Firefly Studios and Gathering Launch Alien Horde on Gigex.com

Mini-game Teases Personalities Featured in Sim Builder, Space Colony

In this action-oriented mini-game, players assume the role of Venus, Space Colony¹s spunky leading lady. Venus must fight off flocks of aliens while trying to rescue Stig, Space Colony¹s hard-working, hot-tempered, Norwegian biker. Alien Horde is open-ended, and as the levels progress, the gameplay becomes more frantic and intense. Six different types of aliens attack Venus from every direction - plus, she¹s running out of oxygen! This IS outer space after all, what¹d you expect?

Venus and Stig are just two of 20 characters in Space Colony. Space Colony is being developed by Firefly Studios, the creative force behind the wildly successful Stronghold series. Published by Gathering, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, Space Colony will be landing on store shelves this October.
