Developed by Insomniac Games, it is the developer's first social video game, as well as their first game for a non-Sony platform. The game is published by Electronic Arts and was released as an open beta in July 2012.[1][2] It was announced by Insomniac Games that the game would no longer be available on Facebook from January 31, 2014 and would be ported to iOS. The game was shut down on February 1, 2016. GameplayAs Outernauts, players must explore alien planets to capture and nurture creatures with which to do battle, in gameplay similar to the Pokémon series. Player actions are limited by "energy", an in-game resource that accumulates over time, but which can also be purchased with real-world currency.[3] Critics praised the game's presentation, with Eurogamer noting its "classy cartoon visuals, slick orchestral soundtrack and finely-tuned UI." Eurogamer commented on the size of the game's world, describing how even with a week of play, most of the galaxy map had yet to be unlocked.[3] GamesTM too, praised the game world as "interesting to explore", the characters "providing a sense of unknown that continues to entice".[4] Inside Social Games compared the depth of Outernauts' gameplay favourably to other social games, but warned that the social viral mechanics, such as "nag screens" and "pay to win" mechanics would ward off the core gamers it set to attract.[2] GamesTM likewise, found the energy system to be the game's biggest hindrance, and one which could frustrate by interrupting gameplay. Despite this, GamesTM concluded that Outernauts was "a step up on most Facebook games".[4] ClosureOn December 14, 2015, Insomniac announced that all the microtransactions options were removed, and that the game is shut down permanently on February 1, 2016. Insomniac explained that the current player base was too small,{{efn|According to Insomniac, the game was played by millions of players since its launch.}} and that the overall game became unprofitable.[5] ReferencesNotes{{Notelist}}References1. ^{{cite web| url=http://media.next-gen.biz/news/insomniac-reveals-first-facebook-game-outernauts| title=Insomniac reveals first Facebook game, Outernauts| author=Ben Maxwell| work=Edge| date=2012-05-09| accessdate=2012-08-29}} 2. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.insidesocialgames.com/2012/07/23/outernauts-review/| title=Outernauts Review| author=Pete Davison| work=Inside Social Games| date=2012-07-23| accessdate=2012-08-29}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-08-20-outernauts-review| title=Outernauts Review| author=Johnny Minkley| work=Eurogamer| date=2012-08-20| accessdate=2012-08-29}} 4. ^1 {{cite journal| title=Outernauts Review| journal=GamesTM| issue=126| pages=98| url=http://www.gamestm.co.uk/reviews/outernauts-review/}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/millions-played-it-but-ratchet-and-clank-devs-oute/1100-6433055/|title="Millions" Played It, But Ratchet & Clank Dev's Outernauts Is Shutting Down|first=Eddie|last=Makuch|work=GameSpot|date=December 11, 2015|accessdate=December 14, 2015}} External links
