Wadjet Eye Games, an independent publisher of retro-styled games, and UK-based indie developer Chris Burton announced today the release date of Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass, a hilarious adventure set in the peculiar world of professional wrestling.
Set for release on February 29, as a PC download from www.danewguys.com , Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass, a nostalgic throwback to comedy games like The Secret of Monkey Island with the feel and pacing of a Saturday morning cartoon, is a point-and-click adventure with humorous dialogue, clever puzzles, and a quirky art style.
"Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass is a rare game that manages to be both charming and bust-a-gut hilarious," says Dave Gilbert, Wadjet Eye Games' CEO. "I've been a fan of Chris Burton's work since he first introduced Da New Guys in an amateur freeware game years ago, so I'm very excited to be kicking off Wadjet Eye's 2012 lineup with their commercial debut."
Under somewhat sketchy circumstances, Brain - a member of Da New Guys wrestling trio and the worst brawler in Wrestle Zone history - has won the title belt. (Not even his teammates Simon and Defender can believe it!) When an angry mob shows up to protest, Brain and the precious belt end up kidnapped. Now it's up to wrestling's most eclectic team to get their buddy back and defend his unlikely title - not to mention Da New Guys' Wrestle Zone reputation.
Starting today, Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass, can be preordered in both download ($9,99) and Limited Edition CD formats ($19,99), while a free demo is also available.
