“Oh hello, I’m Professor Kelvin Harris, the resident scientist for Codec moments and you find me once again in my local coffee shop enjoying a minty mocha with my lab technician Brian here.â€

“Hello.  I’m allowed water as it doesn’t make me fractious.â€

“I and many others would think nothing of walking into our local coffee emporiums and paying a few pounds for a foamy macchiato; so why do people shy away from paying the same amount for a mobile game?  Together Brian and I are on a mission to bring you interesting and exciting mobile games that might give you many more hours fulfillment than that frappuccino.  We want to divert some of those misappropriated funds; after all in the United Kingdom we spend around £2.5 million pounds on coffee every day and recently even the Italian Space Agency in conjunction with Lavazza and Argotec have developed an espresso machine for the International Space Station (http://youtu.be/cx45rg8Q-Cw).

Dubbed the ISSpresso, it will be launched into orbit with Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti in November, making her the world’s first baristronaut.  I anticipate a Starbucks on the moon by 2015.â€

“Would they pay moon tax to the Clangers Professor?â€

“Hello, as the resident lawyer for Codec Moments I have strongly advised Professor Kelvin Harris not to provide a punchline to the aforementioned joke and remind you that Starbucks has always complied with all UK tax laws.  We have also been contacted by the Clangers to clarify that they do not in fact inhabit the Moon, a common misconception since the release of the Noggin the Nog book ‘Noggin and the Moonmouse’.  Clangers are not Moonmice and they have prepared the following statement:â€

“Also apologies if you’re outside of the UK and under the age of 30.  Anyway, the point of the story is that you will soon be able to get a decent cup of coffee Out There (http://www.outtheregame.com/classic/)!â€

“That reminds me of the iOS and Android game of the same name Professor.  Oh my goodness, you’ve done it again!â€

“Oh yes Brian, I have more segues than the good people at segwayevents.co.uk.â€

“Nice play on words too Professor!  My Mam says I’m not allowed to play with words; she says a man shouldn't mess with things that are beyond his comprehension.  I’m not sure what she means by that.â€

“In Out There (http://www.outtheregame.com/classic/) from Mi-Clos (http://www.miclos.com/), you play the part of an astronaut making the long trip from Earth to one of Jupiter’s moons, only to awake from cryonics to find that he’s no longer in our Solar System, he’s Out There!  It’s a plot reminiscent of Lost in Space, Red Dwarf, Farscape or Star Trek Voyager...â€

“Or Buck Tigers Professor.â€

“Buck Tigers Brian?  Did you write the script on your iPhone again?â€

“Ducking autocorrect Professor.â€

You are gifted the ‘Space Folder’ technology by a benevolent alien race, which allows you to travel between stars at great speeds as you begin your long voyage home.  The distant galaxy in which you find yourself is procedurally generated, so no two games will be the same, as you set off towards the mission marker.  There are three missions to complete in Out There, Red, Green and Blue, providing three different endings that unlock as you play t
