Fat Baby Games is a new studio that's just unveiled its first game. It's an energetic platformer called Fat Baby Galaxy.

The studio is comprises Sean Rosenbaum and Rich Larm, who were in senior positions at EA and LucasArts, working on The Sims, Command & Conquer, and Star Wars: Star Fighter and others over the years.

But for Fat Baby Galaxy they've pulled from classic console platformers and arcade blasters. We're talking Donkey Kong Country, Kirby, and Tempest.

The game will have seven worlds for you to travel through that each provide different fast-paced challenges. Expect to be using cannons, ziplines, jetpacks, pogo sticks, ice drills, and surfboarding down a wormhole.

As you'll see in the trailer it looks to have plenty of non-stop exuberance. Pushing you to go quicker and be louder as you go.

There will also be a slightly differently tuned PC version called Fat Baby Galaxy: Rash Prevention. You can vote for it to come to Steam on Greenlight.

And don't worry, Fat Baby Games says that each version is made specifically for that platform so the controls shouldn't let you down on either.
