Owlboy devs unveil Vikings on Trampolines

It’s Owlboy that the D-Pad Studios team are best known for, but very soon they’ll be bouncing back, delivering the colourful cooperative capers of Vikings on Trampolines to PC and console.

Unveiled today by that D-Pad Studios stable, is the stunning pixel arted Vikings on Trampolines, a game that will be arriving on PC and console in the near future.

Delivered alongside a new trailer, Vikings on Trampolines one-to-four player cooperative adventure in which you and your mates will be attempting to harness the power of the trampoline, as you send your viking friends bouncing to glory

Super colourful, you’ll be looking to take in a range of fun modes and minigames, all rendered in the characteristically-stunning pixel-art of D-Pad Studio’s Simon S. Andersen.

It’ll come featuring a Story Mode and it is this which sets you on a quest to stop the gaseous villain Balloonie from taking over the world. There will also be a head-to-head Versus Mode for those looking to bounce around with their best friends.

Vikings on Trampolines is packed with minigames, battles, mind-blowing bosses, balloon-soccer and more. And the neat thing is that all of this can be played with a single thumbstick, opening the game to players of all ages and ensuring that you can become a master of air-time in no-time!

A game in which vicious balloons attack, turning sweet animals into huge monsters! Vikings on Trampolines’ Story Mode tasks you with rescuing King VI and reversing the Balloonie’s curse, leaving you to learn the way of the trampoline and use your bouncy techniques as you square off against Balloonie’s brigade, including a roster of intimidating and unforgettable bosses full of personality.

There will be a number of worlds to discover, each with various stages, challenges and bosses which are scattered across their continents. Progress and you’ll be able to unlock new modes and arenas to play in the Versus Mode.

“Vikings on Trampolines began life as one of our small experimental projects, which won the first Nordic Games Indie Sensation Award back in 2011,” said D-Pad Studio’s Jo-Remi Madsen. “After releasing Owlboy, we’ve since returned to the idea and developed it into a fun, fully-fledged, co-op adventure! Between Simon’s incredible art, an awesome soundtrack and a unique concept, we aim to deliver a game bursting with the character and quality D-Pad Studio is known for.”

We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop moving forward, but you really should be checking out that trailer.
