Skylanders has continued to perform well since the original game – Spyro’s Adventure – launched in 2011. Activision confirmed in its financial results today that more than 240 million toys have been sold.

OXiAB Game Studio is working on a new indie effort for Wii U titled “Canvaleon”. The project is a stealth-platformer in which players use the environment and skills to deal with enemies and threats.

“Camouflages” is the big concept here. This function lets players mimic elements of scenery to hide from enemies. The higher your “Camo Percentage”, the lesser chance there is that enemies will detect you. Camouflages can be obtained at a store or by painting them with a paint tool. Both require the color butterflies collectible.

Screenshots plus a story over for Canvaleon are posted below.
