A BOY AND HIS BLOB DEVS UNVEIL DSI DOWNLOADABLE DEBUT MIGHTY FLIP CHAMPS
WayForward, the company behind Majesco’s Wii rehaul of A Boy and His Blob, are moving from strength to strength in recent days. Fresh off that announcement, the company has also given IGN the exclusive on its first downloadable DS game for the upcoming DSiWare service with Mighty Flip Champs.
IGN’s preview is a bit light on details, but from the screens above you can surmise that its puzzling mechanical hook is main character Alta’s ability to flip rooms displayed on upper and lower screens of the DS in order to move forward to the goal.
The game looks like classic WayForward stuff, particularly in the sense that I’m getting heavy vibes of the studio’s vastly overlooked 2001 Game Boy Color game Wendy: Every Witch Way, a game was sold as a licensed product based on Harvey Comics star — and friend of Casper the Friendly Ghost — Wendy the Good Little Witch.
The license was probably the primary reason it flew straight past the core audience that would have appreciated it, but underneath the product placement was a very clever puzzle/platformer revolving around Wendy’s ability to flip gravity and walk on ceilings to get past obstacles, in what looks on the surface like a similar manner to Mighty Flip. I’m coming up with a grand total of zero YouTube videos to illustrate, but you can see about six seconds of the game (dig that animation!) in this longer GBC clip.
