NimbleBit is probably a familiar name to a fair amount of people, mostly thanks to their previous games Tiny Tower and Pocket Planes. There next game follows their retro pixel art theme that the company tends to go with, takes inspiration from the classic game of Snake, and meshes it together with a healthy does of action on top of it all.
In Nimble Quest, players will control and ever growing and never stopping line of fantasy characters (warriors, wizards, princess, etc), directing them through various arenas while trying to live as long as possible. At first it seems like it is just a re-skinned Snake game but it really isn’t at all. NimbleBit has added plenty of action to the game in the form of shooting enemies in each arena while trying to dodge hazards that could kill you and your line of fantasy friends.
In terms of an end goal, it is just a matter of surviving the longest and killing as many enemies as possible. The game gets even more interesting with the fact that the heroes in your line can level up, becoming stronger as you survive longer. There are also power-ups to help you along the way. So there are some RPG elements to Nimble Quest and NimbleBit takes this a bit further with the inclusion of a Guilds feature where players can join Guilds and compete against other players/Guilds with special time-based quests.
Right now NimbleBit has Nimble Quest slated for release in April 2013, quite possibly April 4th, 2013 to be exact although that may change. You can check out the game in action in the preview trailer above.
