Moon Spider Studio has announced the development of a new “unique platformer racing puzzle game” for consoles and PC (presumably via digital download).
The first game from the Flroida-based studio, Harold puts players in the role of a “guardian angel” tasked with guiding Harold through a series of “increasingly complicated courses,” running, jumping, and sliding his way across each. The player must manipulate the environment around Harold in order to open different paths and give his race greater advantage, as well as sabotage the course for Harold’s opponents.
“We have a fantastic team here at Moon Spider Studio and all I want to do is make good games,” said Loris Malek, President of the Moon Spider Studio. “We’ve assembled some of the most talented artists, designers and programmers from inside and outside of the video game industry, each with incredible pedigrees. We’ve been working on Harold for a while now and we can’t wait to finally show our creation to the world.”
Moon Spider’s creative talent have backgrounds in animated films such as The Iron Giant, Aladdin, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Princess Mononoke, which has helped Harold become “one of the most visually stunning video games ever created,” according to the developer.
Harold will launch in 2013. If you’ll be at PAX prime next weekend, the game will make its public debut at booth #129. View the first set of screenshots at the gallery. Watch the first gameplay video below.
