lesser used feature of CounterAttack: Uprising is the very large online rooms. By default rooms for up to 8 players can be created, but by using the command "/foursquared" you can set the limit to 16. It's also possible to go higher, with the theoretical max being 99. This Saturday, 27th of September, I'll host some 32 or 64 player online games. Lets see how high it can go! The games will be open to cross-platform, so join with any system. I'll have the room open at least 30 mins before and aim to start the games at the following times:11:00 (11am) PST13:00 (1pm) PST18:00 (6
