The Story Of Doodle Jump: Brotherly Love And Digital Snacks ScaryGirl, a few-years-old flash platformer based on Nathan Jurevicius’s graphic novel, has been released on Xbox Live Arcade, with a PSN release scheduled for next week and a “coming soon” release date for PC.
What if I told you Square Enix and Tik games were coming out with a game based on the celebrated and psychedelic characters of Nathan Jurevicious next week? What if I told you I’ve played it and it was a ton of fun? What if I told you it reminded me of one of my favourite PS1 platformers of all time? Would you be as curious as I am as to why nobody has been talking about this game? Of course you possibly might!
Borne out of mishmash of Eastern European fairytales, pop art and fatherhood, Nathan Jurevicius’ Scarygirl‘s one of those indie art success stories that manages to warm the coldest of hearts.
If you’re in Melbourne tomorrow night, you can meet the developers of the excellent Scarygirl game.
Scarygirl is a game that… well, it’s hard to describe. It’s an adventure game, it’s a puzzle game, it’s a platformer. It’s also completely free to play. Oh, and it’s wonderful.
Scarygirl is a Flash 9 game – specifically a platformer – being developed by Touch My Pixel. The studio is based in Collingwood, Victoria, a suburb well-known for its frightening little ladies… or so I imagine, judging by this clip.
It looks like Grim Fandango mixed with Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros. At least, that’s what I think it is. The developer says it’ll be good for 1-2 hours of gaming when it’s done.
