History
Spacejacked began as an attempt in 2013 to create a 2D metroidvania game featuring gravity manipulation as the core mechanic. As development dragged on, we realized that we were over-ambitious, and decided to build something much smaller. We created three small arenas, added the building of turrets as a mechanic, and threw in lots of enemies. We liked what we saw, and decided to expand upon it!
- March 2014 - Development on Spacejacked began.
- October 2014 - Official announcement made.
- April 2015 - Spacejacked was Greenlit by the Steam community after 47 days.
- September 2015 - Spacejacked won the Best Linux Game award in the Intel Level Up Game Demo Contest.
- 26 February 2016 - Spacejacked was released on Steam.
- August 2016 - Porting of Spacejacked to PS4 and Vita began.

Awards & Recognition

Selected Articles
- "If nothing else, Spacejacked easily meets the most important criteria I have when reviewing games - fun. Its frantic pace, interesting take on the genre, and well-executed mechanics make for an enjoyable experience."
- Chaz Miller, Twinfinite - "The mechanics in the game work so well that you don’t want to put the game down."
- Eric Mortensen, Geeky Hobbies - "Build turrets, manage resources, shoot aliens, and die a bunch. It's that kind of game, and it's a lot of maddening, campy fun though it might also drive you completely insane."
- Erik Kain, Forbes - "By mixing a 2D side-scrolling shooter with traditional tower defense, the developers have created an intoxicatingly addictive action game that perfectly transcends genres."
- Cyril Lachel, Defunct Games - "My expectations were low, I was expecting a 30 minute session, maximum. Two hours later and my food’s burnt, I’m jumping between 3 different areas defending from alien hordes, while collecting scrap metal for my freshly developed turret obsession. Welcome to Spacejacked."
- Marc Hemming, Big Boss Battle
