The Chase captured on video

Earlier this week, Atari unveiled their supremely bizarre The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity, a very cute romantic comedy platform action game. Now we can see it in motion, thanks to the debut trailer, which shows a fairly frenetic combination of traditional run-and-jump gameplay (which recalls early Sonic more than anything else), Kirby: Canvas Curse-style path scribbling, and even stretchy grappling hooks like the one found in Umihara Kawase.All of this maneuvering is performed by two characters rushing to meet on time and avoid a giant storm that appears as a constantly-pushing wall of water. A grappling-based platformer with an off-kilter premise? Atari is doing their best to court the elusive "people writing this post" segment of the market.
