Outer Rangers, by Back in the Coop

 

What would be your description of your game?

Outer Rangers is a chaotic, ragdoll-physics party-brawler where your lasso is your only friend. Wrangle your opponents and send them flying off the stage to be the last one standing.

How did development start? (Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?)

We’ve spent 1000 nights on the couch screaming and laughing while playing Gang Beasts and Boomerang Fu. It’s been some of our favourite memories, but we always wanted more games. Add in the lifelong dream of making a game ourselves, and suddenly we were working on Outer Rangers!

Tell us about the team behind the game!

We’re a group of four long-time friends from very diverse backgrounds, and we’re all making a game for the first time!

What kind of experiences do you hope to bring players?

Trying to fling your friend into the next galaxy only to accidentally knock yourself out, fall down a flight of stairs onto a pile of landmines, flail wildly in the air, land precariously, then slowly roll off the edge. Lots of goofiness and laughter with friends, and a game that anyone can pick up and learn in two minutes.

In 10 words or less, highlight the appeal of the game!

Do you want to send your friend ragdolling into space?
