Indie developer Matthias Falk is working on a new platform game that blends 2D and 3D gameplay.
Super Axe Boy is a "love letter to platform games," with Falk seeking €25,000 in funding through a month long Kickstarter campaign.The project, on the way to Mac/Windows/Linux with stretch goals for Wii U, Xbox One and PS4, is described as an "old-school challenging platform fun mixed with modern sleek game design."
Falk likens the game to the frantic feeling of vintage Mario or Mega Man, but with the exploration and cinematic conventions from more modern titles. To balance these distinct flavours, however, the game will switch out from the two styles in sections throughout the levels.
