Curve Digital has revealed that it is bringing RageSquid's PC title Action Henk to consoles this Summer.
The game features a wacky action figure who loves nothing more than racing across various environments in the quickest time possible. You'll be able to run, jump and butt-slide across 70 different levels, with the objective of shaving as much time as possible off your personal best time.
Earning medals across the stages unlocks more characters and courses. You'll also be able to take part in boss levels which grant access to additional bonuses.
Here's what RageSquid co-founder Roel Ezendam had to say about the news:
We've been overwhelmed by the reaction to Action Henk on PC, but it's always a game we wanted to see in the hands of console players, so the decision to work with Curve Digital – with their reputation and experience – was a simple one. We've got some big plans for the console versions and can't wait to see PlayStation, Xbox One and Wii U players racing up the leaderboards.
Curve Digital Managing Director Jason Perkins had this to say:
We've long admired RageSquid for their ability to create games that bring joy – and Action Henk shows the team are at the top of their game. As someone who – how can we say – has been in the games industry for a while, Action Henk brings back very fond memories of some of the most revered platformers and we're hugely privileged to be playing a part in bringing it to consoles.
You can check out some footage from Action Henk below. Will you be laying down some cash for this?

Haha, I like action Henk, I have it on steam. A good time killer.
SPLATOOOOOOO- wait... what? Oh, that's a company.
I... no. This does look kinda fun, but I'm really not a fan of the character designs in the slightest.
Never heard of this but it looks fun!
That pic is like Sonic met Boogerman. And I trust the games Curve ports and publishes so I will be watching this.
Oh come on now, every excuse to include squids in an article, these days! Fried squid rings, anyone?
Looks like Sonic meets Earthworm Jim.
Gotta put it on my Steam wishlist.
Dexter's Laboratory,anyone?
Squids are so hot right now XD
@sinalefa He is actually wearing a sonic costume haha
This.. looks oddly fun actually. Also the developers are from the country I live in so YAY! I just might get this.
I can't tell how deep this gameplay is but it does look stupidly fun.
...The character scares me...
What in the...I'll have to look into this.
@TripleGamer3K exactly what I was thinking
@djepic209
Yeah, looks so weird.
Rogue Legacy please.
I was actually hoping for a Wii U version since the Early Access release, so I'm really happy about this. Looks really fun!
Actually looks kinda cool- I still want curve to port Titan attacks tho!
@andrea987 Hey, what is your icon from? Every time I see it, I end up staring at it because the character looks familiar, but I can't place it.
I like what Curve Digital does, but I really cannot get excited about this game. NES Remix, Bit.Trip 2 and OlliOlli have given me my fill of endless runners. To be honest, Canabalt still fills in that gap nicely.
Perhaps the next one will be something more interesting to me and not already in my Steam collection.
Dutch stuff people! Keep an eye on it, looks fun!
Haha... this is awesome. I have to look this up on Steam XD
@Crimzonlogic That's Prof. Moriarty from Meitantei Holmes (eng. "Sherlock Hound", ita. "Il fiuto di Sherlock Holmes"), an awesome cartoon series of the 80s directed by Miyazaki (just before Studio Ghibli). I know, I'm old.
wtf this looks awesome
SANIC
Looks oddly fun. Curve Digital publishes some interesting stuff.
Looks like it'll be a blast to play. Might end up in my watchlist.
This REALLY needs to get on too the 3DS Eshop too.
Day 1 Purchase if it gets on there!
Wow Sonic gained some weight after a few months
