The trailer for Alientrap Software ‘s physics-based action-shooter Capsized has been making the rounds for about a week now. I’d made a mental note to post it already, but I got distracted by something shiny. Seeing it resurface on TIGSource reminded me of how fun it looks, and since pretty 2D shooters never go out of style, I don’t mind posting what some might consider to be “old news.” If it’s new to you, enjoy.
Capsized is the newest effort from indie developer Alientrap, previously known for Nexuiz
“The new trailer shows off the fast physics based gameplay of the platformer, along with it’s stylized art and unique setting. The game will focus on fast-paced action along with physics-based puzzles, as the player attempts to exit the strange alien planet.
While, mechanically, Capsized has only the most tenuous link to Nathan Fouts’ own indie shooter Grapple Buggy Capsized ‘s palette is more subdued compared to Grapple Buggy ‘s lush and vibrant landscapes, both games suggest that the planets on which they take place on are actually alive as you navigate through alien flora and fauna. Compared to the dark, remote isolation of games like Metroid , it’s a different feel altogether.
In any case, according to Capsized ‘s official site
