Use your spaced out inventory of gadgets & acrobatic skills to loot the precious treasures of "New Horizons" and solve the mysteries of a universe that has come apart at the seams...

Spline-surfing & grappling hook goodness inside...

Posted by Frie on Dec 19th, 2011

Annha's acrobatic skills aren't just background story (an explanation for why she can operate a ship all by herself), her skills are also meant to show through gameplay. The combination of items and abilities will allow players to move through levels without barely ever touching the ground and reach distant places. I captured a quick video of me demonstrating the "spline surfing" ability and revamped grappling hook. As you can see we added a few *ahem* cables in Hubville which let you travel quickly from one place to the other. :) I'll just stop here and let you watch the video yourself. In case anybody wonders I used keyboard and mouse in this playsession. NOTE: this is WORK IN PROGRESS i.e. sounds are missing, animations are not final etc.


Looks fun? Comments appreciated and don't vorget to vote!
