Late last year Headup Games, a publisher familiar for also developing and releasing Typoman on the Wii U eShop, confirmed that it was publishing another game on the system. That title is Toby: The Secret Mine, which is the work of Lukáš Navrátil, an independent developer from Czech Republic.
It looks like a rather stylish puzzle platformer, and the good news is that its release isn't at all far away - it arrives on 19th January and will cost $9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99.
The beautifully handcrafted puzzle platformer stands in the tradition of modern classics like Limbo or Badland. The players need to solve challenging puzzles during their adventure in the dark and mysterious world while mastering the jump'n'run gameplay passages on the fly.

Well they kept this one a... secret! Eh? Eh?
I'll get my coat..
Its visual style reminds me of Typoman. I'll probably pick it up at some point if it reviews well.
It's on my radar. If the reviews are strong, I may pick it up on sale eventually.
Good game. Picked this up on the iPad from the App Store for 3.99.
I thought it'll be the same price in the eshop.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I enjoyed typoman more.
Really? People are still releasing things for the Wii U? Thought they were all using "technical difficulties" as a default get out clause
@DanteSolablood you beat me to it. Here's your coat....
Heh, heh, he's scratching his butt.
Okay I once again almost chocked up reading that name. I know him (not personally), but had no idea he was behind this. I feel kinda proud, when it comes to game industry we tend to be behind except some rare cases cough Mafia cough)
Feist, Limbo, Badland, Typoman.
There are a lot of graphical similarities between those games and Toby. Lets see. Limbo and Typoman were awesome at least.
