Let's Try HoPiKo - Super Saiyan Sprite Heroes!
The awesome people at Merge Games & Laser Dog gave me a key to try out their game. The bit I read on it described HoPiKo as a fast-paced platformer.. I soon find out that that's not exactly the case! Sure you move from platform to platform but you certainly don't run and jump in the traditional way!
HoPiKo uses unique and unorthodox controls to manoeuvre your diminutive hero through each 5-stage stretch. If you mess up (IE die) once then you're back to the start of that chapter!

"A virus, known as the Nanobyte has infected hardware around the globe rendering all systems useless - gaming is dead. The HoPiKo, who ran the games, have been enslaved... It’s time to hook up your power gloves and save your HoPiKo brothers!
HoPiKo is an intense speed run platformer where you get to save gaming. Jump from platform to platform avoiding death, exploiting shortcuts and ripping through 100s of hand-crafted levels, each one dropped into a 5-stage mini run designed to break your mind!
Compete to be the fastest in the world with time based scores, level pars and collectable retro consoles opening unique bonus runs."
