KnapNok’s Anchel Labena has commented on a number of topics pertaining to Affordable Space Adventures as part of an interview with Nintendo Life.

Regarding the game’s reception, Labena said that the game has received “some pretty amazing reviews”, which came as a bit of a surprise given its “quirky nature”. Sales were strong out of the gate, though “things slowed down a bit during the months after.”

Labena’s comments in full:

“We’ve been getting some pretty amazing reviews, which we are obviously really happy about. It really caught us by surprise, since Affordable Space Adventures is such a quirky title that we didn’t know what the press would think about it. I guess that all the positive press really affected sales at launch, because we saw a sudden surge of interest from players, YouTube streamers and other media outlets who hadn’t heard about the game before its launch.

While sales kicked off to a great start, things slowed down a bit during the months after launch. We still keep selling units on a daily basis though. It doesn’t come as a surprise either. We are, after all, a digital-only release, and presence in the Wii U eShop is crucial for us. Every time our game shows up in the eShop front page (like a banner, a Nintendo Highlights video or being included in a list of indie games for example), we have a considerable spike in sales. The new update is surely going to get a new surge of interest in the title, so we hope to keep the momentum going with that. We also just launched in Japan, and that’s definitely a super interesting market to get into. You have to think different in how you approach the audience there. Luckily, there are also fans there. One of them posted a drawing on Miiverse and it took as a while to understand that her handwriting said “I’ve been waiting for a year for this game since Knytt Underground” (Knytt Underground being the previous game of Affordable Space Adventure’s Game Director, Nicklas Nygren). What I can tell you, however, is that the game has definitely been a success for us and we are quite happy about how it is performing.”

In August, we posted about a new sci-fi/horror first-person shooter for the Wii U eShop known as Chasing Dead. There hasn’t been much news about the game since, but it has remained in development – and the game should be arriving pretty soon.

Leo, a reader of Nintendo Everything, reached out to developer 2020Venture to find out about the latest progress. There are apparently just a couple of bugs that need to be addressed. Once that’s done, it can go through the approval process. It won’t be too long hopefully!

YIIK has a slightly more specific release window. At least for now, the title is planned for release between mid December and late February.

AckkStudios has also reiterated what we’ve heard about the Wii U version. On the GamePad, it will be possible to take on battle mode mini-games that are tailored specifically for the controller. Music-based mini-games will use the touchscreen keyboard to play songs.
