The Princess has been kidnapped!… By YOU!

Nefarious is a old school side-scroller where you get to play as the bad guy (kidnap the princess, beat up superheros, and try to take over the world) and is looking for support thru Kickstarter.

It has a great look and feel to it and has tons of potential to be a real awesome game. Everything from the character designs to the animation looks really top notch. The game is planning on launching for the PC, Mac, Linux and Wii U if the Kickstarter campaign raises enough funds.

So check out the trailer, official description, and artwork below and if you dig it as much as I do you can make a donation to the Kickstarter HERE. If (and you all should) you give to the Kickstarter, you can keep up with the development of game HERE on Facebook or follow one of the developers on Twitter HERE. Stay Nerdy Nerds!

In Nefarious your objective in each stage is to successfully kidnap a Princess and then thwart a hero trying to stop you!  Experience the adventure of classic platformers from the other side of the coin and use an arsenal of explosives to blast your way through the opposition!

   The best laid plans will go awry. And sometimes kidnapping the princess can become complicated. A princess with wings will make you lighter than air while carrying her. One composed of pure energy will supercharge your abilities just by being in close proximity.

 A scorching princess may have an adverse effect on your suit and do strange things to your explosive ammo.

 The Nefarious villain protagonist boast a suit of armor that makes him immune to most explosions, so you can use a combination of grenades and bombs to propel yourself to new heights!

 Some bombs stick! Detonating sticky bombs on command means that these lethal (and incredibly sticky) weapons can be used for controlled grenade jumps. Boost in to the air with multiple grenades to gain an unfair advantage over the despicable heroes.
 

…Or, if you feel like being particularly evil, set traps for your pursuers and watch the gibs fly, a great party trick!
