Travel The Galaxy…On A Rope, In ‘Sky Tourist’

Back during my days in Astronaut School, I learned a thing or two about space travel. One thing I learned was that monkeys learn really fast, and that when monkeys learn faster than you do, the scientists tend to kick you out of Astronaut School. One thing I did not learn, however, was that using a rope is a viable method to travel through space. Luckily for us, developer 3LeggedEggs’ game Sky Tourist , is about to teach us how that works.

3LeggedEggs’ debut title, Sky Tourist is set to release for iOS devices on July 25th. Playing as Petey Pendant players will swing back and forth across a rope that is being pulled by a space shuttle on either end. As the shuttles fly upwards, players will have to shift Petey around the screen, in order to avoid obstacles and collect goodies. Watching the trailer will give you a good idea as to how this mechanic works.

Sky Tourist boasts 75 levels across three planets (Plumia, Platory, and Protor…what’s up with 3LeggedEggs and the letter P?), and the unique control scheme is a nice departure from the typical touch-screen controls. Players will progress through the game by collecting cubelets, which are the in-game currency used to unlock new ships, characters, and different parts of the game.

As you’ve probably already noticed, Sky Tourist comes with an irresistibly charming art style that is brought to players by artist David Kozma, whose work you may remember from Fortix 2 .
