The Land of Eyas Announced
London, UK – March 10, in the year of our Lord 2016
– Rising Star Games has announced a new partnership with Happy
Square Productions to publish The Land of Eyas on PC, Mac, and
Linux. Combining lovable 2D visuals with gravity-based platform
mechanics, gamers will use two opposing gravities to explore an
enchanted world, experience huge sling-shot momentum jumps, and
avoid dangerous enemies and obstacles in search for a way home.
"The fine folks at Rising Star Games are stellar promo experts
that give indie game titles the star power and attention that
they deserve,” said Stephen Hoskins, founder of Happy Square
Productions. “They disconnect the extremely arduous and time
consuming tasks of promoting games from developers, delivering
well-coordinated strategies designed to showcase the joyful
greatness of indie games. The gamer community is in for a jolt
of indie gaming goodness thanks to Rising Star Games.”
“Innovative, unique game experiences like The Land of Eyas are a
great example why indie games are so special”, said Martin
Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games. “When players
experience The Land of Eyas they’ll find a unique platforming
treasure that will challenge in new, exciting ways while
captivating gamers with its delightful art style and story.”
In The Land of Eyas, gamers take on the role Eyas, a little boy
wearing an oddly-styled cat outfit, who is caught in a world
split between two opposing gravities. To find his way Home, Eyas
has to learn how to navigate the strangely beautiful world using
the opposing gravitational forces and the objects he interacts
with along the way. On his journey, he is guided by tree wisps
that direct him to find the one they call Mother. By
manipulating jumps between the different gravity fields, Eyas
will be able to use the additional momentum to sling-shot to new
heights and access new areas.
Developed by the indie developer Happy Square Productions, The
Land of Eyas will be available this summer on Steam and selected
digital retailers. No word on a physical copy of this game at
this time.
