Whether due to nostalgia or small budgets, many of the most well-known indie titles are 2D throwbacks, from Super Meat Boy to Cave Story. One title in particular that stood out was Frozenbyte’s platformer/puzzler Trine; rather than revert to 8-bit inspired nostalgia, Trine instead took a unique spin on a familiar perspective, allowing players to instantly switch between three characters, each possessing a unique ability that was required to advance to the goal in each area. It was a quirky title with an intriguing mechanic, and in this industry that’s all that’s needed for a sequel. Well, that and a publisher willing to fork over the cash.
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."
"Developer Frozenbyte has rolled out for its hit game, Trine 2. The PlayStation patch is now available for download for both US and EU gamers, so if your PS4 doesn’t automatically download patches, better head on over and flick that switch on."
