Kickstarter fund for arty puzzler 'illo - birth of the cool' launched
Art installation
Italian developer Raylight has launched a Kickstarter for illo - birth of the cool, an artistically inclined puzzle-adventure intended for iOS and Android.
Conceived by artist and voice actor Luca Eliani, the game promises to bring a "little bit of cool" to the mobile market.
As you can see from the image below, Eliani is hoping that illo - birth of the cool's distinctive art direction and adventurous spirit will help it stand apart from its blood-splattered, explosion-filled peers.
From what we can tell from the teaser trailer, you will have to guide illo through a number of minimalistic environments by tapping waypoints and manipulating objects.
The creative team is planning to include other methods of interaction, too, such as blowing on your mobile device's mic to create a gust of wind, thereby slowing illo's descent when he steps off a platform.
Eliani and Raylight are looking to raise $270,000 on Kickstarter. They will invest that sum in the development, promotion, and eventual launch of the finished product.
If you think illo deserves to find a home on iOS and Android, you can pledge your support on illo - birth of the cool's Kickstarter page.
