Drewsgames is proud to announce release of its new independent game, Dumbow & Cool, a 3D platforming action game for the PC.
The
story begins at LLC Oil Rig. King Lecture, the owner of LLC Oil Rig is
watching a presentation about his companies' profits over the year. It
turns out he is not making enough money to pay for his employees wages
and make a profit. To this end, Lecture orders his Stude minions to go
and find some slaves to work for him.The Stude's land in Happy Valley,
one of the home's to the Schmumps: cute purple guys who'd rather not
work as slaves on an oil rig. Capturing all of the Schmumps in metal
cages that can only be opened from the outside, the Studes take some
back to LLC Oil Rig, and the rest, which couldn't fit in the Stude
helicopters, are left caged where they were caught. Only two Schmumps,
Dumbow and Cool, who evaded capture, remain. It's up to them to free
all of their friends and defeat the evil King Lecture. Dumbow and
Cool's journey will take them through snow-torn ice levels to
mud-filled battlefields to high speed train top rides, and eventually,
to LLC Oil Rig itself where they will face King Lecture himself...
Set
in a cartoony world, the game offers two playable characters called
Dumbow and Cool. One can swim, the other can skate, and they must be
used together if the player is to succeed. As well as the usual 3D
platformer elements, Dumbow & Cool has a unique two character
dynamic - the player will have to use the abilities of both characters
together in order to advance. The game can also be played by 2 players
in split screen, each controlling a character simultaneously. All
characters are voice acted, and the game has over 8 minutes of
full-screen, voice acted film in-between levels to tell the story.
