Media Molecule’s Tearaway is an adorable arts and crafts adventure
Developer Media Molecule has standardized adorable in the high-def console generation, introducing gamers to Sackboy and friends with the creation-focused LittleBigPlanet. The UK-based studio’s newest concoction follows a similar strand of cuteness, commanding “awwwwwws” throughout the demo of Tearaway – Media Molecule’s first foray onto the PlayStation Vita.
Tearaway follows ‘The Messenger’ – played by the lovable and customizable male cutout, Iota, or his female paper counterpart, Atoi – on a quest to deliver a message to the player. As either of the two characters, you’ll explore a wondrous world crafted from colorful paper and propped up with globs of glue, gusts of wind, and strategic folds.
At its heart, Tearaway is a 3D platformer. You won’t be developing your own levels or actions in Tearaway, but navigate through the imagination of the small, roughly fifteen-person team handling the studio’s handheld debut.Gallery: Tearaway (01/30/2013)Continue reading Media Molecule’s Tearaway is an adorable arts and crafts adventureMedia Molecule’s Tearaway is an adorable arts and crafts adventure originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:30:00 EST.
