Indie developer 4 Corner Games has announced I’ve Got To Run for the Wii U eShop.

I’ve Got To Run is a 2D platformer with procedurally generated endless runner elements. Players control Roy the Marshmellow Boy in three different modes: Endless Classic, Endless Double, and Endless Special.

The first, Endless Classic, is your typical one-jump experience. Endless Double features a double jump, while Endless Special contains speed up and speed down power-ups.

All three modes ensure that there are no impossible jumps. It only takes a fraction of a second if you do fail, however.

Aside from I’ve Got to Run’s three modes, there’s also Miiverse support to track high scores and an in-game page made for posting to the community so you can compare with other players. 60 frames per second is supported on the TV and GamePad.

I’ve Got To Run will be available in North America in Q2 for $1.99. A European release is also a possibility, though no specific plans have been announced for the continent.

Yacht Club Games is delaying Shovel Knight by “a few weeks”. In a Kickstarter update, the studio stressed that it’s not “a major delay”, nor is it “a long one”. Rather, “it’s simply a stretch of time to get everything polished and aligned.”

Yacht Club wrote in a Kickstarter update:

So, we hemmed and hawed, and made a Super Important Executive Decision. This update is to let everyone know that Shovel Knight will be missing March 31 by a few weeks to make sure it’s a world class experience, and can release on all platforms simultaneously. This isn’t a major delay, or a long one; it’s simply a stretch of time to get everything polished and aligned. While major development is quickly drawing to a close, there are still some external factors, like submission preparation, which need a little bit more breathing room before the game goes live.

A new release date hasn’t been determined as of now. However, fans can expect news “soon.”

Here’s a roundup of what Yacht Club is currently working on:

• Dialogue and scripted events are being finalized
• Finishing touches put on level design for the final levels
• Overall game balancing
• Platform specific standards so everything runs smoothly on your system of choice!
• Testing, testing, testing… on all platforms!
