'Kokopa's Atlas' Confirmed For PC and Switch, Launches Kickstarter, Playable PC Demo Available - Trailer

Discover new beginnings after crash-landing on an undiscovered planet. Join Kokopa and Pollimero as they explore, build, garden, and meet new friends — while uncovering the mysteries of this unknown planet!

Embark on a grand journey to a fantastical, unknown planet in this procedurally generated farm & crafting adventure! In Kokopa’s Atlas, you’ll be hopping into the boots of the brave (but clumsy) Kokopa - a wannabe galactic hero - just as his ship crash lands on a strange, undocumented world.

Join Kokopa on his journey to explore and make a new life for himself on this new, uncharted planet. As you plot, design, build and farm on this fertile world, you'll also have to watch out for the dangers that come with being an intergalactic traveler! Can you keep your new home safe from cosmic pirates, the local wildlife, and the dangerous mysteries the wilderness holds?

When you happen upon a new settlement, NPCs will be tending to their day-to-day duties — or maybe slacking off! Creatures in the wilderness will also interact with their environment and towards each other — watch out for the aggressive ones!

What do you want to do today? While there is much adventuring to be done, it’s ok to spend time relaxing at your homestead. And once you’ve regrouped, there is plenty of other work to be done! Perhaps you can craft some new tools, tend to your garden, help a villager, or test your mettle in the wilds!


HyperMegaPixel has launched a kickstarter campaign for Kokopa's Atlas, looking to raise $23,679.

Kokopa's Atlas is currently confirmed for PC (Steam) and Switch, with Xbox and Playstation as stretch goals.

Players can also choose to back the game with their support - featuring a huge variety of rewards such as plushies, pins, artbooks, physical versions (courtesy of Tesura Games), and so much more.

Rafael Martín, creator and developer of Kokopa's Atlas, aims to bring a sense of wonder and play to his work. Regarding Kokopa's journey, he said, "There are lots of great games out there that do a good job of providing players with a neat farming and/or building experience. I believe Kokopa's Atlas achieves successfully to those same ends, but it goes a step beyond and really captures something magical. Throughout the design and creation of the game, there have been careful discussions and meticulous planning centered around conveying this re-discovery of the joy of exploration that often gets lost in our youth.  The game is a chance to see and learn and explore and discover and nurture in a very innocent and enjoyably naïve way. As Kokopa and Pollimero uncover a new world together, filled with strange and wonderful things, I hope their journey brings you the same amount of whimsy and joy that we felt as kids, as we saw the world for the first time."


A faithful biodroid assistant, Pollimero (model PLM-079SY) is skilled in all things exploration. (“More than an advanced vacuum cleaner!”, reads the maintenance hatch.) Pollimero's most versatile tool is the Scan-o-tron, a highly advanced module existing at the forefront of modern science. When activated by Kokopa, it emits a powerful shortwave radar throughout the surrounding environment, highlighting resources, terrain oddities, enemies, and more.

Gloves, helmets, pants, suits, and boots — you name it! Outfit Kokopa with some of the most fashionable gear on the planet, and increase your damage resistance to boot! Maybe you can find something for your little fashion-plate friend Pollimero as well.

There are a variety of berries, plants, & fruit trees you can cultivate and harvest for food to bring along on your adventures, defend yourself from enemies, assist with terraforming, and even decorate your domicile as you see fit! Chop a tree down? It’s gone now and forever — plan accordingly! Plant a seed for an aromatic flower? It’ll be there when you return . . . and maybe some creatures that enjoy the flower’s scent! Grow an expansive garden, harvest and collect a multitude of resources, build and upgrade your tools, and more!
