We *really* liked Runbow back at PAX East earlier this year, and welcomed its addition to the Nindies@Home eShop initiative. The crazy and colorful 9-player running/fighting hybrid game looks to be full of charm. Plus, the ability to do some lite customization for the chosen characters was a nice touch.
Developer 13AM Games is fully embracing the quirky nature of its game, and its position in Nintendo’s lineup, by diving headlong into the console’s growing indie world. It’s gone from just being their little party game to being a sort of All-Star experience, representing the whole of the scene. Just revealed is the inclusion of several heroes from other popular Nindie games. Joining the previously announced CommanderVideo, Scram Kitty and Shovel Knight as playable characters are: Max (Mutant Mudds), Xeodrifter (Xeodrifter), Drifter (Hyper Light Drifter… no relation to Xeodifter’s Xeodrifter), Princess (Chariot), Gunvolt (Azure Striker Gunvolt), Unity Chan (Japan’s Unity mascot thing), Clone (Stealth Inc), Arid (The Fall) and Teslamancer (Teslagrad).
The game itself will have several modes, both competitive and even single-player, and will release later this month. Hopefully more characters get announced soon.
So hype!
