Recently on Offworld we saw Keita ‘Katamari‘ Takahashi’s Noby Noby Boy finally prepped for its first major update, with details of hair, bird, and marimba-based enhancements, and a new mode officially called, uh, ‘Fart Boy.’
We also saw the first video of Flashbang’s GDC Experimental Gameplay session entry Shadow Physics, in which one hand controls a light source in a 3D space casting shadows on a back wall, while the other controls a shadow figure playing a 2D platformer inside that shadow.
Elsewhere we saw lilt line, a new iPhone game described as a “retro rhythm racing beat ‘em up action game with a dubstep flavour,” listened to new chiptune/game music streaming radio feed 8bit FM, saw Daft Punk come to LittleBigPlanet, and got a sneak peek at the latest games from auteur and fantastically prolific Swedish indie dev Cactus.
Finally we saw King of Kong documentary star Steve Wiebe set a new world record, coveted retro-clash Monster Hunter T-shirts and custom Bubble Bobble vinyl toys, assembled Castle Crashers papercraft, and, best of all, downloaded the new free Lite version of iPhone favorite game Drop7 — and, with a new gameplay mode, it’s an essential download for owners of the full game, too.
