Galaxy on Fire

Fishlabs Entertainment is best known for its flagship sci-fi series Galaxy on Fire, whose second installment Galaxy on Fire 2 got awarded with the German Video Game Award for the "Best Mobile Game" in 2011 (see below). In the game you take over the role of Keith T. Maxwell, an intergalactic adventurer and space war veteran on a quest to save the universe from space pirates, smugglers, hijackers and a mysterious alien armada known as Voids.

So far, there are four different versions of Galaxy on Fire 2 on the market, namely the classic version for iOS devices, the THD version for Android smart phones and tablets with an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, the Xperia Play version for Sony Ericsson's Playstation-certified smart phone of the same name and the Full HD version for Mac (out now) and PC (planned for Q1/2012). The add-on Galaxy on Fire 2 Valkyrie, which gives the player access to new ships, weapons, missions and storylines, is so far only available for iOS devices. However, portings to other platforms have already been announced.
