Steam v1.0, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S Launch Q1 2022
OLYMPIA, Wash. — May 10, 2020 — Journey to Moonray, the hypnotic twin-stick shooter with evocative visuals from developer Element 115, touches down on Steam Early Access for Windows PC in Q4 2021. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will turn their powerful next-gen hardware on Journey to Moonray’s stellar top-down fluid landscapes in Q1 2022 alongside the v1.0 launch on Steam.
Journey to Moonray depicts the voyage through hyperspace on the way to the planet where upcoming Souls-like hack-and-slash Moonray takes place. Set forth in Element 115’s shared surreal universe ahead of Moonray’s Summer 2022 PC launch and subsequent Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 release.
Dash through 40 gorgeous dynamic levels available at the start of Journey to Moonray’s Early Access. Enemies, bosses, bullets, and bombs all disturb the cosmic liquids of the battlefield to create a striking visual treat. Plunge into wave after wave of enemies amidst 700 high-tech fluid shaders and unlock the ability to customize the space shooter with your favorite liquid looks.
Designed to take full advantage of the latest GPU technologies and power, Journey to Moonray offers beautiful shaders built on fluid physics, each generated from a blend of liquid flow mechanics and models of random patterns occurring in nature such as how spots form on a leopard’s fur. Combined with real-time gameplay input from battles, the result is a responsive feast for the eyes.
Approach the visual banquet table with four game modes available at the start of Early Access. Reach a target score within a set time limit in Deadline, or within a limited number of lives in Survival mode. Rack up points while battling waves in Traversal to hit a target score by the end of the level. Take on extra deadly enemies in Boss mode, dealing with the toughest challenges before time runs out.
“Journey to Moonray rewards fans of classic twin-stick shooters with familiar modes and gameplay while upping the graphical ante to unprecedented levels using everything we’ve learned working on Moonray,” said Rodrigo Etcheto, founder, Element 115. “We hope everyone waiting for our Souls-like will enjoy this peek into the visual delights ahead.”
Additional bosses and game modes will be added between the start of Steam Early Access and the v1.0 as well as the simultaneous console launches. The number of shaders will double to around 1,400 by the Q1 2022 release. Co-op mode is planned for a post-launch update.
Journey to Moonray releases later this year on PC via Steam with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X coming 2022. The game will debut with support for English, Russian, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Japanese.
Founded by Rodrigo Etcheto, a student of philosophy, mathematics, and photography, Element 115 represents the artistic output of Etcheto and a team of international collaborators creating games with a singular sense of beauty. Named after a quote attributed to Thales by the philosopher Aristotle, the studio believes everything is alive and creates art combining the power that comes from an individual artist’s clear vision with the benefits of the many ideas a team can bring to the table.

Build from scratch, clean, repair, renovate, and decorate your very own castle. Or a shed, barn, palace or even a pirate ship! Whatever makes you happy as the royal craftsman you’re about to become in Castle Flipper. The game will launch on Steam on May 27th and later on Xbox One, Series X/S, and PlayStation 4 & 5.
Take the unique chance of becoming a medieval royal craftsman. Build your royal abode, re-arrange the castle at your discretion, breathe a whole new life into the old rooms, and, one day, maybe even become a king.
Add the game to your wishlist on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/944250/Castle_Flipper/), follow it on social media, and have an impact on the game’s discount at launch! Reaching 5,000 followers will guarantee a 10% launch discount, with 5,500 giving a 15% discount and 6,000 meaning 20% off at the time of launch!
ABOUT CASTLE FLIPPER
Castle Flipper takes place at the turn of the 16th and 17th century, which is of significant importance to the decor and renovation options gamers will have at their disposal. Next to the usual medieval buildings, they will also be able to find some baroque and renaissance elements that will add variety to the gameplay and give players more options for interior decoration.
Become a medieval builder – build your own kingdom and customize it to your liking. Start with your own inherited piece of bare land, then work as a craftsman to clean, repair, build, and decorate medieval, renaissance, and baroque buildings and castles. Visit beautiful locations, work hard, and maybe one day the saying “my home is my castle” will have a literal meaning to your royal self.
CASTLE FLIPPER – MAIN FEATURES
Explore new locations. The piece of land you’ve inherited is only the beginning. Complete quests, and you’ll get the chance to visit many beautiful lands, filled not only with castle chambers to repair but also sheds, barns, huts, houses, mansions, palaces, and even pirate ships!
Become a designer. Building your castle from scratch is one thing. It’s another thing entirely to make sure its interiors and exteriors are equally impressive. Choose and plant trees in the courtyard and place animals in the crofts. Decide on the shapes and designs of flags and pennants, and make sure your creation will be one of a kind.
Build, demolish, repeat. Some designs look great on paper but fail to impress in real life. So, what if you’re not happy with your work? Destroy what you’ve built, see how everything collapses spectacularly, and then start all over.
Manage reconstruction. Building your own castle is a completely different challenge from renovating something that was once a castle. It’ll take a lot of effort to rebuild destroyed walls or repair shattered walls, bridges, or towers. You’ll have to take a completely different approach to bring the conquered castle back to its former glory.
Castle Flipper is being developed by Pyramid Games and will be published on Steam on May 27th by Gaming Factory and Ultimate Games. The game will also come to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 4 & 5 at a later date.

After a successful turn on Google Play, Spiral Warrior will soon twirl onto Apple devices
SINGAPORE – May 7, 2021 – Electronic Soul, one of the leading game developers and publishers based in Asia, has announced its anime-themed spinning battle tops RPG, Spiral Warrior, is now available for pre-registration on the App Store and will launch on iOS soon.
Spiral Warrior gives players the power to customize the components of their Spirals, offering an unlimited number of combinations that significantly increase its battle value as they work to discover the optimal combination of the Battle Cap, Weight Ring, and Driver. Once players are content with how their Spiral looks on paper, it’s time to get it in the ring to see how it performs against other spinners. Development studio Light x Shadow worked hard to give Spirals realistic movement trajectories that perform like the real-life toys they’re based upon. The combination of developing a combat collision and physics engine gives Spiral Warrior an unparalleled amount of realism.
Spiral Warrior features rich gameplay modes including an epic 81-player Survival Mode, which pits 81 players online simultaneously to see who the last spiral warrior will be, Super Championship, which allows players to use their exclusive spinning tops to challenge other players from all over the world and earn huge rewards if they reach the top of the rankings, and Random Adventure, which takes players across numerous chapters to overcome unknown challenges using their wit and will. No matter the mode, players will be able to battle spirals using simple and intuitive controls in combat that take no longer than 30 seconds to complete. Take on all comers wherever you are!
In addition to Spiral Warrior’s compelling gameplay and game modes, the title uses a high-quality anime art style for each Spiral’s avatar that adds character to each spinner. Spiral Warriors — like Beelzebub, Valkyrie, and Behemoth — have their own stats, unique abilities, and strengths and weaknesses, making it important to learn about each one before spinning them into battle. Battles are largely passive, but players can activate abilities once they become available that can turn the tide of any skirmish.
Spiral Warrior launched on Android last year to great acclaim and has achieved a 4.5 Star rating (out of 29K+ reviews) on the Google Play store. iPhone and iPad users who pre-register for the game will be able to earn several in-game items, such as Gold, Gems, a Chronokey, or Lucky Draw tickets. The more pre-registrations the game receives, the better the prize for everyone!
