Launch Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBMdj691zVI

Our own Ashodin will be releasing their 1st Wii U game, psyscrolr, on April 2nd, 2015 for $3.99 in North America!

Nintendo.com Description: Link

psyscrolr is a unique platformer with Wii U™ GamePad Touch Screen elements. In this title, you will play the Scrolr, a boy who has inherited a presence from another world, which gives him psychic powers that he neither wanted nor dreamed of. In the game, you will be helped by the voice of his powers in his head, narrating what is happening as well as assisting in combat. Utilize new mechanics to pull, push, and destroy any obstacle in your way. Enjoy a hub-based layout where you can replay the levels with no penalty for death!

I still hate the name but I was 100% committed to buying this after seeing some of it months ago, and that was before the $4 price.

Any hints as to what we'll have to pay in Canadian Monopoly Money?

SalvaPot · Mar 30, 2015

Holy shit the protagonist dresses and looks like me.

I really like the effort to include touch controls with the Gamepad in mind, it seems everyone keeps forgetting about it. I'll give it a go as soon as I am back from vacation.

Reminds me of...

Converse · Mar 30, 2015

Congratulations to Ashodin. Looks rad. And the scarf has indeed reigned. Godspeed with it, hope to check it out someday.

ohlawd · Mar 30, 2015

yep I remember this. said I was in before and I won't rescind that

4 bucks tho? I'd buy two if I could

tkscz · Mar 30, 2015

I'll buy it. Support a gaffer, plus, it looks fun.

Mariolee · Mar 30, 2015

Looks great! Hope it does well enough!

steveovig · Mar 30, 2015

Looks different and I'm apprehensive about the controls but I plan on giving this a try! It does look fun.

sörine · Mar 30, 2015

Do Apexicon backers get free codes for this or did I imagine that?

threelights · Mar 30, 2015

This... looks pretty good.

I've been following a little bit from the indie thread, and I was quite interested. Nice to know it's so close to release. Congrats.

I'll be there for sure when I get a Wii U.

The only thing I dislike is the trailer =X

Because it says it's coming this fall? C'mon, give the trailer a break here.

rjc571 · Mar 30, 2015

The touch controls seem off-putting to me. Wiimote + Nunchuk controls with IR aiming would be a better fit.

That was not the reason though >.>

I just dislike it. The two tutorial thingies in the OP made me want to play the game more than the trailer. That's it...

Yeah they do, at least according to a recent update for the Apexicon Kickstarter. Thanks in advance, Ashodin!

Ashodin · Mar 30, 2015

You guys aren't ready for the release trailer. I'm releasing it wide tomorrow, and I'll be posting it here early just for GAF!

Also, there's giveaways planned as well as those who backed Apexicon get codes! Hell yeah! I'm exciteddddd

Ohh, so that was just an announcement trailer of sorts? Cool, I'm already sold, but I'll be looking forward to this next trailer then.

Yup yup, the release trailer is narrated by the game's (current) villain.

The game will be episodic, as in I will be adding content to the game after its launch for FREE.

Thanks! I'd like to thank showmeyourskeleton and foshy for the awesome soundtrack! We really nailed it.

show me your skeleton · Mar 30, 2015

THIS IS GAFFER TRIPLE THREAT:
ashodin obviously created, designed and programmed the game.
foshy wrote the majority of the music.
i wrote a few bits n' pieces.

as a long time gamer having something come out on a god damn nintendo console is crazy insane. i hope you all like it and can't wait to add more music as the game expands!

RPG_Fanatic · Mar 30, 2015

Nice. I was wondering when this game would be coming out. I already have enough credit on the e-shop, so i will be sure to pick this up once it is out.

You need an AMA here on GAF.

sixteen-bit · Mar 30, 2015

congrats on the release, gaffer

theechrisfox · Mar 30, 2015

Congrats on the release, guys. Will definitely check this out.

weekev · Mar 30, 2015

Loving the old school feel of this game, looks awesome. Is it coming out in EU at the same time?

Updated the OP with the trailer.

I love the graphics. Congrats, Ashodin.

terrisus · Mar 30, 2015

Zero² · Mar 30, 2015

Interesting! But the trailer did it no favor, dunno why.
The tutorials made me really interested tho, sounds really fun!
Can you give us a sneak peak on how varied the levels will be, and how long is the game overall?

Really had fun working on it

And we still need to put up the full soundtrack for launch!

Really is. I released my own game on Wii U last year, and still going "wow I made a Nintendo game!" I never ever once thought as a kid that I'd eventually make a game, nonetheless put it on a Nintendo system. Enjoy that awesome feeling.

Usobuko · Mar 30, 2015

Congrats, it was also wise to pick this great price.

zroid · Mar 30, 2015

day 1. can't really go wrong for $3.99 and it looks great too.

spared · Mar 30, 2015

'grats & will support!

The Boat · Mar 30, 2015

Congrats on the release, it looks great! Any plans to release it in EU?

Exile20 · Mar 30, 2015

Game looks awesome.

threelights · Mar 30, 2015

Yeah, this trailer is definitely better.

Gameplay seems to be pretty fun, I wonder what the later stages will look like.

First update will have homages to Metroid and Jobbs' Ghost Song!

Thanks for the love guys. EU release will be later as I need translations and a modified version for that.

The game itself is not super long, but there are secrets and hidden mini games! I wonder how long it will take to find it all.

schlew · Mar 30, 2015

I'm super interested. Are you all set for a release in Canada? A slight delay in the Canadian launch of another GAF made Wii U game (Pixel Paint) has me ever concerned! Don't mind waiting, just curious!

Some french translations and we'll launch there soon after.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Get a GAFfer to translate the eShop page and patch in the in-game French later! You're going to have zero visibility in the Canadian eShop launching late.

Also, I want to play this Thursday. Do it for me.

Ashodin · Mar 30, 2015

It's too late! We'll work it out

pinkurocket · Mar 30, 2015

I find the voice in the trailer difficult to understand. But I'm also not a native English speaker.
However the game looks really good! I love the main character and little details like the grass flying away. And good music!
When you ever bring it over to the EU I'll check it out.

No problem! We'll be looking to launch in other territories after this, we mainly want to get the game out and start pumping out free content!
