In the absence of our Kickstarter update, which will return in the coming days, it seems like a good time to highlight Warlocks, a campaign close to closure that is targeting Wii U. A fast paced action platformer with pixel graphics, at the time of writing it's raised nearly $19,000 of its $25,000 goal, with around 60 hours of funding time left; it'll certainly be a close call, and the Wii U version is in the core goal.
Warlocks is the work of One More Level, a studio based in Karkow, Poland. The game is an action platforming title with multiple areas to explore, loot to collect, bosses to battle and different playable characters to master. There'll be some competitive modes, too, but a key feature is four player local and online co-op, with the clear goal of encouraging everyone to play through the experience with others.
Already Greenlit for Steam on PC, the small team is aiming to fund the final steps of development and, of course, that Wii U version. You can see more of the game and the team below, including the impressive lead programmer Max Strzelecki, who was born without arms and does all of his typing and work with his feet.
Have a look at the pitch video and let us know what you think. Would you like to see this get over the line and come to Wii U?

Its sad how everyone always asks for new games to come out, and for you to report on them, and then they don't bother to look once games are announced.
And dang, that programmer is pretty inspirational.
Back on topic, this looks very hectic, to say the least, I'd need a demo to sell me right now. I don't doubt that its fun though~
Where have i seen the font before?
Neat.
Reminds me though, what the heck ever happened to Pier Solar HD?
@ThomasBW84
I'm pretty sure this article was posted around when the Wii U Update was posted. Now it's 12 hours ago? Still having problems with your servers?
@BensonUii It was originally posted around 12 hours ago, but we've had to manually re-upload quite a lot of content. All should be sorted now, but in some cases we also lost comments.
@ThomasBW84
Ahhh.. Okay.
Thanks for the reminder about this project - I had forgot about it! I backed it now, since it seems like a fun game with good ambitions, and the Wii U as a core goal.
I hope this makes its goal, have not seen much sites reporting it though.
@ThomasBW84 Well, I seem to be one of the unlucky recipients of comments being removed, and not just some, but ALL of my most recent comments as well as the reactions to them from people I was talking to. Just out of curiosity: shouldn't there have been a fail safe in place to prevent exactly such an issue? When major work is done on a server park this is more than likely one of the things one could expect to happen, so preventive measures could have been taken.
One other question, totally unrelated: I've sent an item to your news department about the latest Fast Racing Neo screenshots released by Shin'en, but that is almost a week ago now and I was wondering why it hasn't been posted here yet, while numerous other sites have long since reported on it. Is it not news worthy enough for NLife, and if not, what are the criteria?
ON TOPIC:
Looks like an okay game, but not nearly as "epic" as they themselves think it is. Also seeing someone presenting a promotional video in his boxer shorts lying on a couch in a semi-uninterested pose doesn't do much to raise my interest in this game.
And some of the others need to learn where to look when the camera is pointed at them...
Wow... this looks crazy! I wasn't expecting such fast-paced action from the title, but this does look pretty rad. Just might get it, if it does in fact come to Wii U.
where's 'Karkow'? do you mean 'Krakow'? (or possibly 'Kraków'?)
@Prof_Clayton Did you check the Kickstarter page? There IS a demo...

The game looks quite awesome. I can see myself and friends playing the crap out of this one.
i love the style, ill need to see more
I'll definitely keep this on my radar.
@rp17 I don't have a gaming PC though, or any PC to try it out on.
I should have been more specific. :3
@Prof_Clayton ...Well then. I guess that could be a problem...
