A game for both your eyes

Swiss solo game creator Christian Schnellman (Kind of Soccer, Lowboat) has a new game heading to PS Vita called Paneuropa.

And, get this: It's a split-screen game for one player.

Yes, that means you have to pay attention to two separate games at once on a single screen. Sounds tricky, and it looks even trickier if you watch the trailer below.

Apparently, the left side of the screen shows the game world from the top-down. While the right side shows it from the side.

The idea, then, is to pay attention to both worlds in order steer the vehicles around the obstacles that line their path.

The worlds on both side of the screen don't match up, mind.

You could be looking at a lunar lander moving through asteroid fields in one screen. And a football traversing a stadium filled with bricks in the other.

According to the game's website, Schnellmann is aiming to bring Paneuropa to PS Vita this month.

It will be released through PS Mobile and will cost 56p / 90c / €0.73.
