TerRover roars on to US PSN tomorrow

Creat Studios latest project TerRover will be arriving on the US PlayStation Network tomorrow for $14.99.

TerRover is a stylised, 2D physics- and vehicle based platform game that sees players taking control of a small off-road vehicle as they explore new planets and collect valuable items. You’ll get “weapons and tools and a chassis equipped with rocket launchers, magnet cables and more to assist in collecting all the mechanical parts scattered about and discovering the secret areas and hidden passages.”

The developer also revealed a few new interesting details about TerRover in a recent post on SCEA’s PlayStation Blog. We now know that the game will feature “over 40 stages of puzzling arcade levels on five strange and different planets, each with its own physics and funky, eye-popping 2D art style.”

“All pose unique threats and their own version of fun! The icy vistas of Congelata let you dig through snow and glide along stretches of ice. The all-tech surfaces of Mechanica toss you about its gears and motorized hazards. Robot-eating plants, underground rivers, and strange vegetation on the terrains of Acor and Aura will keep you and your TerRover on your toes (er… wheels?) The treacherous volcanoes and lava of Volcanus can thrust you high into the air or melt you on contact.”

Other neat features include Trophies, YouTube support as well as being able to enjoy a number of different modes and races in different locations with up to four players in the competitive local multiplayer mode.

So what’s the inspiration for TerRover’s expressing emotions? TerRover’s producer, Olga Solokova explains: “We discussed it at the very beginning, based on our experience of making an inanimate character come to life on previous project, Digger HD. We thought it was cool, so we set out to push it further and make TerRover smile, gasp and frown, get angry or frustrated, to make him feel and express emotion.”

“Early into production, TerRover was alive due to the amazing work of our art director, Anastasia Vasilieva. She’s a master of perfecting small and cute things, like she did on Mushroom Wars. We laughed a lot while working on TerRover, and I hope that we’ll make the players feel that and smile at TerRover’s funny faces, too.”
