RedDeerGames is a name that's popping up more and more, with the charming Little Mouse's Encyclopedia being a recent release on Switch eShop. The publisher / developer has now outlined its next title that's heading to Switch (along with PC / Xbox) later this year - 7 Horizons.
Its big pitch is that gameplay will be 'Rayman meets Mega Man', which is rather bold, but the teaser footage does at least give a solid first impression. A platformer with some run 'n gun sensibilities, you play as the shapeshifting Jelly, and also apparently as a range of their friends, each with different abilities. The initial footage doesn't show much, but apparently the final game will have a number of different worlds (seven seems like a logical guess) and various enemy / boss types.
Take a look below.
You can also direct your eyeballs to some screens below.
We'll certainly keep an eye out for further updates, let us know if you're intrigued by this one in the comments.

This isn’t hitting my Mega Man or Rayman radar. Sure is hitting my iPhone shovel-ware radar, though.
@BloodNinja Hahaha, nailed it xD
Not terribly impressed by the trailer. The art style is bland and lazy.
What on Earth are ‘big gunes’? Perhaps I’d rather not know...
Nothing like either game. Looks more like Scribblenauts with guns to me
@BloodNinja I came here to say just that, it reminds me of neither franchise
@carlos82 It's green! Must be Rayman! He shoots and jumps! Must be Mega Man! lol
@BloodNinja Ethan from Resident Evil must be based on Rayman then as his hands are barely ever attached to his body
@carlos82 LOOOOOL
If this is the direction that 2D indie games with unique art styles are going then I am not a fan of it!
@Markiemania95 I don’t know, but all that matters is that Jelly likes them. Not sure if anyone else should like them, though.
I think I'll wait for 30XX for my Mega Man fix.
This ticks several of my boxes. Look forward to the NL review when this lands.
@BloodNinja 100% agree. It makes me so irritated how often these types of websites try to spread low quality indie trash in the name of nostalgia obsession. This looks like a game I could've played on kongregate 15 years ago.
@azizidarkreborn Haha, that takes me back. We're all getting old! Ah!
NINJA APPROVED
Is it supposed to be quirky like Rayman Origins and Legends are?
Eh. Looks sub par and won't appeal to fans of either.
