Developer Moon Spider announced its single player side-scrolling platformer, Harold.
Harold puts players in the role of a guardian angel tasked with guiding the title character, Harold, through a series of increasingly complicated obstacle courses. Harold will need all the help he can get
running, jumping and sliding across multi-tiered levels and against challenging opponents.
You play as Gabe, the guardian angel responsible for guiding Harold through the multiple paths of each
map, constantly saving your human runner from imminent death by manipulating obstacles in diverse,
challenging courses. To edge out the other runners and prove your angelic abilities you’ll need every
ounce of cunning foresight you can muster, because your greatest hindrance is the oafish clumsiness of
Harold himself!
Here are some quick pointers to get your started:
- Use the angelic tools on the course to help Harold move faster or to “delay” the other racers.
- Timing is everything, so think twice about how you use each tool; you may even find a shortcut!
- There is a balance to using the angelic tools on the obstacle course to your advantage; you can
time it well to put yourself in the lead, or use it to slow down another racer… the choice is yours. - Don’t be afraid to try different routes, even shaving off a few seconds could determine your standing in the race.
There are three facets to every course:
- Practice: so you can check out all of the obstacles and plan the best course of action.
Collect all the stars in Practice mode to receive an additional boost in the race - Race
- Challenge: play this mode to see if you can complete the perfect run!
Take a look at the new screenshots:
And, here is the official trailer:
Harold launches February on Steam for PC.
