Terra Noctis Coming To The iOS This December

Do you remember back in the day when platforming games were at their best? Back when you could cruise through Super Mario on the SNES? It’s seemed like those days have long since been gone from our daily lives, and it’s quite sad. Developer Fire Fruit Forge embarked on a quest to bring these good ole’ days back and add to them their special twist. The result is Terra Noctis, and it’s coming to the iOS next month.

Terra Noctis is an old-school platformer that features some amazing pixel art and great game mechanics from the past. In the game, you control a little nightmare creature called Allen. He’s attending the local Nightmare School, but hasn’t quite got what it takes to be scary enough – at least, not yet. Following the failing of his recent test, he becomes motivated by a local legend printed in a book: “Eat the heart of the scariest nightmare and become a scary nightmare, too.” With that, his journey begins to become the scariest nightmare in the land.

The game features 40 levels, with various secrets to unlock and challenges to overcome. You’ll need to locate 15 red fairies and a collectible gold coin throughout each stage, along with letters that form the word “SCARE” for a classic 1-up reward. You’ll also pick up blue fairies, which you can use in return as currency in the in-game Shop. Here, you can buy helpful power-ups, including an umbrella (to deflect enemy attacks), balloons and bombs. You can see Terra Noctis in its beta gameplay below, and I think it’s well worth a peek. If you own an iOS device, keep a look out on the App Store when the game releases next month for $2.99.
