The two man development team of Matt Neff and Tony Solary, otherwise known as Flipline Studios, have launched their brand new title, Remnants of Skystone. The game blends the steampunk style with platformer gameplay and MMO components. As a character of one of three classes: the jetpack-wearing Aeronauts, the agile Ferrics, or the rope-swinging Crags, players will embark on a deep single-player experience but also branch out to cooperative online play as well.

Most of the main missions and quests involve going solo, but weekly “Trailblazing” missions are confirmed for multiplayer sessions. Flipline Studios has made the browser-based 2D side-scroller available for free at Kongregate.

Check out the full press release below for more details.

Press Release:

March 22, 2010 – Flipline Studios today announced the launch of Remnants of Skystone, a browser-based MMO that blends 2D platforming gameplay, sprawling single-player worlds, and cooperative multiplayer action set within a Steampunk world.

In Remnants of Skystone, players can choose to play as one of three distinct classes — the jetpack-wearing Aeronauts, the agile Ferrics, or the rope-swinging Crags — and will explore areas on the Ground with 2D, side-scrolling, platforming gameplay. Main missions and quests are undertaken in single-player gameplay, and players can team up with others in Co-op Trailblazing missions that change weekly. Spoils from missions can be used to decorate the players’ personal housing called Floats, where other players can visit and socialize. Players can also visit the central floating city of Nidaria to meet up with other players, take on missions and quests, and shop for new clothing, furniture, or restoratives.

Main Features:

• Free to play, browser-based game
• 2D, side-scrolling, platforming adventure with single-player and multi-player gameplay
• 3 Playable classes with unique moves and attacks
