Flotilla, a new game from BLENDO Games, looks to finally pick up the space-strategy mantle that has been largely forgotten in recent years, confined mainly to interesting indie titles such as Eufloria (and admittedly Flotilla is also quite indie!)

As displayed in the tutorial video released recently, they seem to be doing some very neat things with 3D space and tactics. However, what really caught my ear was the amusing decision to juxtapose quiet piano music during its slow-paced unfolding of combat underway. Given BLENDO’s great work on the more art-game side of things with Gravity Bone last year, I’d certainly say Flotilla is worth keeping an eye on.
