Capsized Turns Over A Classic Old Game

Kotaku AU

Indie developers Alientrap have just announced Capsized, a sprawling 2D platformer full of shooting and physics-based environmental puzzles, scheduled for release on Steam and Xbox Live Arcade next year. It reminds me of something. But what?

Can you guess which classic old game it reminds me of?

And, in light of this afternoon’s discussion of 2D gaming, would you pay full price for this type of gaming experience?

    Looks like ‘Abuse’ but with a jetpack.

      If they made a fully HD version of Abuse then: YES. :)

    Reminds me of a modern day remake of Exile, which is an entirely awesome thing.

      Exile is still an entirely awesome thing.
