Icy Wind Games, a two-man indie developer from Sweden, is developing its first game titled “Heroes, Help!” for the Wii U eShop.

Heroes, Help! is an action-adventure experience that has players setting off on an adventure with three friends to save the princess following her capture. They’ll be gathering gold to purchase new weapons and equipment, discovering secret areas and hidden treasures, defeating bosses, and obtaining clues to find the princess’ location.

In terms of features, Heroes, Help! will offer four-player co-op, over ten levels, player customization for weapons and equipment, achievements, and support for various controllers. The game will run at 60 frames-per-second, and the team is targeting 1080p resolution.

Heroes, Help! will launch in Q1 2016. A few screenshots are in the gallery.

The latest Iwata Asks focusing on Splatoon has all sorts of interesting details about the game’s development. Additionally, the team even shared a few prototype designs from the project. You can find those images below, plus plenty of tidbits about how Splatoon came together. Did you know that it was only 10 percent complete at E3 2014?

Part 1

– The reaction to Splatoon at last year’s E3 was better than expected
– Amano made the announcement trailer
– This is different than usual since trailers tend to be made by an outside agency
– Splatoon began after Nogami finished working on Wii U’s launch; he worked on the system’s menu
– Nogami gathered the Wii U launch team members about creating “a new kind of game, without worrying about trying to fit into existing game genres”
– The team got together practically every day and brainstormed potential ideas
– There were over 75 ideas shared in about 6 months
– The last new character from EAD was 14 years ago (Pikmin)
– The team wasn’t trying to create a new character, but instead a new game structure

– Program director Sato made a demo, which had a white cube in a maze (tofu)
– In the demo, blocks shaped like tofu could shoot ink and steal each other’s turf
