Ratalaika Games has announced yet another game for Wii U and 3DS. At some point in the future, Defend Your Crypt will be coming to the two platforms as an eShop title.

Defend Your Crypt is a puzzle-strategy game where players take control of a pharaoh to
protect his gold from grave robbers. They’ll need to use a variety of traps in order to take down enemies and avoid being robbed. Players can look forward to an Egyptian-inspired, retro pixel art style.

Here’s a rundown of features:

– Trap variety: The game will contain classic traps such as open platforms, which can make robbers
fall onto spikes, and also water traps or killer scorpions and beetles.
– Levels: A large number of levels to make sure the robbers will not steal any of your gold, and you
enjoy the game to the fullest. A lot of time can be spent on finishing all of them!
– Robbers with feelings: No robbers are heartless. Throughout the game, players will see robbers
in different moods, and they will also interact with each other a little bit. Seeing a hallway full of
blood could make a robber sad and break his heart.

At the moment, while Defend Your Crypt remains in development, any sort of release timeframe has not been announced.

PixlCross is coming to the North American Wii U eShop next week. It’s planned for PAL regions as well, but it’ll be another couple of months before it arrives. Developer Nick DiMola told 4colorrebellion that it’s targeted for mid-May in Europe and Australia.

DiMola also commented on the possibility of a 3DS port. Here’s what he said on that front:

“So the sticky situation with this is that we’ve built PixlCross on top of the Nintendo Web Framework. Unfortunately, that makes porting it to other console platforms a bit tough. Natively, the game runs in a browser, so it’s easy to port to PC/Mac/Linux. If we start talking about the 3DS, it means rewriting the game in native code, which is not something that’s currently within my capabilities.

The New 3DS would be a more likely target for us, but it still means a total rewrite in Unity. Unity would also give us the flexibility to bring the game to other platforms like the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. All of that’s a longwinded way of saying, we’re thinking about it. If we do pretty decently on the Wii U, it’ll make the rewrite in Unity seem much more appealing!”
