About the Game

Go Ape Ship! is a frantic co-op multiplayer game for one to eight players. Work with your crew of daring Astrochimps to master an expanding collection of tasks, respond to emergencies, unlock new rooms and upgrades for your spaceship, and safely reach the stars. Survive together. Or not at all.

Go Ape Ship! is a Pay Once, Play Anywhere game. Play Go Ape Ship! across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, with consoles on the way. Enjoy cross-platform multiplayer with all your friends. And carry your progress and unlocked content with you across all platforms by registering your optional Sound ID.

FEATURES:

  • Travel the stars with a trusty crew of 1 to 8 players!

  • Enjoy cross-platform multiplayer with all your friends across PC, Mac, iOS, and Android!

  • Master more than 40 exciting mini games to operate your spaceship, respond to emergencies, and keep your Astrochimps fit for duty!

  • Explore, unlock, and upgrade your spaceship’s 8 distinct rooms!

  • Challenge yourself across 6 difficulty settings, including an endless mode, to trek across the Solar System and beyond!

  • Register your optional Sound ID to carry your progress and unlocked content with you across different devices!

WORK TOGETHER

In space, only your crewmates can hear you scream! Keep your spaceship on track by helping each other out with cooperative mini games. Be a pal and revive your downed teammates. Remember to ONLY use the reflex hammer to knock out your crewmates when it is medically necessary. And definitely DON’T vent your friends into the dark and lonely void of outer space. Unless they deserve it.

MAN YOUR STATIONS

It’s time to get down to monkey business! Fulfill your duties by completing the exciting mini games assigned to you. Adjust thrusters, power shields, cook delicious meals, poop in the bathroom (or not), and much more! But don’t take too long, or things on your spaceship can go awry: fires, hull breaches, and space viruses, oh my!

UNLOCK YOUR SPACESHIP’S FULL POTENTIAL

Your spaceship is your home away from home planet. As you successfully complete missions, you’ll earn research points based on your performance. Use these hard-won points to unlock additional rooms in your spaceship, each with its own set of new mini games, and to furnish them with helpful upgrades.

TRAVEL THE STARS

Bon voyage! Journey to 6 destinations across the Solar System. But beware! As you travel further from sweet Mother Earth, you’ll be assigned more tasks to keep your spaceship spaceworthy, and space emergencies will become increasingly common.
