The team at indie developer LightBox Interactive brings plenty of experience to the table with an ex-console team members known for PlayStation hits such as Twisted Metal, Warhawk and War of the Monsters. So it’s no surprise that their maiden mobile title is the awesome looking, starship-combat game called PlunderNauts. With an unprecedented rate of explosions-per-second, PlunderNauts combines skill-based gameplay and intuitive controls with a deep loot-system and customizable starships.

Founded by 15-year veterans of the console industry, LightBox was established in 2009 in Austin, Texas to develop explosive, fast-paced, and innovative games for players who love the action genre. “The team and I wanted to develop a mobile game for quite some time, but it was crucial that we deliver that same energy and excitement we loved from our past console action games,” said Dylan Jobe, President of LightBox Interactive. “PlunderNauts is that game and we’re stoked to finally release it globally. It’s fast and fun, and the game design allows players to get a quick-fix of epic-space-battle-action or deep-dive into strategy, upgrades, collecting and crafting.”
