Capsized is a science fiction-themed platform game with run and gun mechanics. It was developed by Alientrap. Capsized was released for Microsoft Windows on April 29, 2011, on Steam. The iOS version, called Capsized+, was available February 13, 2013, and published by IndiePub. The soundtrack is provided by Solar Fields; the ambient electronic music is from his 2009 album Movements.[2] The game was also released for Xbox Live Arcade on July 5, 2013, and was supposed to be released at a later time for the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network,[3] but somehow got canceled.

Reception

The PC version and Capsized+ received "favorable" reviews, while the Xbox 360 version received above-average reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[4][5][6] Official Xbox Magazine gave the Xbox 360 a mixed review while it was still in development a year-and-a-half before its release date.[15]
