Heave Ho
Devolver Digital have announced that Le Cartel’s Heave Ho will be released on August 29th in Europe and North America. It will cost 9.99€ / £7.99 / $9.99.
Here’s a trailer and some details:
Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customise your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accoutrement in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.
