The first thing that hits you when you watch the preview of Planet of Lana is how absolutely beautiful it looks. It is simply stunning. The painted cartoon-style graphics look different from anything you’ve seen before, a feeling I hadn’t had since Tarsier Studio’s Little Nightmares series. So it’s hardly surprising to learn that the Swedish developer, Wishfully Studios, actually comprises one of Tarsier’s co-founders.
The game follows Lana, a young girl, and her loyal dog-like companion Mui, as they embark on a rescue mission following the invasion of their planet. Cold insectoid machines have fallen from the sky, destroying their peaceful existence, and it’s up to Lana to save the planet.
The colourful side-scrolling puzzle platformer is due sometime in 2022. Find out more on their website.
I love the look of this game and side scrolling puzzle games are one of my favourite.
Me too, I just hope it gets a PlayStation release at some point.
