Halfbrick's Colossatron: Massive World Threat invades earth next week

This just in.

Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride developer Halfbrick is launching its upcoming mobile game, Colossatron: Massive World Threat, on 19th December on iOS and Android.

Inspired by "the craziest anime and cartoons of the 80s," Colossatron puts players in the role of a giant alien robot snake set on destroying as much of the world as it can while fending off the forces of earth's champion, General Moustache. The whole thing will be presented as a news broadcast with cartoon anchormen narrating your malevolent exploits.

To get a better feel for Halfbrick's satricial sense of humour, check out the latest Colossatron trailer below.
