SnowHydra is working on a new project for the Wii U eShop titled “Zarvot”. The game is a voxelike multiplayer arena with plenty of different features including co-op and Tug mode. When playing alone, you can take on waves of AI enemies. Custom levels are also supported.
Zarvot will be available before the end of this year. View a trailer above.
