Aggro Crab will publish and support the sci-fi platformer Rebounder. Scheduled for release in 2027, the game tasks players with navigating hazardous terrain on a lunar construction site to deliver valuable cargo to designated locations.
Rebounder is set in a remote lunar work zone where valuable resources left behind since ancient times lie buried underground. Contract workers from across the galaxy continually head to the fringes of civilization to toil on these resource extraction projects.
Players take on the role of a "Rebounder," responsible for establishing transport routes. Each day, the character must enter dangerous zones, overcoming obstacles in various ways to shuttle goods between two points. Platforming and cargo delivery form the core challenges of the game.
The game features comic-style visuals with a limited color palette and cel-shading effects, presenting a sci-fi world with a working-class vibe. The environments, characters, and machinery all revolve around an alien resource extraction site.
In terms of gameplay, Rebounder draws inspiration from challenging modified platformers, emphasizing precise timing and movement. Revealed footage includes mechanics similar to stomping and using turtle shells for jumps, requiring players to skillfully manipulate sci-fi devices within the environment to clear levels.
Rebounder is now available on Steam for wishlisting, with a tentative release window of 2027; the exact date has not yet been announced.
