Sweden - 15 October 2026 - Tangleroots today announced Starmax, coming to Steam for Windows and macOS in 2027. The announcement trailer and the Steam page are out now.
Starmax is a sci-fi roguelike bag-builder: a deck-builder where you draw from a bag instead of a deck. Shape your bag, build your base, and combine the two into one engine. Explore hostile planets, scavenge for resources, and ship your cargo before your base is overrun.
• Instead of drawing cards from a deck, you draw tokens that act like resources.
• Shape your bag by boosting, destroying, discovering, and producing tokens.
• Defend yourself against hostile creatures.
• Build your base and upgrade it with the blueprints you learn.
• Ship cargo to win, before your base is overrun.
• Play as one of three factions, each with its own starting bag and buildings.
• Explore deserts, tundras, and jungles, each with its own unique creatures and secrets.
The price has not been set.

About Tangleroots
Tangleroots is a newly founded Swedish game studio run by Markus Tinnfält and Adam Ramberg. The two first teamed up about ten years ago at a game jam, where they made a game called Tangleroot, the project that would later give the studio its name. Since then, they've released several projects together and are now working on their first commercial title, Starmax.
