Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Earlier this year, the Game Boy celebrated its 25th anniversary. Indie French developer Christophe Galati is celebrating the occasion with a brand new tribute title.
Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako is a action-platformer with automatic side-scrolling and semi-procedurally generated 2D environments. There are people to save, enemies/bosses to fight, and powers to use such as the ability to spit ink and paralyze foes.
A demo can be found on the game’s IndieDB page. Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako will eventually be released on the Wii U eShop sometime after its completion.
