Do not be alarmed, AppSpies, the world isn't about to be taken over by steam-powered robots - more's the pity. In fact, Steam Powered Giraffe is a band who masquerade as robots and they've written the soundtrack to Image & Form's upcoming sequel to SteamWorld DigSteamWorld Heist - which is confirmed to be headed to mobiles and tablets.

That means all the songs and in-game music you hear will be written by them. They even feature in the game as a troupe that protagonist robot Captain Piper will encounter in bars when recruiting steampunk-y fighters - the likeness is pretty uncanny.

SteamWorld Heist is a sequel to SteamWorld Dig due out in spring 2015, and in it you'll be recruiting a team of, essentially, pirate robots in order to scavenge from the land of a destroyed steampunk-inspired world. You'll be boarding enemy ships and fighting in turn-based combat as well, huzzah!

Check out the music video below for 'Prepare for Boarding', one of Steam Powered Giraffe's in-game songs, featuring the band in both of their robotic forms.
