Ratalaika Games is bringing its indie game “Guardians of the Forest” to Wii U, and it could land on 3DS as well.

Guardians of the Forest is a multiplayer brawler that takes place in a mystical woods. Players beat enemies by jumping on their heads. Different weapons and power-ups will mix things up by introducing unique ways to enhance abilities and receive protection from attacks.

In an interview with HackInformer, Ratalaika Games discussed how Guardians of the Forest will play on Wii U:

Well, for the Wii U controller we have several plans. We didn’t want to just throw the game on the Wii U controller screen like you will be playing on the TV. So we will probably add the current game scores and some handy buttons when on the menu. Even though we will allow the player to see the game on their controller like on TV if he or she wants to.

Ratalaika has also expressed interest in making a 3DS version of Guardians of the Forest, but nothing is confirmed at this time. You can check out some alpha gameplay below.

Yooka-Laylee is closing it at nearly $1.9 million on Kickstarter. 44 days remain before the Kickstarter campaign ends, so there’s plenty of time for additional stretch goals. The latest one, coming in at £1.5 million, will allow for an orchestral score.
