Pitfall Planet Out Now On Steam
/Bonfire Games, the winner of the 2015 Level Up competition, have released their co-op platformer Pitfall Planet. You play as two recently stranded astrobots who must traverse an unknown planet to get back to their ship.
Emma reached out to me on email and let me know a little bit about the history of Pitfall Planet:
It began as a collaboration between a small group of students from the University of Toronto and OCADU. After our success at Level Up Student Showcase we decided to turn it into a complete game and went on to receive an IGF nomination for Best Student Game.
Inspired by games like Toad Treasure Tracker, Little Big Planet, and Portal 2, Pitfall Planet combines co-operative puzzle solving with action and mischief. Two little astronauts set out on an adventure that brings them deep into the caverns of the planet, solving puzzles and collecting ore using their trusty grappling hooks.
Congrats to the team at Pitfall Planet on the release, and make sure to follow the gang over on Twitter, and pick up the game on Steam. If you're keeping up with past Level Up winners, reminder that OddBird Studios won this years.
