New Swarm Trailer: “Unconcluded Conundrums” Released by Hothead Games
A rather crypitc teaser trailer for Hothead Games’ Swarm emerged today. If you’ve been following the game’s development for some time, then its irreverent humour will probably come as no surprise, but if this is the first you’ve heard of Swarm then a visit to the game’s Web site or a look back through some God is a Geek news posts might be beneficial.
A dynamic action-platformer that may remind some players of Lemmings, Swarm features, well, a swarm of bright blue “swarmites” who need to be guided across trecherous terrain.
Though this teaser trailer doesn’t give many clues about gameplay, it will certainly reassure fans of Hothead’s previous enterprises (DeathSpank and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness) that the studio’s trademark quirky silliness has, if anything, intensified.

My favourite games have plots, and love exploring the ways games tell stories. I've been "exploring" this on God is a Geek since January 2011, taking the odd break to play Super Smash TV, drink fine ale and rock out.
I compare video games to romance novels, vent fury at celebrity voiceovers and nurse a severe Tomb Raider complex over at my blog, Well-Rendered.
