Rolando dev reveals next project

Okabu will be a PS3 exclusive.

The London-based studio behind the delightful iPhone puzzle adventure Rolando has just lifted the lid on Okabu, a downloadable third person adventure for the PlayStation 3.

According to HandCircus' website, Okabu will see you "guide Kumulo, Nimbe and the cloud-flying heroes as they battle to save their people and their world from the industrialized threat of the Doza!

"Dive into a hyper-tactile toybox world filled with a huge number of puzzles, playthings, adorable creatures and devious machines spread across an epic co-op campaign."

Judging by the rather lovely trailer, which you can see below, HandCircus has been rifling around in Nintendo's art cupboard.

There's no firm release date for the game yet, but it's due to hit PlayStation Network some time in 2011.
