The Lovely, Colorful Platformer ScaryGirl Arrives on XBLA

ScaryGirl, a platformer based on Nathan Jurevicius’s graphic novel, has been released on Xbox Live Arcade, with a PSN release scheduled for next week and a “coming soon” release date for PC. As you can see yono all app in the trailer and screens above, it’s looking mighty nice! I had been under the impression that this yono all app was an HD remake of the years-old (and fun) flash game, but it in fact is an entirely new game featuring the same color-drenched art-style and charm. Players control the titular ScaryGirl, a freaky-yet-cute young girl who looks like a combination of a character from Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice and a character from Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. And if that combination doesn’t have your interest piqued… maybe you haven’t read/seen those two things? I’m looking forward to playing this one. I’ve always wanted to see what ScaryGirl would look w69 slot like in HD. The game costs 1200 Microsoft points, or $15. The PlayStation 3 version will release next Tuesday, January 24th, and the PC release date is currently unannounced.
