The Wii U recently got another indie platformer called “140”. And it looks to be the most simplistic thing anyone has ever seen on the Wii U eShop.
140 is a platform game independently developed by Jeppe Carlsen, known for his game-play direction for Playdead’s Limbo. The game is described as a “minimalistic platformer”, using electronic music to create synesthesia as the player manipulates their avatar, a character that can take on several basic geometric shapes, through levels in time to the music
Most indie platformers at least make an effort to create characters. 140 has a circles and triangles. Most indie games make an effort to create interesting backgrounds and backdrops. 140 has a single color background in different hues. Most indie games make an effort to create interesting enemies and objects the player can interact with. 140 has squares.
If extreme simplicity is something you like, then 140 may be just the game for you. You can grab it now on the eShop for $8.
