Mostly made by forum member Stephen “Strife” DiDuro, the 16-bit-ish platformer Freedom Planet has finally been released on Steam after a few delays. This game is inspired by Mega Drive games with lovable protagonists like Rocket Knight Adventures, Ristar, and, of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. You can play as three different characters, of which two are playable in the story more. The third character will also get a story mode later on as free DLC. One of those characters is a cat who drives up walls with a motorcycle, bet you can’t find a Youtube video of real-life cat doing that! (But if you can, please link it in the comments below)
Freedom Planet can be bought on Steam for 15 bucks right now. If you don’t like this Steam thing, a DRM-free version will also be released soon. Also, Gene did an an interview with Strife at Florida Supercon, so read that if you want to know more about the game.

I’ll take you on that bet.

That won’t do, I said a cat driving up walls with a motorcycle!
Looking good, looking good. I wonder if there’s any plans to release on consoles? Namely, Wii U and 3DS, but there are other consoles that exist too, I believe.
Currently it’s not in the cards due to the software used, but we’re trying to find a way in the long run.
Bought it on Steam. I’ll get around to playing it sometime soon. From the looks of it though, it shouldn’t disappoint.
That’s pretty cool, I’ll grab it as soon as I can.
Would be awesome if it came out on PSN and XBLA!
