Craneballs [does a crane have balls?] have released details of their upcoming game Blimp.
The game involves you piloting your blimp through great looking hand-painted 2D levels; transporting people from one area to another; carrying out supply runs; and, once your blimp is upgrade, full on attacks on enemy blimps. You control your blimp by tilting left to right for direction, and touching the screen to give yourself a boost vertically. Anyone familiar with games like iCopter will get it right away.
What caught my attention are the wonderfully realised graphics. Which looks to embrace the great 2D art of the 16bit era, with classics such as EarthWorm Jim. We’ve posted some screenshots below, but it looks even better in motion… so check out the video too. The game is due out mid May.
