After asking their legions of fans to help them raise $425,000 for Con Man, a humorous web series loosely-based on their lives after the much-beloved Firefly was cancelled, Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion's Indiegogo campaign received a jaw-dropping $3.2 million. Being the all-time highest crowdfunded web series in history, they were able to use those funds to produce the first season of Con Man, a Spectrum comic book, and a mobile game inspired by the hit Comic-Con HQ show.

A trailer for Con Man: The Game, which was developed by Frima and executive producer PJ Haarsma and launched today on iTunes and Google Play, has been released (via Entertainment Weekly) today. The game allows players to build and host the greatest comic book convention in the history of the world.

"Have you ever tried to run your own comic book convention?" asks the game's official description. "We'll, it's not easy. There are toilets to clean, garbage cans to empty and naked grannies running loose who need to be covered up. Join Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion and friends as they help you reach for the greatest con ever: Shock-A-Con! But watch out for the aliens of cancelled-to-soon sci-fi show, Spectrum as they try and destroy what you've built. Based on their hit show, Con Man - now airing on Comic Con HQ, the game brings together the cast of season 1 while you take on the role of Convention Manager. Good luck!"

"I'm addicted. I should be clear, to Con Man: The Game," said Alan Tudyk. "We've been working on this since the crowdfunding campaign. I'm so glad we can finally share it with everyone."

"I think I should get a special code that gets Nathan Fillion to my Convention for free, anytime I want." said Nathan Fillion.

"We created a funny and challenging game that fits well with the show. I'm very proud of it." said PJ Haarsma.

Con Man: The Game is available for free at the iPhone App Store and Google Play.

A lighthearted take on the personalities, luminaries, comic book stores, and characters Alan and Nathan have run into during their years in the sci-fi community and convention circuit, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans. CON MAN centers around the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Tudyk), the pilot and co-star of SPECTRUM, a sci-fi series which was cancelled before it's time and eventually became a cult classic beloved by fans. Wray's good friend, Jack Moore (Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray continued to struggle to find his big break. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will explore all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.

Season 1 of Con Man is currently available on Comic-Con HQ, and Season 2 arrives this November.
