Giant Spacekat first demoed Revolution 60 at Pax East in March 2013, where the game was listed as one of the 10 best indie games of the conference.[1] Originally targeted to release in late 2013, the development schedule was extended. In July 2013 the company ran a Kickstarter campaign, asking for $5,000 to accommodate the extra time, and to fund a PC release of the game in addition to iOS. The fundraiser brought in $12,728.[2] The game, created with the Unreal Engine for a total budget of a few hundred thousand dollars, was released for iOS devices in July 2014. Wu, who described the sci-fi themed action-adventure as "Heavy Rain mixed with Mass Effect", was credited as head of development.[3] Reflecting the all-female development team, the game features an all-female cast.[4] The Guardian describes it as "a cartoonish science fiction adventure for smartphones, notable for its all-female cast and cinematic story, a rarity on mobile platforms."[5] One reviewer on Pocket Gamer called it intelligent and "hugely entertaining". Another cited some issues with pacing and a heavily linear storyline, but overall found it "enjoyable and compelling."[6][7]
