About Us
Propulsion Games is an indie video game studio based in Hampshire, UK.
We’re family members and friends who collaborate to make games. Over the years we’ve worked on game jams, mobile titles, self-published indie games, and even a short film or two. We do also have a love for space and science related games - which can be seen in our local multiplayer transmedia puzzle game Rockets are Super Hard with a 100+ page PDF guide, a similar streamlined solo title The Mars Agenda, and sci-fi horror narrative game Close Contact.
Our latest title Orbitect, a construction/roguelite mashup in space, was released November 2023.
