Turbo Pelvis 3000 inc. has announced the release window for Fission Superstar X.

Their horizontal roguelite shooter will be launching sometime in May, for Windows PC (via Steam) and Xbox One for $14.99.

You have been sent by the insane Dr. Leopold on an intergalactic adventure with a ramshackle starship carrying Celine, the good doctor’s newly-constructed nuclear bomb. Manage your crew, buy and upgrade your weapons, and fight off waves of enemies as you try to fulfill Dr. Leopold’s desire to make Celine a “superstar.” You can check out the latest trailer above.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

A Glamourous Solar Odyssey
Experience a weird, relentless solar tour in this randomly generated space rogue-lite. Travel from Planet X to Earth while fending off endless waves of attackers. What is the payload? A “superstar” nuclear bomb. What is the mission? To make her famous! Does it makes sense? Ask the “scientist” who built that thing!

Space Story
While working on his latest nuclear bomb, Dr. Leopold had a revelation. He wasn’t creating a weapon of mass destruction; he was creating a nuclear superstar! Was it the radiation sickness or was Leopold always insane like this? Who knows and who cares? Now you must do his bidding and tour the solar system with Celine, his dear bomb. Who would not be thrilled to host the concert of a nuclear bomb under the control of a clearly insane scientist? Everybody it seems, that’s why they are all trying to destroy Leopold’s creation.
