XO has warped onto Kickstarter with the help of Square Enix Collective. Inspired by sci-fi works such as Battlestar Galactica and games like FTL, XO’s spaceship fleet management gameplay challenges you to make tough decisions while on the run from an unstoppable invading force.
Square Enix Collective is supporting the Jumpdrive Studios team, helping to promote the XO Kickstarter Campaign, but it’s not a Square Enix game. As described on the game’s Kickstarter page, XO is a single player game.  Newtonian physics govern starship movement in a 2D plane. The game unfolds in real-time but you can pause the action and issue commands. Most of the gameplay is procedurally generated, including events, weapons, star systems, and personalities. These rogue-like elements ensure XO will be replayable and unique during each session.
As of this writing, the project is at $18,800 – about half-way towards its goal of $40,000 in funding. The project has another 29 days to make its target.
