First game for the franchise on mobile ever! SPACE RANGERS: QUEST is a new text adventure in the world of Space Rangers with a touch of nostalgia. Save the Coalition from the new threat! Choose a space ship and sail on a journey. You are to research the origin of the threat and defend the organic life. But do not expect to be laureled – a life of the ranger is full of danger. You will be getting hard-earned credits, doing the dirty and sometimes illegal work. But if you manage to get space maps, then you will gain access to the entire galaxy full of possibilities. Intelligent and over-intelligent races, battles vs. pirates, holograms and hallucinations, battle controlled robots! Never say never and just be on guard. Key features • CLASSIC TEXT QUESTS. A classic sci-fi saga both in the form and contents, easy written and humorous. • INGENIOUS PUZZLES. A space ranger shall be smart and intuitive to find the way out of challenging situations. Dozens of unrepeatable situations – from combat to especially hard-to-crack puzzles. • SPACE BATTLES. It is kind of stupid to leave a dock without guns – humongous space monsters are quite unlikely to attack you, but numerous pirates from every system definitely can. Shields ready? • ROLE-PLAYING. By completing tasks you can earn not only credits to get fuel or repair a ship, but also to do multiple upgrades. Spend them all, or deposit for future – this is the question. So use them wisely! • RANDOM EVENTS. Every system always means a new acquaintance, but it is quite hard to tell what it brings. • UNKNOWN TWISTS and Turns of Supposedly Well-Known Events. An attentive ranger will find out much more than what was in the galaxy news.

The world of PixelTerra is quite dangerous so you need to build a shelter, find some food supply and get ready to protect yourself from monsters in order to survive at least a couple of days. Then you can only hope that the walls of your shelter will be strong enough to withstand the onslaught. In this game you will see: ● More than 100 recipes in the craftbook ● Dungeons with treasures ● Customized world generation and adaptive difficulty ● Loot with random properties ● Day/Night cycle + weather effects ● Hunting and fishing ● Animal and crop farming ● Trading with aborigines Tips for the beginner: ● If you don’t like Survival mode, you can turn off strong monsters and starvation in the settings. ● Also you can slow down game speed If you play for the first time or constantly die. ● Do not try to build a good shelter right away. Hide yourself first in the stone arrays. New blocks, items and recipes are permanently added in the game to make it more diversified and interesting to play. This game is not only about minecraft, but more about survival on a dangerous island and finding a loot with better properties. The gameplay contains elements of roguelike and rpg games.
