If you missed the title, I'll repeat myself. The wonderful sights found in the space-poking adventure game The Great Fluctus include beans, slug milk, alien volleyball, egg discussions, and a giant frog. Additional screenshots show this frog later gaining wings. Like a captive Generation Game host, I can't help but shout out more incredible sights as it flies around on the conveyor belt of a pure-flip video game in front of me. There are dance parties with terrifying gorilla aliens. There's building the Statue of Liberty out of goo, specifically as George Washington's slimy clone intended. There's also just sitting on a bench and enjoying the beautiful, serene space scenery. Feast your hungry face on the trailer.
“A very relaxing game to clear your head for an hour, exploring cozy alien worlds, trading with mutants, rebuilding society, and saving the world,” its Steam page reads. “You're on a mission to explore strange new worlds, trade with strange mutants, and rebuild society.” Said society has apparently succumbed to the evils of too many phones, which I'd say is a bit trite and unimaginative if the trailer hadn't convinced me that there's no shortage of imagination here.
As you explore, you'll “form bonds with peculiar characters and guide entire civilizations, affecting their futures through your choices and quests.” There's a section in the trailer where you lead a small group of gribbly creatures into a war, perhaps? Less interesting to me is the full story told on Steam, which is definitely a case of “less talk, please,” but your opinion may differ. Still, I love very large frogs, so this is a wishlist item for me. There's no release date yet, but The Great Fluctus looks like the work of a single developer. Let them cook the space beans, I say.
