Developer: KnapNok Games & Nifflas Games

I have to confess, I’m not a fan of the Wii U’s GamePad. For a peripheral that comes with every console, very few games have justified using this massive tablet over a more conventional controller. Sure, off-TV play is great and some of the early releases like ZombiU and Game & Wario provided a nice taste of what the controller was capable of, but the GamePad as a whole smacks of wasted potential. Thankfully, next week sees the eShop release of Affordable Space Adventures, a planet-exploring puzzle game that promises to put the GamePad to good use. If any studio can use this pricey controller effectively it’s developer KnapNok Games, who previously published Spin the Bottle: Bumpie’s Party, one of the few titles that did use the GamePad in interesting ways to create an quirky co-operative experience. Joining them in this collaboration is game designer Nicklas “Nifflas” Nygren, who has produced several moody games based around exploration including Knytt Underground. These two European studios both have very different styles, so how well do they mesh and deliver on their promise that the game “truly utilizes the potential of the Wii U”?

Affordable Space Adventures was announced as a Wii U exclusive last year. That being said, it sounds like a 3DS version isn’t completely out of the question.

In a Reddit AMA conducted today with the game’s developers, it was revealed that the team has “been looking into” a potential 3DS version. Note that the Wii U version is still being prioritized.

Anchel Labena, who is handling PR for Affordable Space Adventures, stated:

Actually, we’ve been looking into it and we’re in talks to see what we can do. There’s nothing we can announce yet, but we’re obviously prioritizing releasing a great Wii U game first

Labena also touched on Affordable Space Adventures’ multiplayer:

Multiplayer takes tasks that would otherwise be handled by a single player and shares them with the rest of the players.

Think of it as flying a ship solo or coordinating with a crew.

So whereas in single player one person will control all the aspects of the ship from the Gamepad, in multiplayer one will be the Navigator, piloting the ship around with a Wii remote or Pro Controller, another can be the Engineer, changing the different systems via the Gamepad touchscreen, and a third is the Science Officer, scanning alien artifacts and focusing the ship’s flashlight.

But of course, it could also just be two players and these tasks get arranged differently.

KnapNok designer Lau Korsgaard noted in the same Reddit AMA that it’s possible to play one, two or three player co-op. “The experience of the three modes are quite different actually,” he said.
