Romain Claude, former game designer at Ubisoft Montpellier for titles Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends, today announced Splasher , new title for Xbox One in development by the guys at Splashteam.

Splasher is a frantic 2D platformer in which you play the role of a purple-haired guy who rebels to heads of a major factory paint, the INKORP. Armed with your trusty Cannon sparavernice , you'll have to face the many dangers of INKORP to save your friends from a terrible fate.

In fact, you will shoot liquid Splasher everywhere thanks to your cannon:

The water allows primary actions, how to activate mechanisms through tiny treadmills, damaging enemies and also collect "coins" cleaning up the dirt. The coins are important for freeing the Splasher of gold at the end of each level.

The ink sticky lets stick to surfaces, so they climb the walls and proceed along the ceilings. Even Spider-Man would be jealous. You can use the sticky ink even to imprison an enemy into a ball of paste, preventing him from moving or to kill you.

Bouncy ink allows you to take huge leaps from any colorable surface, whether on the floor, a wall or the ceiling. You can also use it against enemies to make them fall into the traps.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to stop the evil plans of the despicable ceo, a scientist known as "Le Docteur", and save all the Splasher.

The game includes a timed mode that will test your skills on a layer of your choice, plus different ways Speedrun.

We leave you to launch trailer, informing you that the title will be available on 27 September: enjoy!
