Indie Project Rex Rocket Meets Kickstarter Target

Indie Kickstarter project Rex Rocket has met its target after a successful campaign, with plans for a Wii U and 3DS version.

The 2D retro-inspired futuristic platformer met its goal at the end of last week. Confirmed for PC  for release in January next year, developer Rob Maher has highlighted that he will try to get the project released on the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS in the future.

Set in the distant future, players take on the role of Rex Rocket, a former war hero who now transports scientists to the furthest regions of the universe in his Star Cruiser, the S.S. Montana. However on one mission the Terra-Oozings break free and cause the ship's computer to break down. It's up to Rex to stop the computer and rescue his crew!
