Pixel Starships Unveils Cyanide & Happiness Collab: New Characters, Wacky Humor

SavySoda has announced a delightfully quirky new collaboration within Pixel Starships, introducing the beloved humor of the webcomic Cyanide & Happiness into the 8-bit space adventure. Fans of the game can look forward to an infusion of the same wacky and absurd humor that the comic is known for, enhancing their intergalactic journey with new collectible items and exciting game modes that cater to those who appreciate the adorably absurd.

Dubbed "C&H Goes to Space," this event brings eight of Explosm's iconic stick-figure characters into the MMORPG. From the clueless yet durable Lunk with his high HP, to Ted Bear with his fiery abilities, and the menacing Shark Rad equipped with a Cryo Blast, these characters are set to inject a healthy dose of chaos into the game. With such a dynamic crew, players can expect unpredictable and entertaining gameplay.

As part of this limited-time event, players can access an exclusive Battle Pass and explore new narratives through themed missions. The introduction of the spice trader, Harry the Handsome Butcher, promises to bring "big guns" to the game, both in a literal and figurative sense. Additionally, players can hunt for themed rewards, including the intriguing Captain's Peg Legs item. The exact functionality of this item remains a mystery, encouraging players to dive in and discover its effects themselves.

Harry is famously described as "more pegs than limbs," adding a layer of humor and intrigue to whether you'll trust him to pilot your ship. This decision is a fun part of the adventure that players can look forward to.

For those eager to join in on the sci-fi fun and explore all these new additions, a visit to the official Pixel Starships blog will provide all the details you need to get started.
