Rymdkapsel Now on Mac and PC

There aren’t too many games that get my attention, but rymdkapsel was one of them. It was the right kind of addicting eerie fortress defense meets Tetris meets what-are-these-monoliths that brought something unique and different to the touchscreen. The game’s back, now available on Mac, PC, Linux, through Steam or the rymdkapsel page.

The desktop edition of the game includes new game modes: Plus mode features four new mysterious monoliths to unlock, and Zen mode removes the invading space aliens from the game for a meditative experience.

A special Monolith edition of the game is exclusively available from the developer, and includes DRM free versions of the game for all desktop platforms, a Steam code, the original Android version of the game, a complete 45 minute soundtrack, ringtones, and a bonus game for the PC (Windows) version.

Rymdkapsel is available for $7.99 through the Humble Store and on Steam. The Monolith edition of the game is $11.99 and exclusively available on the Humble Store. You can also get the soundtrack separately on Bandcamp for €4.
