The guys behind The Incident and last year's terrific Space Age have lifted the veil on their next game: a clever level-shifting platformer that currently has no name.

It's an auto-runner, so you can expect the hero (Frank, from the incident) to run all by himself. But unlike most games in this over-stuffed genre, he'll also jump automatically.

Your control over the game is to shift platforms and obstacles out of the way to give Frank a clear path to take.

"Your job is to make sure he can land his jumps, to guide him toward coins, to prevent him from disappearing off the end of the screen, and to help him to avoid hazards like spikes, endless pits, and probably a bunch of other things we haven’t thought of yet," says developer Matt Comi.

Development started in January and right now it's just called BB3 (as its Big Bucket's 3rd game) but it already looks pretty interesting. We'll keep you posted.
