Kosmokrats

Kosmokrats is a humorous puzzle adventure game about the communist space race. It is a game created by the developers from the Pixel Delusion studio in Olsztyn, Poland. The Polish team received support from Modern Wolf in the creation and release of this debut project.

Plot

Kosmokrats present a parody of the 1960s space race. from the perspective of the Soviet Union. As a member of the communist elite space forces, we pilot a drone and, with its help, assemble ships on which the working class will set out to conquer the Solar System and beyond. The game has a humorous overtone in the convention of black humour, typical for productions inspired by the Soviet Union.

Mechanics

In the game, we control a single drone in space, which we observe from the side along with elements of ships and astronauts scattered around. Elements of ships can be pulled or pushed to be joined together in the structures required to complete the mission. However, it is important to make sure that the objects are in contact with connectors of the same colour, because, for example, an attempt to connect the blue and red sockets can lead to disastrous results. It's also better not to put the lives of astronauts in too much danger. Even small failures will sooner or later negatively affect the state of the fleet and decide whether it will be able to go on the conquest of space. This means that no two games are the same, providing a slightly different experience.

During the game, we meet many characters who make the game more or less colorful thanks to their humorous comments. In our free time we can also have a look at our office, where we can find medals for the missions accomplished, party newspapers informing us about the progress of the fight against capitalists and game consoles, thanks to which we can relax before the next task.

Technical aspects

Kosmokrats uses a three-dimensional graphics, although during the mission we observe the game from a view typical of 2D production. The graphics are kept in a caricatured style, which can be seen in the simple and slightly exaggerated character models.
