Arty platformer Pid announced for PC, consoles

By Fred Dutton Published 6 December, 2011

Scandinavian jumper channels Limbo, Portal 2.

Another stylish indie 2D platformer to add to your list: Pid, the debut effort from Swedish studio Might and Delight.

Due for digital release some time in 2012 "for several platforms, including gaming consoles and PC", it's a 2D sidescroller that sees you stranded on a mysterious planet. According to the announcement, your journey home will feature "gravity-bending action, intricate puzzle-solving and classic precision platform action."

The game offers a co-op mode should you wish to bring a friend along for the ride.

Take a look at the rather lovely announcement trailer below for more.

Might and Delight was formed back in 2010 from the ashes of Stockholm-based Bionic Commando Rearmed developer Grin.

    This does look like it has some character rather than being achingly stylised for the sake of it. Also let's hope the mechanics are used cleverly and expanded as the game progresses and aren't just one interesting idea stretched beyond endurance.
    My pet peeves at the moment - last year it was the avalanche of 8-bit 'retro' styled indie platformers that thankfully seems to have settled.

    ^ I do see the danger of it being a game rather following the "artsy indie platformer from Sweden" clich than being really original and enjoyable. There have been lots of games that seemed so special in advance but turned out to be hugely disappointing.

    Nonetheless I will keep an eye open for this game, it certainly looks interesting.
