Forums - Nintendo - FYI: Ballpoint Universe hits WiiU EShop this week

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrUjLF-JL4Y

 

I'm sure I've embedded incorrectly, but just reminding everyone that one of the most unique indie games I've seen in a long while is arriving to Nintendo's downloadable service this week.  I have no idea what the price point will be, but I'm expecting something between 9.99-12.99.

 

Edit: This title will sell for $4.99.

The title features graphics reminescent of what we used to doodle on our Trapper Keeper binders in the 80's.  Crazy to see those kinds of imaginings appearing now in a playable form.

Is this game on anyone else's radar?  Have any intentions of picking up the title? Thoughts?

Thanks for the embed, spurgeonryan...and I understand that it won't be many people's cup of tea. Hopefully it stirs some to open their wallets as I'd love to see a few more games in this style.



Platformer, shooter.

It began as a shooter...but after his kickstarter was so successful he beefed up the game to add more depth. There's also a scene that you don't see in this trailer where the character walks straight into the background so there will be multiple viewing levels as well.



Shameless self-bump



Pretty cool, more games the better

Added an edit to the OP...but thought I'd make a post for it as well, considering this is my one-man campaign to get this title some love.

Ballpoint Universe will sell for $4.99! Not too bad for an indie title. Was expecting at least $9.99. Hopefully this low price point isn't because there isn't that much content to the game.
