New footage of Glorkbot’s Mini Adventure is a homage to Metroid, projectiles

A very earlier Kickstarter project, James Kochalka and Pixeljam’s collaborative Glorkbot’s Mini Adventure is going on its third year of development. That’s not necessarily a bad thing — we’re all busy people and the team has been eeking out details along the way. James sent me a note about new footage from an alpha build of the game and it’s exactly the sort of game I wish existed as a child. Lots of platforming, space creaturs, and a little Samus morph ball to boot.

No date on release yet, but Kochalka’s daily comics on his Tumblr should help you pass the time.
