In late 2020 this game emerged as a solicited pitch for the Atari VCS. But, woe and behold, Atari took 16 months to get back to me so this game was first released here on Steam.

Well, things changed in 2022 when Atari finally featured Apolune 2 and got it onto the VCS among the first 20 games available for the Atari VCS Console. At that time, I spent 5 months developing new features, fixing bugs, and organizing experiences to facilitate the best possible experience on the VCS.
Now, those improvements can finally come to you here on Steam!
This is the best version of Apolune 2 produced to date. It introduces version VCS Release 38 (3.8 on the Atari), which added the following new items!
From left to right:
Extended Cargo Hold
Extra Oxygen Tube
Scissors
Personal Oxygenator
Tractor Beam
Bounty Hunter Contract
Station Ballast
Directional Stabilizer
Pirate Radio Receiver
This is only a partial list, as there have been many updates since we last released a version on Steam.
There is also now a global leaderboard viewable online and in the game (requires network connectivity): https://gmscoreboard.com/Apolune2
Many bug fixes, too! This is a very stable version of Apolune 2!
Explore new experiences in Apolune 2 like never before with exciting new aliens to fight, events to experience, and more to come!
