Impulse has slashed $15 off of Frozenbyte's acclaimed puzzle platformer Trine, taking the title down to just $5 as part of the distributor's weekend deal promotion.
Poor reception hasn't killed this series. A document released this week by the EU Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), confirming projects it plans to help fund in 2018, has revealed that a number of indie studios are working on new games.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Pulkkinen is a relatively new face in the video game industry. Thus far he has worked exclusively on games developed by Finnish game studios, but I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in the near future his music begins to attract attention from elsewhere as well. Given that he is only 34 years old he likely has many more years ahead of him in the video game industry."
"One of the oldest and most integral genres in video gaming is platforming. In the simplest idea, these games involve progressing an avatar through a series of obstacles by jumping from one platform to another. Originating back in the 1980s, platformers are not a pure genre; there is a tendency for other game types to mix in with platforming. For example, Contra gave rise to “run and gun” games; these are a cross of platforming and shooters."-- PlayStation Enthusiast
I picked this up on PSN when it was $10, and it's a really good little game. It's worth the normal price, but for $5 this becomes almost a must-play title, imho.
I've been thinking about getting it. Wanted it for the PS3, but can't pass it up for $5.
I think it's better for PS3 (you have the 3-player coop), but it's a must play on any system.
