 Freedom Planet was first released as a demo for Microsoft Windows in August 2012 . After a full version of the game was funded through Kickstarter , it was taken to Steam Greenlight and approved for Steam . Its release was first projected for early 2014 , then delayed to June 30 . Shortly before that date , it was delayed again to July 19 : the developers wanted to promote the game at a convention in Miami , Florida , and to avoid competition from the heavily discounted products in Steam 's Summer Sale . The game was released , after a third delay , on July 21 . To advertise the game , GalaxyTrail created branded T @-@ shirts , and Lilac was included as an easter egg in the 2013 game Sonic : After the Sequel . DiDuro considered and rejected the idea of developing an Android version of Freedom Planet , but he is saving money to port the game to the PlayStation Vita . The game was released on the website GOG.com in late 2014 . GalaxyTrail also developed versions for Mac OS X and Linux , which were released on Steam on April 17 , 2015 .
