Press release:
The Spain-based indie games developer Gammera Nest today announced with great delight and excitement that they have just released a brand-new trailer for their upcoming fully animated 2D adventure game “The Many Pieces of Mr.Coo” (which will participate in the Steam Next Fest, on June 13-20th).

Mr. Coo has one simple wish: he’s craving for a juicy red apple. But he lives in a weird, surreal world full of strange creatures, scary monsters and a mysterious lady with two enormous eyes. Worst of all, they all seem to have one goal in mind — make his life difficult.

The game will be released on Steam and PlayStation early next year and players can already wishlist it on both platforms.

The game has been developed by Nacho Rodríguez, a Spanish animator nominated for the Goya Awards in the Best Short Film category. In this truly unique adventure, Rodriguez wanted to create a video game that embraces classic 2D cartoony animation, while keeping responsivity and outstanding game mechanics.

ABOUT THE GAME
The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a surrealist point & click graphic adventure. Mr. Coo is stuck in a weird, mysterious world, and he needs your help to get through it – but first of all he’ll need to find all his pieces and be whole again! There might be some philosophical strife behind all this nonsense, but with all the chaotic monsters, crazy robots and one-legged ladies it’s kinda hard to say.

With an astounding and colourful 2D cartoon art, fully hand-drawn and a surrealist and whimsical story, full of absurd humor, wacky characters, crazy situations and innovative puzzles, The Many Pieces Mr. Coo is a fresh take of the graphic adventure genre that will bring together veterans and newcomers alike. And don’t miss the captivating soundtrack by composer Julie Reier.

Mr. Coo and this game are creations of the acclaimed artist Nacho Rodríguez. 2D animator and director, Rodríguez has been nominated to the Goya Awards for his short film “A lifestory”. He also was lead animator of the game O.zen at Ubisoft. Mr. Coo is his most celebrated character, having appeared in several hilarious short films.
