Developer Defiant Mouse announces that it is seeking Kickstarter backing for a video game called Lex Laser Saves The Galaxy, Again, which aims to use traditional roguelike mechanics while also innovating with a deeper plot, new weapons and ideas.

The team is mostly made up of alums from the MIT Game Labs.

The official description of the game reads, “With a fervor reminiscent of the Gold Rush, fortune-seekers mine asteroid fields for rare elements and search alien ruins for valuable technology. But there are scary things in those ruins, things that we don’t really understand.”

Lex Laser Saves The Galaxy, Again delivers both a Puzzle mode, designed for quick play, and an Adventure section, where player choices matter more.

Lex Laser Saves The Galaxy, Again will be launched on the PC powered by Windows and Linux and on the Mac during the first half of 2014.
