Achievements & Milestones

Triangle Studios has been working on It came from space, and ate our brains since 15 May, 2013. Since then, a prototype game with just one level has evolved to a full game with 12 weapons, tons of items, a multiplayer version and is available on major digital distribution platforms.

• Getting featured by digital distribution platforms
  Our game has been featured on all major digital distribution platforms such as Steam, Green Man Gaming and Humble, allowing the game to get noticed by millions of gamers worldwide!
• A vibrant and active community
  With over 60.000 copies sold on PC, Mac & Linux alone, we’re exposing more and more people to It came from space, and ate our brains to make sure no more brains get eaten by those nasty aliens.
• Localizing the game for many different regions
  To minimize the costs of production we recruited volunteer translators from within our community. This approach saved costs on localization while allowing us to offer localized versions of It came from space, and ate our brains in regions where localization is very important.
• High ratings
  It came from space, and ate our brains has been critically acclaimed for its art-style, music and gameplay by game critics, journalists and the Steam community. Critics like Jim Sterling were very positive about their experience once they started shooting aliens! 90% of our community gave us a ‘thumbs up’ review on Steam and often refer to the game as a hidden gem in the Steam product catalog.

Marketing & PR

Triangle Studios developed a prototype of It came from space, and ate our brains during a game jam (internally known as ‘Protocannon’) and made the game free to play on indie gaming portals like GameJolt.com. The game received tons of positive feedback, comments from users and high ratings. Triangle Studios decided to put the game on Steam Greenlight with the ambition to self-publish the game on Steam once the game was given permission for a full-scale release of the game.

After a successful Steam Greenlight campaign we focused full-time on developing It came from space, and ate our brains, adding tons of new features, levels, weapons and a multiplayer that allows four friends to play cooperatively. We’ve also implemented the most popular features that Steam has to offer:

• Controller support: slay nasty aliens while relaxing on the couch with a controller.
• Steam Trading Cards: collect badges, backgrounds and emoticons.
• Steam Achievements: Prove to the rest of the world that aliens are no match for you!

With the help of tons of journalists, video content creators, bloggers, Steam communities, curators and our distribution partners we’re able to continue to develop (free) content updates, adding new features and gameplay elements on a monthly basis.

It came from space, and ate our brains has a bright future ahead of itself. With plenty of attractive distribution opportunities available we’re continuing to bring this product to more devices worldwide!
