Taipei-based indie developer Busy Toaster Games and video game publisher Leoful thought it’s about time you get to know some of the heroic characters you’ll come across in the chaotic world of Georifters. Here are bios and trailers for four out of the seven wacky heroes; with more to come!
Candy
She’s a fiery redhead from Sweet Spot who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. Or “yes” for that matter. She kind of does her own thing. Using her dual bubble gum cannons Candy can blast out rapid streams of hot pink bubble gum that sticks to things that she can then pull in towards her. Some people might call Candy a bubble gum freak, but some people might also find themselves suddenly stuck to walls and ceilings.
Chief
Chief BonBon, Sweet Spot’s first chocolate based firefighter. The results of fighting fire with chocolate have been somewhat mixed, but Chief remains a beloved and reliable resident of Sweet Spot. His primary equipment is his Chocolate Hydrator, a special device that collects his chocolate sweat for later use to put out fires (don’t ask us) which can also be used for wicked fast terrain flipping.
Mighty B
He’s a freestyling MC from Musictown who keeps the beats beating, keeps the rhymes rhyming, and who doesn’t stop the party for anyone or anything.The gigantic portable subwoofer he carries on his back is the real deal. He uses it to blast out powerful acoustic vibrations that radically alters everything in front of him. If anything blocks his way, Mighty B will unleash a seismic whirlwind of multichromatic vibrations that will send those bad vibes flying somewhere else.
Lex
She’s an artist. You wouldn’t understand. Her spray pack is her paintbrush and Paintville, her home Bubble World, is her canvas. We know that she likes to paint and not much else. What is also known about Lex is that the giant spray pack she carries around is capable of delivering a powerful explosion of multichromatic paint that creates its own spiraling color vortex that pushes everything violently downward. Let’s just say you don’t want to be in front of Lex when this happens.
More information on Georifters:
Georifters is a platform manipulating adventure game where players must push, flip, twist or turn the terrain to overcome challenges and battle competitors in hundreds of stages in single-player, co-op or multiplayer modes.
In the Georifters’ story mode, you play as Candy as she navigates the six bubble worlds (each inspired by one of the human senses) all currently destabilizing due to a threat to each of their existence. Candy must tactically manipulate platforms to defeat the havoc inciting creatures that have been unleashed.
These six fantastical worlds consist of 30+ levels with 300+ stages, with seven different heroes to discover along the way, each with their own individual special way of manipulating the terrain. Use these skills to unearth hidden items, unlock power ups to upgrade your champions’ unique abilities and customise their look with over 50 different costume combinations to choose from.
The digital version of Georifters will be available on Nintendo eShop in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong for $29.99 / £27.50 / €31.90 on September 18th, 2020.
