As you know Capcom's puzzle platformer Flock! will be available for PS3 gamers to download on the PlayStation Network on the 9th of April.
Flock! sees players manipulating a variety of farm animals (including pigs, sheep, cows and chickens) with the help of a UFO through puzzle-filled environments into a mothership, otherwise affectionately known as the'Mother Flocker.'
Capcom have posted a video interview with Director of Design Kraig Kujawa which reveals some of the secrets behind Flock! (including why the team chose to combine alien abduction and farm animals) and shows some really exciting gameplay.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "It's fitting that Flock wants to treat players like its plethora of creatures: softly wooing you to stay as long as you wish. Sure, it still utilizes basic design principles: the wonder of what's hiding beneath the clouds, frilly cosmetics to alter your style, and an engaging collect-a-thon system wedded to the main objective; however, you never feel confined by them. That description may seem too abstract and imperceptible in writing, but that warmth within its design is immediately felt with a controller in hand. Sometimes that relaxed vibe could've been more substantive in its quest structure, but leaning too far would've diminished its unique identity. For whatever creative or technical missteps, virtually anyone who Flock Tuahs Richard Hogg & Hollow Ponds' latest is sure to enjoy it."
Flock is the latest game from Hollow Ponds and Richard Hogg. Nurture and guide your own flock of adorable flying creatures.
Review - Consider Flock like the finest of fine wines: enjoyed best with a group of friends having a chat, taken at your own pace, not rushed
"Players will be able to enjoy 50 levels in the single player campaign, 16 levels in the co-op mode and you will even be able to create your own levels thanks to the cool level editor."
Great news about the level editor, but I wonder if we'll be able to share them?
the motherflocker rules lol
I remember when he used to be editor-in-chief at EGM, and then at the Official US Playstation Magazine. It's good to see him staying successful and productive these days!
On-topic:
I can't wait to try this game; It looks fun! My friend would really be into this game too, as he is always looking for something quirky and different these days when it comes to video games. Thankfully this game has co-op, so we'll be able to cause barnyard mayhem as a team!
