▶

Although she is commonly referred to as a 'comet', Rose is actually a celestial entity taking the form of a stone shrouded in flames. Rose joins Bea as the latter falls from exhaustion in the sands of Gula. Rose uses her powers to give Bea hope and motivates her to continue her journey in search of her home.
Rose is a very lively, expressive and emotional being - this is also how she is presented in the first concepts.
The comet's company influences the gameplay. While Bea could rely mainly on her canine skills - establishing relationships, using her senses or hiding and squeezing through narrow nooks and crannies - the company of Rose greatly expands her skillset. Rose's abilities with Bea make the gameplay much more dynamic and more dexterous.
One of the first new abilities we learn with a comet is a double jump. It allows access to previously inaccessible places, that previously required Bea to carefully balance flying islands or using her head are now traversed on the fly.
The second ability is telekinesis. It allows you to manipulate heavy objects. If for some reason a double jump is not enough to get to a high rock ledge - there will certainly be a box or a boulder nearby which, with the help of a comet, we can move into the right place.
The comet's third ability is shot, which allows it to destroy obstacles. It is useful both in clearing the road of dry thorny stalks, as well as in clashes with the enemy Artificial Intelligence technology. Until now, Bea mostly hid from hostile machines in the bushes, letting them pass by her. Now jumping the robot and hitting its power source is not a problem!
However, all these extremely useful and liberating skills are available to Bea only in the company of a friend. So its good that (almost) nothing can separate them!

Space Tail is a 2.5D adventure platformer, which immerses the player in a deep, emotional plot, and lets him explore new planets and interact with alien civilizations.

Every journey changes the point of view – it grows with the traveller. Our game tells a story about self-exploration, transformation and understanding the world around us.

The plot of the game is inspired by real events, when people began their conquest of space by sending animals to the stars. We intended it to be a kind of a tribute to all the animals that paved the way for humans to go into space. Most of these animals - the first astronauts, did not survive the journey. Our story tells of the adventures of a dog named Bea, who... managed to beat the odds.

Bea is a cheerful and courageous character, but the player must remember that she is just a... dog. She has all the characteristics of a mongrel - she barks, likes to chase her own tail, and learns about the world through her senses. Bea can sniff, listen and observe. These are the main mechanics of detective mode which will help her in exploring and understanding her environment.

Bea travels through space discovering more planets. Each planet is different and has its specific inhabitants, who can either become friends of the main character or be very unfriendly towards her. We are convinced that exploring this amazing world together with Bea will give the player a lot of satisfaction and pleasure.

Key Features:
- Become an astronaut dog and experience an extraordinary space adventure

- Solve unusual and sophisticated logic puzzles
- Test your agility by overcoming the dangers lurking on alien planets

- Immerse yourself in the stirring original soundtrack
