--=TERRA NOCTIS=--
Last week, we posted an announcement for developer, FireFruitForge's title, Terra Noctis (being published by Bulkypix). If you didn't have a chance to read the announcement, you can here. Terra Noctis is a retro-inspired platformer, influenced by the likes of Super Mario Brothers, and Donkey Kong, and has quite a bit of exploration tossed in, which expands the gameplay and level design quite a bit. Well, after obsessing over the game for the last couple of weeks, we'll finally be able to gush over the game with everyone else.
40 levels spread across 4 worlds, each having 100% completion available. To get it, you'll need to grab 15 red fairies, which are scattered throughout the levels, the large gold coin, which is almost always hidden in a harder to reach area, and 5 orbs with letters in them, spelling out S-C-A-R-E. You can also track your stats, like how many gold coins you've collected, how many enemies you've killed, how many fairies you've collected, your total distance ran, fallen, and more.
The controls, graphics, physics, animations, level designs, gameplay mechanics, they are all top notch and extremely professional. The story in Terra Noctis is also a high point within the game. The main character, a little nightmare creature named Allen, is attending the local Nightmare School, but with the teachings, he's still not quite scary enough. Then, after failing a test, he reads a local legend that says "Eat the heart of the scariest nightmare and become a scary nightmare, too." Here is where his journey begins to become the scariest nightmare in the land.
Terra Noctis will be available tonight at 11PM, EST, and 8PM PST, in the US. It is a Universal app, and is also supported by OpenFeint, as well as having iCade computability. It's easily one of the best platformers in the AppStore, if not the best, and ranks up there among the best platformers released on all consoles/platforms over the last 25+ years. FireFruitForge has definitely given gamers an exploratory platformer that hits all the right gaming nerves in our little video game obsessed brains. If you're a fan of the genre, DO NOT let yourself miss out on this amazing game. Even if you're not a fan of the genre, you should pick this one up, it might just make you a platformer freak.
You can also expect to see The App Shack's review posted up tomorrow, if you'd like to wait and read some more in-depth information about the game.
