Hot Patootie! There's A Rocky Horror Show Retro Platformer On The eShop

Those who have partaken in a Time Warp or two may not have assumed that The Rocky Horror Show was begging for the pixel platformer treatment. But it's happened, it's on the eShop, and it looks... not bad?

Developed by FreakZone Games, the fittingly titled The Rocky Horror Show Video Game is now available to download for £7.99 / $9.99 (there's even a 10% discount on it at the moment), promising retro platforming thrills with a simple pixel art style. It may not be the way we're used to seeing Brad Majors and Janet Weiss' run-in with Frank-N-Furter, but it certainly has this Rocky fan shivering with antici... pation.

With infinite retries and chiptune renditions of the musical's iconic soundtrack, there's room for this to be an interesting way to do the Time Warp again, even if it is more likely to appeal to fans of the cult classic than anyone out for a new platformer.

You'll find a rundown of the game's features and a couple of screenshots below:

I WOULD LIKE, IF I MAY, TO TAKE YOU ON A STRANGE JOURNEY
