Spheroid Releases on Wii U
January 5th, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Spheroids, the new project from Eclipse Games, released on
January the 5th on Wii U.
Do you remember Pang! (or Buster Bros.) from the old arcade
days? We certainly have fond memories from those days and that
game. Didn't you ever wished someone mixed that game with proper
platforming mechanics? No? Odd, we do! We probably should say we
did, since we decided to take the matter into our own hands and
build a game with that premise. The result: Spheroids.
In Spheroids you take control of Lucas, a jumpy Canadian boy who
sets out on an adventure with his crazy scientist companion Otto
after it's discovered that the government has been hiding
alternative universes from the cubic world they live in.
Unfortunately, these alternative universes contain spheres that
wish to turn everything round, so it's up to Lucas to save the
world from these dangerous aliens: the Spheroids!
The game has a release date of January the 5th 2017 for Wii U,
January the 10th for PS4 and PSVita (cross-buy) and January the
20th for Xbox One and Win10 (Xbox Play Anywhere). We're also
planning a 3DS release at some point later in the year and
Spheroids is currently on Steam greenlight.
Features:
• Platformer with unique gameplay mechanics
• Story mode comprising of 32 levels in 8 different locations
• Great variety of enemies and gadgets to use against them
• Unique art-style that mixes pixel art with vector graphics
• Original soundtrack adapted to the 8 different locations in
the game
