Following its successful release on the Apple App Store in mid-September, the skill-based free-to-play game Stranded – A Mars Adventure has now also gone live on Google Play. Published by Deep Silver FISHLABS from Germany and developed by Tama Games and Mutant Games from Spain, the delightful mix of endless runner and 2D platformer marks a jubilant return to the glory days of 8-bit gaming. But don’t let its cute look and cuddly presentation mislead you. This charming-but-challenging pixel fest does not primarily cater towards a casual-gaming audience. Instead, it is located in the mid- to hardcore segment and tailored to committed skill gamers.

Stranded – A Mars Adventure centers around a little astronaut’s courageous attempts to return back home after his space ship crash-landed on the Red Planet. However, in order to reach out to his colleagues on Earth and initiate a rescue mission, he first has to jump, slide and somersault zigzag across Mars and collect the shattered components of his radio set – an ambitious undertaking that requires dexterity, persistence and perfect timing.
