Project Exonaut

Cartoon Network Universe : Project Exonaut was an MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) consisting of Cartoon Network characters which launched its beta on April 25, 2011, and closed down in late 2014. In the game, there are various mechanical battlesuits known as Exosuits based all on Cartoon Network characters from various shows including: Ben 10: Alien Force, Sym-Bionic Titan, Johnny Test, The Powerpuff Girls, and The Amazing World of Gumball. A few of the Exosuits are based off the main characters from their show (IE: Dexter, Grim, Chowder). The rest are original suits in the game.

Open Beta and Early Release
On April 25, 2011, Project Exonaut launched into open beta. There was an active playerbase at this time, and many balance patches were released leading up to the first big update.

On June 13, 2011, a Johnny Test-themed update was released. This added the Johnny Test and Bling Bling Boy exosuits, along with the Bling Bling Island map.

On September 26, 2011, a large update was released. This concluded the beta phase, increased the Level cap to 50, added in 8 new exosuits (including Gumball and Darwin), and 1 new map, Battlescape Alpha.

On October 7, 2011, a player reached Level 50 and became an Elite Exonaut for the first time. Their username was "Savage Henry Taco".

October 2011 - July 2012
The first holiday-themed event, Halloween Slam, started on October 17, 2011.

This event ended on October 31, 2011.

The second holiday-themed event, Holiday Bash, started on December 12, 2011. This changed up how the Lobby looked, boosted XP by 4X, unlocked all Adventure Time exosuits for all players, and replaced the Helix Grenades with Snowballs temporarily. This event ended on January 9, 2012.
