Aaru's Awakening propels its soul to PS3, PS4 this summer
Can you fling your soul at out-of-reach spaces and then use it as a teleportation anchor? Yeah, we haven't quite mastered the technique yet either, but PS3 and PS4 owners will soon be able to live vicariously through an ape-ish creature that's got it down pat in Aaru's Awakening. Developer Lumenox Games' post on the PlayStation Blog states the puzzling platformer is set to pop into view on Sony's consoles sometime this summer. If you'd prefer to take this sort of experience on the go, Lumenox Games' Johann Ingi Gudjonsson stated that the team "doesn't see a reason not to port it over" when he responded to a reader's question about the potential for a Vita port. Aaru's Awakening started as a school project for the University of Reykjavík and was greenlit on Steam in April, with plans to launch for PC, Mac and Linux. [Image: Lumenox Games]
Indie teleportation platformer Aaru's Awakening beams down a demo
Lumenox Games, an indie studio hailing from Iceland, has issued a free demo for Aaru's Awakening, its upcoming hand-drawn teleportation-based platformer. The story of Aaru's Awakening centers around Aaru, a gorilla-like creature who is on a quest to destroy an evil entity. Players must navigate through the world of Lumenox, which is comprised of Dawn, Day, Dusk and Night, in search of this evil force. Aaru's Awakening launches early next year for the PC and Mac, and is currently seeking votes through Steam Greenlight. You can pre-order the game now for $15.
