Indie developers are the starving artists of the video-game world, often brilliant and innovative, but also misunderstood, underfunded and more prone to writing free-form poetry on their LiveJournals. We at Joystiq believe no one deserves to starve, and many indie developers are entitled to a fridge full of tasty, fulfilling media coverage, right here. This week, the asteroidea duo discuss their rockin'-retro iOS title, Planetary Escape.

What's your game called, and what's it about?

Our game is called Planetary Escape, and it is for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch. It is a retro-styled arcade game set deep within a planet's core. Much to your dismay, the planet is gonna blow! You make the wise decision to forgo that last cup of tea, and run to your rocket. With
molten lava hot on your tail, you fly your rocket through treacherous caverns of pixelated goodness, and shoot any destructible rocks in your path.
