About this game
Sol Mates is a roguelike co-op adventure for up to 4 players to play locally or online. Team up, blast through space hazards, and tackle ever-changing missions. One wrong move could land you face-to-face with a giant alien crab!
With Great Chaos, Comes Great Responsibility
Between loading guns, steering your ship, operating your shields, charging batteries, putting out fires and more, everyone’s gonna have to pull their own weight for your ship to stay in one piece and to complete your missions.
Decisions Decisions Decisions…
Vote on decisions big and small; you'll determine how the story unfolds. A wrecked ship lies in a volatile minefield. Do you risk it for the biscuit? If it all goes sideways, try a new path on your next run!
Turn Up The Heat
Think you and your mates got what it takes to take on greater challenges? Swing by the Space Bar to dial up the difficulty and test your crew’s skills. Add tougher enemies, wilder hazards, and unpredictable twists for a challenge worthy of the galaxy’s bravest (or most reckless) pilots.
Level Up Your Loadout (and Your Look)
The more you play, the more you unlock! New weapons, ammo types, ships, and cosmetics galore. Upgrade your gear and deck yourself out in stylish hats that won’t improve your skills… but will absolutely make you look like they do.
The Sol Mates Origin Story
Couch Co-Op is the genre of our childhoods! Well - for those of you who grew up in the 90's We wanted to make a game for you to invite your friends to come over and navigate the perils of space together. “Shields are down!” “Get to the guns!” we want players to live out those epic sci-fi movie moments we grew up with but together on the couch…or online!
Key Features:
Customize: Pick your color! Pick your hat! Pick your species(!?)
Upgrade: Shop on your journey; bigger shields, freezing ammo, tractor beams, oh my!
Vote: For decisions big and small, consult your crewmates and choose your adventure!
Juice: For veteran Sol Mates, juice up the challenge with additional difficulty to unlock more swag!

NEW MISSION: FIRST CONTACT LANDING ON NEXT FEST!
Hey there Sol Mateys! Thank you to everyone who’s joined us on our journey so far! With all your feedback and love, you’ve fueled our brand new demo update for Steam Next Fest (on June 15th!) Here’s what you can expect: A Whole New Mission: The Glorbonians are in town! You’ve only ever seen pictures of these goopy aliens, so what better opportunity to go join the celebrations? I just hope nothing goes wrong on the way…? New Friends: We’ve added brand new playable races to the game! There’s the Godents, who can hop around the ship faster than anyone (until they accidentally fall into the trash chute), the Dynamos, whose internal battery can be used to power everything around it, and the Glorbonians, whose ability to eat anything allows them to store extra items in their backpacks. You’ll have to unlock them by playing more of the demo, but I’m sure that’ll be no sweat to seasoned crew members like y’all~ New Hats (and other cosmetics): Yea, I know what you’re really here for, and we got a buncha new hats too~ Check out how they fit on the new aliens too, cause it sure is silly seeing groucho marx glasses on a squirrel! New Enemies/ Upgrades/ Shops/ Events: Honestly, there’s too much stuff to list on here, but here’s some highlights: some evil new enemies that heal other enemy ships, a new ammo type that supercharges your damage but breaks your weapon afterwards, and the Cowmedian event, where you can earn your entry into the Big Cheese Club. As always, we’re building this as a game for you to enjoy, so drop by our Discord or hit us up on our socials for your thoughts, criticisms and suggestions. I read all of them!Enjoy the shiny new stuff (in less than 2 weeks)!-Loren, Simon and the Sol MatesRead full article on Community Announcements (Game Taste)AnnouncementsOfficial
