2.5D side-scroller by the Sine Mora [ > ] guys + Grasshopper. Aesthetically it looks pretty good, mechanically boring. The style has obviously been ripped off Cave's Nin2-Jump, though I do wonder whether this game began development before it, in which case it's just a coincidence I guess. Either way, if these dudes do not mention Cave at all in interviews they should be ashamed of themselves. The resemblances with Dynamite Headdy should also be noted:
Grasshopper Manufacture and Digital Reality are partnering for a second XBLA/PSN game, in addition to Sine Mora. Announced at a Grasshopper Manufacture event during Gamescom, Black Knight Sword is a side-scrolling platform action game that takes place in a sort of puppet play. The scrolling is made to look like the character is actually standing in place, and the background elements are constantly shuffled and replaced as if on a stage.
