More below as per the press release!
A Low Cost Multiplayer Blast!
Indie developer Space Raccoon Game Studio is thrilled to announce the launch of The Mosquito Gang, a chaotic, asymmetrical multiplayer game that pits one human against four bloodthirsty mosquitoes in hilarious and frantic battles of minor annoyance vs
survival. Multiplayer fans can hover erratically to Steam now to pick up the game for US$ 9.99.
120,000 Wishlists Shows This Has Legs – Or Wings
With over 120,000 wishlists and good early buzz from beta players, The Mosquito Gang launches globally today! Players can jump into 1v4 multiplayer mayhem and take on the role of a mosquito, infiltrating human turf to fill their ‘Blood Bank’ and unlock new abilities; or a human, wielding swatters, sprays, and more heavy-duty gadgetry such as laser-shooting fumigators, to rid the world of tiny bloodsucking pests.
At launch, players can tackle three unique maps, each with its own objectives, from taking out the trash to assisting a scientist with the development of a super mosquito repellent, and work to unlock a variety of accessories, including swanky hats and glasses, to make sure every match is a stylish showdown!
A Wild Ride Of Laughter, Late Nights & Hard Work
Ilia Chernetsov, CEO at Space Racoon Game Studio, said, “Developing The Mosquito Gang has been a wild ride for us, especially as this is our first self-published game. We’ve laughed, argued, and probably taken down a few hundred real-world mosquitoes ourselves during some late-night coding binges when we’ve forgotten to shut our windows properly. Multiplayer games are very close to our heart, so we’re excited to see players dive in, annoy their friends, and play our game in ways we could have never imagined.
