Description

GetClose is a competitive multiplayer game that forces players to sit next to each other with one hand on the Wii U™ GamePad and/or Wii U™ Pro Controller. Each player is able to control a "starkid" on the TV screen with the left or right joystick. Players will need to progress through levels holding on to the cosmic crown, while collecting pickups, earning points, and avoiding deadly obstacles. You can also play solo (or co-op) in a new mode where you must protect the crown at all costs. Get comfortable, because you’ll have to GetClose!

History

GetClose is a Wii U eShop game that is built using the Nintendo Framework. We started focusing on development of the game in early April, 2014. Since then we have conceptualized the look and feel of the game and are now focused on creating our first public play-test demo.

We're excited that we managed to add Wii U stamps, and a 4-player mode into this first release.

A war lording space king must name an heir to rule his galactic empire. 10 children must now compete to win their father’s affection. They are sent to Earth to engage in a fast paced battle of athletic endurance. 2 children enter, one leaves - victorious - the other casted into the banal corners of the galaxy.

Features

• Single or multiplayer. Each player holds onto one side of the Wii U GamePad or Wii U Pro Controller, using the analog sticks and shoulder buttons.
• Multiple levels to choose from for each game mode (8 levels per mode).
• Off-TV mode. Play a game of GetClose on the GamePad while TV is occupied.
• 12 "Characters" to choose from, each with their own personality.
• 7 "Pickups" to collect, each with its own ability.
• King of the Crown mode - Hold on to the crown the longest.
• Capture the Crown mode - Grab the crown, and bring it back to your base.
• Protect the Crown mode - Protect the crown as long as possible from a never ending barrage of baddies.
• Party/social style play. Quick game bursts to allow for a quick/fun session of gameplay. Pass the controller around to test your might against other rivals.
• Collect Food Points throughout your battles to unlock awesome Stamps. Use your new Stamps on Miiverse posts to showcase your glorious victories.
