The Behemoth team, who you may remember from the excellent Castle Crashers and Alien Homid, have released a trailer of their latest project. The game is currently in the early development stage, so don't expect to learn much from the trailer above. It does show off some very lovely gameplay, but you'll still be left with a sense of not knowing all that much about the game you just saw.
From what I can gather it's going to be a platformer (duh!) and will, as usual, be heavily multiplayer orientated. Finally we won't be playing it until sometime next year.
Anoop Gantayat got a look at the game at the Tokyo International Anime Fair and posted a few impressions over on his blog. Apparently everything that has been shown so far is for 'sample purposes' only to judge how the audience will react. Anoop also detailed four mini-games that were accessible in the demo.
- Block painting game: As players run around the play field, they turn any blocks that they touch to their own color. The goal is to do this for more blocks than your rival. You don't have to do anything to the blocks to change their color -- just walk over them or bump into them from the side or below.
- Soccer game: Players attempt to knock a soccer ball into a goal. This is done by simply bumping into the ball or punching it.
- Gold collecting game: There's a giant goldfish floating about the stage. When struck, it releases gold. The goal is to collect as much of the gold as possible.
- Soul collecting game: In this mini game, when an enemy is defeated, his soul floats away. Collect an opponent's soul and you get big points. If you lose your soul, you can chase after it once you've respawned, assuming it hasn't already been taken. - Andriasang.com
