From the folks who brought you Critter Crunch, a new teaser.

http://www.swordandsworcery.com/

I love the music in the teaser. And I'm intrigued by the artwork. Pretty sure Critter Crunch was a lot of hand-drawn 2D art in high resolution (at least the PS3 version) running at 60fps and this looks like high quality, but low-res pixel art.

Seen via Brandon Boyer's Facebook update. (Can't find link, it's in Tweetdeck...)

Update: Looks like something different than a straight game?

@the1console: * * * * * Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, a brave experiment in I/O Cinema by Superbrothers, Jim Guthrie & Capy: www.swordandsworcery.com

Update 2: Official comment by Capy: "Allow us to introduce you to Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, our next iPhone/iPod touch game."

If is for the PS3, sign me in.

Nice!
Don't know if it's going to look like this, but it seems that low-res pixel art is making a comeback (see Half-Minute Hero and the other "blocky" game I-don't-remember-its-name).

Update: Looks like something different than a straight game?

EDIT: There's more: http://www.swordandsworcery.com/project/

THIS IS SUPERBROTHERS: SWORD & SWORCERY EP

* a brave experiment in I/O cinema.
* a crude videogame haiku about life, love & death.
* a choice cut of myth & dreams.

Looks awesome, these guys have made nothing but good games.

Really nice graphics and music.

@Cromulent_Word: Is this an iPhone exclusive or do you have plans on porting it to other platforms as well?

 

[Tiktaalik]

Great art direction

Hey guys!

Glad to see people are liking the initial teaser, art, music and so on.

The game is being built as an iPhone game, and right now that's the only platform we're working towards.

And to be clear, it is a game, but in the format of a musical EP.

Count me out.

I love those shots. Really cool art style. Too bad I don't have an iPhone or a Touch, I'd get this for sure. Critter Crunch has convinced me to just give you guys the benefit of the doubt from now on.
