Review Collateral Thinking (Wii U eShop)
Let's think about something else

News Wii U Exclusive, Collateral Thinking, Promises Retro-Style Action Platforming
With 100+ quickfire levels
Current-gen Nintendo systems have their share of titles that owe much to '80s gaming, with pixel-based visuals and simple gameplay hooks.

About The Game
Collateral Thinking is an arcade-style action platformer for Wii U that's all about beating up alien ghosts, recovering blueprints, and rescuing billionaires on a tight schedule (and budget).
Each level is a self-contained screen that gives you one of three specific tasks to complete in 30 short seconds - to "Avoid" all the hazards, to "Bust" all the enemies, or to "Collect" all the blueprints. These quickfire challenges force you to quickly survey your surroundings and then jump into action in order to progress through the 100+ floors and net as much cash as possible along the way. The game is meant to blend the core floor-climbing, obstacle negotiation of Donkey Kong with the original Mario Bros.' single-screen enemy hunting, and then crank up the speed, intensity, and absurdity while adding elements of Wario Ware's unpredictability and impulsivity to the mix.
