Twisted Fusion Joins the Kickstarter Ranks, Will be a Wii U Exclusive if Funded

Does not really look that interesting. A platformer where you can jump and shoot.

The game is still in development so there is room to grow. Looks interesting to me though I want to know about the game and on what scale they plan on taking the game. I would love a Metroid-vania style run-n'-gun on the Wii U.

I think Wii U only kickstarters are a bad idea, most kickstarter money comes from pc owners. Hex looks neat but I doubt it will make the 80gs needed. This on the hand looks fairly standard so its good the funding goal is low.

Yaaay, more platformers.

Shoot stuff from a safe distance, wait for it to die. This looks like a chore to play.

Also, the hitboxes seem pretty messed up.

Could at the very least be a decent game is given funding.

'Real time day and night' sounds interesting. You get a different experience depending on what time you play the game?

I would love to be a fly on the wall in a room full of indie devs. They must think the Wii U audience is pathetically desperate for new games. Don't get me wrong I love the support but its just so much contrast between indie support and major publication support

This looks terribly boring. It's clearly a kids game.

It does not look that bad, obviously influenced by Megaman. The initial goal is not that high either.

I wish some of these indies would favor hand drawn animation like blaz blu or something like that as opposed to pixel art . I love pixel graphics and all but change it up a bit . Hyper light drifter is a good example of a unique looking pixely game . If you have to do pixels can you at least follow the lead of one the best , Neo Geo ?

I'd back it, it looks like it could be a good game with some room to improve.

Hm, I see a boatload of potential here, but some design choices are really questionable.
For example: why is Cora's sprite much less detailed than that of the enemies? Her sprite looks very stiff, so I hope that will change, as well as the unfitting sprite style in comparison to the enemy designs.
And why water guns, of all things? It might be inspired by Mutant Mudds, but some level designs clearly show off some menacing atmosphere where water guns drag it down. I'm not saying they should switch to real guns instead, but they could do with something... stronger than water guns, and maybe (just MAYBE) add a bit more depth to the system than Jump'n'Shootmangirl.

However, the stretch goals are all appealing, especially the dual swords one (though that's also the highest one).
Also, the visuals (except for Cora herself) look really great! They remind me a bit of Paul Robertson's style, though less chibi. I suppose I'll back it, but I hope to see a bit more beforehand.

The platforming looks a bit basic. Also this doesen't exactly scream "This has to be on the WiiU!" material. Maybe if development furthers along?

Does anyone know how it works if you back a game in a currency that is not your nation's currency?

This is the first Kickstarter in UKP that I have thought about backing. (I am in US, so the others have been in USD).

This game reminds me of the old Commander Keen games. So it could be a lot of fun.

The game looks like it could be fun, but I'd want more aggressive enemies that don't just stand there taking the shots or plenty of exploration

The art style is what throws me off. It looks like a very old-school action platformer, but the art looks all hand-drawn and not terribly stylized. If they went the Mighty Number 9 route or embraced a real 16-bit, pixel art look I'd be there. If you are going to promise me retro gaming, deliver!

"Back in my day, we didn't HAVE huge 3rd party support! We had to personally fund the development of games if we wanted them to see the light of day!"

I call bull. I've lost faith in a lot of 3rd parties. They'll make the same claim that their game is Wii U exclusive, then in a few weeks it'll get ported, OR it gets switched to multiplatform and the Wii U version either gets stripped down or canceled.

Going to keep an eye on the Kickstarter. Hoping for some more infos before I decide to pledge or not.

I always wondered why the crappiest things are first to make when the stretch goals are reached?
I mean, when you are funding the game, don't you want something like, I don't know, more game? Like that "dark, epic Majora's Mask" thing? Which he already has planned out for 2015?
It looks really blind, and the description is so uninteresting it's incredbile.

@Yorumi there are two programmers, which probably want to make some money on the side or just do it because they want to actually make the game. From the pirce standpoint, it kinda makes sense, because kickstarter shouldn't be about making money, just the funding you need. Not like "give us 20 bucks, and we will charge the cheaper early acces for 50 euro later and make money off you". As he said in the kickstarter, he only wants the money for thing necessary to make it, like the kit

@Yorumi the money they want is 5000 USD. And you are talking about entry level salary... now what is realistic? Also, it's said in the kickstarter it's a guy who made games for iphones for 8 years, so it is possible that he has engine ready or he just wants people to give him money for kits and anything, but he will pay the programmist from his own pocket, which is entirly possible, because he knows if the game will hit 3 grand, he make money off it later by eshop or port to steam etc.

He just doesn't want people to fund the whole project. It happend many times, like with that metroid type game.

Looks okay.

I'll pay £5 for more of the awesome cover art on display (why IS she blushing while shooting the water pistol?), but the game doesn't appeal.

i dont know what to say about this it looks sort of boring i hope they show another video with at least something intersting.

Really? Reading the article the last thing I expected was a 2D Platformer. Not sure why. No, not supporting this. Looks very bland.

@Yorumi " I have kept the initial funding goal as low as possible whilst cover the necessary essentials such as: the Wii U Developer Kit, Graphic assets, Audio Assets to names but a few."
Here it is. That's the funding.

Also, you seem to have typical US thing, that there is no such thing as currency difference or everything is totally like in US. You could say 500 pounds is underpaid, and yet I can name you a few countries in which people would actually kiss your butt for this kind of underpaid. Entry salary does not equal the money you will really get.
Also, he is based in UK, so it is entirely possible that he is hiring emigrants who, like I've said, are thankful for those 500 pounds.
According to your calculation, the Witcher 1 & 2 doesn't exist or both are a big scam.

Hello all, I'm the developer Lewis Pugh, any questions let me know. There is still allot to show over the coming month including more trailers and lots of more info.

For those wondering about the low cost of the kick starter, I am also the sole developer and as you can guess you will not be funding my salary, I have been acquiring the graphic and audio assets over the years so the costs are really for dev kit and various fees in order to see world wide launch.

If you like the look of it please support

Alisha's Dragoon w/out Dragons meets Megaman replaced with waterguns !
I like how she's holding that Wii U Pad FTW

Don't know about the game, but the girl on the cover is very cute. Only reason I looked at this headline TBH.
