'Fireline Games,' the Polish independent game studio, has announced 'Fueled Up,' a four-player couch co-op game set in a crumbling spaceship. The gameplay will be similar to single-screen co-op simulation games like 'Overcooked' and 'Moving Out,' but with much higher stakes due to Fueled Up's unique setting.
In Fueled Up, players are tasked with piloting a crumbling spaceship and keeping the ship together as long as possible. As the game progresses, players must repair hull breaches, extinguish fires, fix the airlock, and handle various other catastrophes as the ship gets closer to a safe haven. Each level will pose different challenges for the player as the game grows in intensity the further the players get to the end.
Fireline Games confirmed that the title will be coming to both major consoles, as well as PC through the Steam platform.
