Cymbals clash when you throw a guy out the window. Colors splash on the screen like Jackson Pollock himself is tossing paint onto the canvas. Devolver Digital’s latest top-down shoot’em up appears to be a colorful symphony of destruction if the game’s latest trailer is anything to go off of.
Following an orange-colored ape as it ascends an elevator, the trailer shows you picking up guards to be used as human shields, blowing away people with shotguns and just generally painting the walls with the blood of your enemies as you make your escape in gameplay reminiscent of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. Every foe that you dispatch is synced with frenetic jazz music, making the mayhem as rhythmic as it is brutal. And with art by Bennett Foddy of Getting Over With Bennett Foddy, the game’s violent, kaleidoscopic aesthetic looks like it’d fit right with Devolver Digital’s wheelhouse.
To witness all the beautiful carnage yourself you can check out the trailer below to see how Devolver Digital’s next top-down shooter is shaping up.
