Kickstart this: Space adventure Her Majesty's SPIFFING aims its comedy at British patriotism
To space we politely go
Spacefaring comedy adventure with a very British heart Her Majesty's SPIFFING is now on Kickstarter.
Again. Yeah, this is the game's second appearance on the crowdfunding site, and this time developer Billy Goat Entertainment is looking for £30,000 in total.
This will go towards pushing the game's three chapters out sooner rather than later, mostly.
It says nothing about the iOS version of the game on that Kickstarter page, mind. We asked Billy Goat about that and, rest assured, it's still coming our way.
So, to recap, Her Majesty's SPIFFING is a point-and-click adventure about Captain Frank Lee English and his Welsh colleague Aled.
The basis of their exploits is travelling across outer space in search of planets for the galactic British Empire to claim.
It's a comedy that touches on patriotism, British sensibilities, and colonialism. It also has touches of more absurd, light-hearted jokes and gags.
We went hands-on with Her Majesty's SPIFFING at Gamescom and came away with words. Some of them were "funny", "charming", and "moustachioed".
If that gets your feathers ruffled with interest, you can back it on Kickstarter - there's a PC copy available at the £10 tier.
There's also a Windows, Mac, and Linux demo available if you have one of those systems you can run it on.
As to the iOS version, well, you'll just have to wait for it to arrive. And, depending on the funding it gets, that could be next year, or it could be at the distant shores of time.
