Verona, NY -- April 13, 2012 -- Here Comes Launchman, which was first playable to the public as a featured indie game at Mojang AB's Minecon 2011 convention in Las Vegas, NV, had a publicly downloadable alpha demo for Windows and Linux computers released in February. Now players on Mac computers can get in on the action! The game follows the adventures of Launchman, an intergalactic explorer. The unique gameplay mechanics of Launchman allow players to launch themselves through the air like a rocket in any direction and manipulate objects telekinetically.
The alpha demo contains a tutorial area as well as seven full levels from the game. The same demo remains available for Windows and Linux computers.
The demo, videos, and screenshots are available at wearethelayabouts.com/content/games/launchman.
