Our own Ashodin has put together a trailer of their newest Wii U exclusive game, psyscrolr. Take a look! This is a Nintendo Web Framework (HTML5) game btw!

"Will there be any support for us lefties?"
"YES! I'm a lefty myself, so reverse controls will be in. Use your left hand to shoot and slash!"

GIFs!

I'm SO psyched for this!

Orbis Tabula · Sep 26, 2014

Wow, this looks awesome! So I guess you use the gamepad touchscreen to do all your psychic tomfoolery while you use the d-pad to move? That's pretty neat. Smart use of the gamepad. I'll be checking this out for sure.

great OST!

zroid · Sep 26, 2014

If you'd like to hear some more, here's some of my tracks and his soundcloud!

See folks, this is why we shouldn't instantly dismiss Nintendo Web Framework,

This is why I'm excited for this game (as well as to play it anyways!). This game shows what potential great games can be made with the Wii U HTML5 engine: Nintendo Web Framework.

Just saw the trailer, looks interesting, the music especially. Will the game be released worldwide or just NA for now?

Oregano · Sep 26, 2014

Will buy if it's released in Europe!

It's a travesty that this will get less attention than crap like Meme Run and Spikey Walls.

Tregard · Sep 26, 2014

I love that title

Lijik · Sep 26, 2014

Looks neat! Will definitely pick it up when its out

Exile20 · Sep 26, 2014

I like the concept. Looks nice also.

I'm doing my best to spread this around.

We all should do our best to get the word out about great potential games like this and stop giving attention to crap like Meme Run.

Bomber Bob · Sep 26, 2014

Congratz Ashodin!

rjc571 · Sep 26, 2014

Please put in Wiimote + Nunchuk support. I'd much rather play this with pointer controls than touchscreen.

Dascu · Sep 26, 2014

It's been pleasant to see this shape up in the indie dev thread.

ryseing · Sep 26, 2014

These guys are from Burlington? Awesome! Love to see more NC based devs.

protomouse · Sep 26, 2014

Nice! Soundtrack is kicking it. Europe too?

frankie_baby · Sep 26, 2014

Looks great, shall definitely purchase

Html????? I'm bloody impressed

Hero of Legend · Sep 26, 2014

Admiral, there be wolves HERE!

LOCK · Sep 26, 2014

Looks interesting, and I like that you use the Gamepad.

megabytecr · Sep 26, 2014

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Ludist210 · Sep 26, 2014

I just watched the trailer, and I'm sold. Looks excellent!

Jakoo · Sep 26, 2014

Coming this Fall...so in a couple months? Quick turnaround!

Ashodin · Sep 26, 2014

Hey guys thanks for the love! I'll answer any questions here.

Yep, the "other buttons" you use in your right hand is the GamePad screen itself. I play with my finger above the GamePad and the stick in my left. Feels very natural.

I'll be trying to get it released everywhere for sure!

Will try to release there as well!

I'll be looking into this, but for now the GamePad is all I'm programming for atm.

LOCK said:

I think more indie games (and games in general) on the Wii U need to use the GamePad to really sell the thing.

Jakoo said:

We've been working on the game for a while, and it's just me doing all the scripting, programming, etc. I am lucky to work with some talented artists and composers!

DooD1234 · Sep 26, 2014

Nintendo what are you doing letting Indies release garbage like this game? I know you're desperate for games but geez have some dignity

/joking lol

Ashodin · Sep 26, 2014

Just realized my trailer is now featured on the Wii U Page of GameTrailers. Awesome!

Ashodin · Sep 26, 2014

Also a heads up, I'll be throwing out a video next week overviewing the first Stage. I'm planning on doing these every week.

Until then, have more GIIIIIIIFS

Yeah, same here.
Gameplay looks easy enough to make it work with Wii Remote + Nunchuk.
Hopefully Ashodin can get it done before launch.

SwiftDeath · Sep 29, 2014

This looks fantastic

I'll look into it, but I can't promise anything!

Ashodin · Oct 2, 2014

Last week I showed off some unique dragging and double-tapping block mechanics!

I have made the blocks smaller and added ZOOM effects to the blocks!

That's nothing! Look forward to the first in my Tutorial series explaining the game and mechanics later this week!

Also keep this as your next keyword "moon rover".

Theres gotta be a better name for this, it looks great tho.

Hahaha well I love puns, and psyscrolr is a pun on "side scroller" using the norse method of naming things "olr" with the umlaut.

it's very easy to say as well. Sai - Scroller.

And thanks! More to come as I lead up to launch.

Ashodin · Oct 3, 2014

We posted a video showing how you'll use the GamePad to play the game.

It's our first in our "SageScrolr" series.

Thanks for watching!

scitek · Oct 3, 2014

Looks very cool. I look forward to playing it!

Ashodin · Oct 3, 2014

Thanks! Next Friday we'll be showing off a video of some enemies in the game.

Ashodin · Oct 10, 2014

That next video is here! Get a load of some of the enemies in the game!

Mr-Joker · Oct 10, 2014

Looks cool, I also like it that you gave the guy a red scarf, scarves are cool and heroic. I also get a Doctor Who vibe from this, mostly the 11th Doctor.

But either way I can't wait to play this when it gets a European release.

I was gonna say the same! The character reminds me of Matt Smith. Definitely interested.
