Earlier this week, Renegade Kid announced it was closing its doors and splintering off into two separate developers. Jools Watsham’s studio Atooi is focusing on 2D games, and today it has announced its first game. Chicken Wiggle is a pixelated 2D puzzle platformer starring a chicken and his best friend, a worm. A wiggly worm!
The game features retro style graphics that we have seen in other Renegade Kid (now Atooi) games such as Mutant Mudds and Treasurenauts. The chicken and worm have a variety of moves that can be used to navigate across tricky obstacles in this colorful world. Their mission? To save their friends from a sinister witch who lives in sky towers. The game will also feature a level creation tool that players can use to create and share their own levels.
The game will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS eshop “soon” but no release date or window has been clarified. We have reached out to Atooi for more details and will update the story.
Watch a short sneak peek trailer for Chicken Wiggle and find the full press release below.
