Bennu: Once A Bird Flinging Co-op Our Way

Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski June 30th, 2009 at 2:47 PM    


While generally being bizarre in presentation, Indie games tend to speak to the heart of gamers. Classic platforming that pays homage to our gaming roots, games like Bennu (Once a Bird) give us very unique co-op experiences. Bennu is a puzzle platforming game with an intriguing "leap-frog" style co-op. That is to say, when a rope can connect with an environment, it can also connect to your swinging co-op partner for a little added boost in whatever direction you're headed. Bennu, from what we've derived from the trailer, is a bird-like-creature that has to maneuver its way through obstacles and bosses, using a unique physics engine to launch itself from place to place.

Of course, having the bizarre aspects such as a bird-like-creatures, and bouncing ropes to propel through a level is difficult to properly explain. So, for your viewing and understanding pleasure, check out the trailer yourself!

That looks like the best, and most original, Indie/Community co-op game released to date, definitely looking forward to it being released.

Checked out the devblog, it's currently in peer review. If it passes, it should go up directly, if not, the dev will have to bug fix and wait two weeks to re-submit.

I gotta say, I'll highly likely be picking this up. I'm sure it will be $5 or under too, which is even better!
