dtp entertainment and Ronimo Games have announced a new cel-shaded action platformer, Awesomenauts, for Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network. The game is an explosive multiplayer online battle arena game which can best be described as a 1980’s animated series version of Castle Crashers.

Awesomenauts brings Space frogs with mohawks, giant robots, and lots of other mighty aliens to the two-dimensional console battlefield. Combining classic platforming-action with modern online multiplayer functionality, the action-packed gameplay offers everything the 16-bit generation and modern gamers love.”
