Proxy Studios is teaming up with a new solo indie dev—Nate (Iron Anchor Games)—to publish Down with the Ship, a Backpack Battles-inspired spaceship auto battler.

https://steamproxy.net/steamstore/app/3523750/Down_with_the_Ship/"Design a heavily-armed spaceship. Draft 200+ items, outfit your hull, and unleash it in async PvP. Blend captains and factions for absurd combos and galactic domination. Roll, buy, place, pray."

If the game interests you, please consider wishlisting, it greatly helps us get the Steam algorithm to show us across the platform.

For those who'd like to play it early, we have the first Steam demo ready to go public on Thursday, August 7th, as part of the Tiny Teams 2025 and Debut Festival 2025 festivals (links live once the festivals start on August 7th).
