Kickstarter Game Crypt Run Sets Wii U Stretch Goal

Hack-'n-slash game Crypt Run may be coming to a Wii U near you!

Crypt Run, a hack-'n-slash game currently being funded on Kickstarter, is now working towards a Wii U stretch goal, as developer Lost Decade Games has become an authorized Nintendo developer.

While the game has hit its funding goal of $5,000, it will need a total of $13,500 to hit its Wii U stretch goal.

This will be developer Lost Decade Games' first console game, and they will be offering 100 Wii U codes for a donation of $15. The reason for the limited amount is that eShop developers may only give out a limited number of codes for their games.

If the stretch goal is not met, the developer plans to continue pursuing a Wii U release, possibly through an outlet such as PayPal, in hopes of allowing Nintendo fans to directly fund the game.

An early demo is available here.

Obviously inspired by The Binding of Isaac, which sadly never made it to the eshop.
I hope that this game has a similar humour as tboi, not that Nintendo will allow it.
The demo looked good, but after I "died" I couldnt control my character anymore
so I dont know what that mechanic is all about.

After playing the demo, I don't see what will make this game stand out when there are so many other great games like it. It plays very similarly to The Binding of Isaac, but it has none of it's charm. The art style is also something I would have expected to see on Newgrounds in the early 2000s, and that's not a compliment. Hopefully it's still early in development, but it's certainly one of the least exciting indie games I've seen come out of Kickstarter lately.
