Now that the madness that was E3 is over, we’re back to what writing about what really counts (and what E3 used to be about), games. Awesomenauts, the beautifully drawn, team-based arena platformer (whew!) is back to business as well, and has addressed a few issues.

Some balancing issues have been cleared up, including the nerf of an overpowered drone and “replacing Power Pills Turbo items with an item that increases your health by a small amount for free, once.”

Our indie loving brethren is Korea will finally have the opportunity to get their gaming mitts on Awesomenauts as well, when it hits their PSN store on June 20th. Moreover, networking performance should see a significant improvement too.

Developer Ronimo Games closed things out by offering a pair of sweet kicks to gamers who visit their Facebook page or follow along on Twitter, @RonimoGames. Octopi never found much of a use for shoes, so I guess we’ll just sit this one out.

Awesomenauts publisher filing for insolvency, game’s fate unknown [Update: It's Here!]

Update: It seems that they have sorted out this mess, and both will launch on XBLA and PSN as expected.

Ronimo Games was all set to launch Awesomenauts on the Playstation Network tomorrow, May 1, and free of charge for Playstation Plus subscribers. There’s one small hitch, though. Their publisher has filed for insolvency.

Publisher dtp Entertainment’s filing leaves Ronimo’s game in an uncertain place. It appears that nobody knows if the game is still coming out or not, even the developer.

“At the moment we’re unsure what this means for [Awesomenauts],” Ronimo’s Jasper Koning told IGN.

News on whether the game will be coming out as planned won’t take that long to surface, since we’ll know tomorrow whether or not it will meet with a delay whether there’s an announcement or not.
