Lucky Space dev want to bring core gaming to Facebook

Located in San Mateo, CA, games studio A Bit Lucky is working on titles that may change the way you think about social games. Take a look at the company’s staff list, and you’ll see seasoned veterans from all corners of the games industry with collective experience from years spent working at companies like EA, Valve, Trion Worlds, and Activision. The team is made of many lifelong gamers who’ve spent years working on more mainstream titles targe🦋ting what is often called the “core gamer” audience (aka you) – and now it hopes to bring that “core-ness” to the Facebook platform with Lucky Sp⛦ace, which just launched today.

Billed as a “sci-fi building strategy,” Lucky Space charges you with exploring, building, and expanding a space colony as you join the modern day gold rush for a mysterious source of energy called “crystium.” The sprite art is gorgeous and the subtle animations for your buildings look gr🦋eat as you branch out, upgrade your colony, and watch it thrive. You even get a sense that there’s an “end-game” of sorts as you expand your area of operation and begin to see the horizon at the edge of the alien planet you’re colonizing, hinting at more to come.
