Exit Strategy Entertainment has passed along a fact sheet for their upcoming platformer Pirates of New Horizons, giving us some updated release target info along with some other new details.

A prototype of the game is currently being finalized and prepped for release, it will serve as a way for the developers to gauge the viability of putting in the time and resources it would take to make a full version of the game. It will be available for free through browsers as well as a download for both PC and Mac. Of course, if you’ve been tracking the title you already knew all this. So let’s get to some of the new stuff.

Now targeted for release in late September/early November, the prototype will put players in control of space pirate Annha after she’s defended herself from a hostile alien attack. Forced to land near a remote island due to a busted-up ship, she’ll have to find a way to repair her vessel as well as solve mysteries around the island in order to collect gold and jewels.

The version of the game will contain three different levels (30-45 minutes of gameplay) and includes usable items like the compass, grappling hook and kharma bombs. Purchasable upgrades and side quests are also teased in the fact sheet.

Exit Strategy has also pulled the curtain back on the “Volcano Island” dungeon for the game, which plays host to lava, aliens and a bottomless pit waiting to swallow anyone who slips up. The team has confirmed that the dungeon will be one of the three different levels included in the nearing prototype version of the game. Check out the new screenshots:
