Flying Oak Games' Knuckle Paradise revealed today

Among my favourite indie devs, Flying Oak stands tall with a couple of awesome titles in NeuroVoider and the more recent ScourgeBringer in their library. Some five years in the making, the next chapter is Knuckle Paradise, getting a reveal on indie showcase The Second Wind Games Show (stream available below), taking place around 9PM UK. 

Update: And here's the official teaser trailer... no game can go wrong with the opening like "I was kidnapped,... I met a chicken." Who, based on the action in the brief clip is your buddy in battle against raging teddies, sumo wrestlers and other thugs in a pixel/isometric combo-packed title. 

It stars Jane as a retired boxer and her sidekick, Cocotte the warrior… chicken. Fight everybody. Learn combos from a pirate. Fight harder. Level up your chicken. Find your kidnappers. Teach them a lesson.

Knuckle Paradise was just one of the many awesome-looking games on show, do scan through the show replay below and fall in love with a host of new games.

 

Original article continues: There's a few early WIP clips on Flying Oak's Twitter feed from last year, but much has likely changed, so I won't even bother showing them. Knuckle Paradise will feature among 10 world premieres and 90 other games, so get your caffeinated beverage of choice on standby. 

The Flying Oak team, who are working with ARTE Interactive these days, follow that up with a spot on Sunday's Games Made in France on Twitch (en français, naturellement). 

Whatever Knuckle Paradise looks like on reveal, here's hoping Flying Oak keeps up with the bullet ballet theme that broadly defined the first couple of games. The joy of fluid movement and heavy firepower within tight pixel levels provided great challenge and fun across Vita and other platforms. 

Will update with some impressions after the reveal!
