The next game from the creators of Owlboy<\/em><\/a> is as conceptually wacky as it is gorgeous. D-Pad Studio has formally announced Vikings On Trampolines<\/em>, an up-to-four-player game with co-op adventuring, battling, and boss fighting. Whatever you do, don’t stop bouncing.<\/p> The first trailer debuted today on IGN<\/a>, and there’s a website<\/a> and Steam<\/a> page, too.<\/p> <\/iframe><\/p> If this was just a competitive-minded game about knocking opponents off trampolines, I’d still be down. But seeing the king-saving story scenario play out in the trailer, I’m stoked about the wider scope. And I’m just sitting here, staring at this lush pixel art. It’s so good.<\/p> According to the team, it’s possible to play Vikings on Trampolines<\/em> with one hand. They recommend enjoying your “favorite beverage” while you play, which is sound advice.<\/p> One of the big hurdles with co-op or party games is getting everyone on the same page about the controls. Simplifying the inputs \u2014 and achieving a simple yet interesting game concept \u2014 should work wonders. I always dread having to “sell” people on the idea.<\/p>
