Freedom Planet coming to Wii U eShop

GalaxyTrail is bringing Freedom Planet, its Sonic the Hedgehog-inspired combat-based platform adventure game for PC, to the Wii U eShop, the developer announced at PAX East.

Here’s a full rundown of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Freedom Planet is a combat-based platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against an alien attack force. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects to giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but you’ll have a variety of special fighting abilities to blast your way through each stage.

As Lilac, you can use Dragon powers to whip enemies with your hair, spin like a cyclone, or fly through the air at high speed like a comet.
As Carol, you can bust through foes with a flurry of punches and kicks or summon motorcycles that let you ride up walls and ceilings.
