PSA: Tiny Brains out now on Steam, 30 percent off until December 18 [Update]
Spearhead Games' Tiny Brains is now available on Steam for PC. The co-op action puzzler is 30 percent off until December 18 ($13.99). Those looking to take advantage of the "cooperative" part of the game may want to pick up the Tiny Brains 2 Pack for $24.99, granting them an extra copy to give to a friend. Our review of the game found it "accessible and adorably illustrated," though its puzzles seemed increasingly repetitive and predictable as the game wore on. Tiny Brains already made an appearance on PSN for both PS3 and PS4 last week. Update: As a clarification, Tiny Brains only launched on PS4 last week, but it will arrive on PS3 early next year.
Action puzzler Tiny Brains settles on a Nov. 26 PS4 launch date
Tiny Brains, the multiplayer puzzler from former Ubisoft developers at Spearhead Games, will come to PS4 on November 26. Tiny Brains has been on a rodent-sized roller coaster over the past few weeks: First it wasn't included in the PS4 launch lineup announced on October 30, then it was added, and then it was removed on November 6. It's OK though – we spent some time with Tiny Brains at E3 and we're pretty sure its super-powered mouse, rabbit, gerbil and naked mole rat can handle a few extra bumps. Tiny Brains should hit PS3 and PC in early December, and it's not in development for Xbox 360, publisher 505 Games told Polygon.
Tiny Brains mixes Pinky and the Brain with Quantum Conundrum on Nov. 15
Spearhead Games' action puzzler Tiny Brains will be a PS4 launch title, 505 Games has announced. The game will simultaneously launch November 15 on PS4, PS3 and PC, though the publisher didn't mention a release date for Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions. Tiny Brains has players controlling one of four super-charged rodents: a mouse, gerbil, rabbit and not-quite-naked mole rat, solving puzzles with friends to escape a mad scientist's experiments. The co-op campaign features drop-in, drop-out multiplayer and the game includes competitive and challenge modes. In our time with Tiny Brains at E3, we likened it to Pinky and the Brain in Quantum Conundrum's world.
Tiny Brains coming to next-gen platforms after launch in fall
Tiny Brains, the co-op puzzle game starring a team of tiny, scientifically enhanced animals, will make its way to next-gen consoles following a launch on PC and current-gen systems this fall. Tiny Brains comes from Spearhead Games, a Montreal studio founded by Assassin's Creed 3 Design Director Simon Darveau, Dead Space 3 Game Designer Malik Boukhira and Army of Two Development Director Atul Mehra. The animals in Tiny Brains each have unique powers – Create, Vortex, Teleport and Force – and must work together to escape the lab. Tiny Brains will be at E3, following a showing at PAX East earlier this year.
