Hamburg‑based indie studio Morse Morse Games launched the open‑world space adventure “Cosmodrill” on 6 July 2026, marking its first commercial release. The title places players in the role of a spacecraft pilot who drills through asteroids and planets, harvesting resources to upgrade their ship while exploring new solar systems, responding to distress signals, battling unknown threats, and uncovering planetary secrets. The game is available on Steam (link provided) and features a trailer that showcases its exploratory mechanics and atmospheric design.
The release follows support from the German Ministry of State for Culture and Media, which awarded Morse Morse Games a Press Start Founding Grant. Founder Jonas Mack holds a Games Master degree from HAW Hamburg, underscoring the studio’s academic and industry credentials. The announcement is part of a broader series of news items from Gamecity Hamburg, which highlights local indie developments such as Pipapo Games’ “Map Map”, Zintank Labs’ “Cosmic Run”, and Curvature Games’ VR title “The Amusement”. Additional coverage includes updates on the Portside Game Assembly conference, the Polaris convention, and ongoing funding programs like Prototype Funding 2026 and Games Lift 2026.
