- Announcing Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop! - 20 September 2022
People, a moment of your time, please! Let me tell you all about Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop, the latest game in the works by Beard Envy, the very same development team who made… you guessed it, Filament! On an asteroid-bound service station in an unfrequented space lane, Wilbur carves out a paltry living as a mechanic, repairing as many ships as he can to afford the ever-rising rent payments to his tyrannical boss, Uncle Chop.

Wake up, clock in, fix ships, make friends and enemies, pay rent, upgrade your workshop, ponder the futility of your existence, go to bed and then do it all over…
