“All systems go, you better fear the fro.”

Have truer words ever been spoken? Seriously, this game wound up dropping onto my lap the other night and I just can’t get over the how badass it looks. First of all, any fan of Shaft can just sign up to buy the game right now — you’ll see why in the trailer below. Second the game actually looks to have some solid puzzle gameplay mechanics. Personally, to me, it looks to be one part Smash TV and two parts Zelda (NES) in terms of combat and puzzles.

The game is currently set for release onto WiiWare, PC and Mac early next year. For those wanting to dip in a little early, there’s a PC and Mac demo available right now on the developer’s website that gives you the first three levels of the game.

I’ll be dipping into the demo a bit over the next day or so and I’ll relay my findings to you guys. That said, however, I’m not sure if I have the will power to be critical against a game as funky as this…
