Henry Hatsworth not Layton arrival: coming March 2009

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Dec 17th 2008 at 4:25PM }

Though we jest about the similarities between the two prim, proper and perfectly portable puzzle-solving gentlemen on the DS, the truth is that Henry Hatsworth has a distinct and delightfully violent streak. His game, Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure, not only features all manner of block-matching challenges, but simultaneously offers plenty of things to jump over, fight and shoot. Good show!

Clearly, he's a man of both brain and brawn (we can relate!), and we'll be welcoming him onto the DS in March 2009. Oh, and don't you dare forget the "outrageous world-ending bosses."

Everytime I see him I think

"Ill take ape tit for 200"

I must be really stupid, because I don't get the mechanics of this game. Is it just the same type of puzzle, matching tiles, over and over? I kinda like the art and what appears to be a sense of humor, but it confuseth me.

meh, never mind... shoulda read the Joystiq preview before i commented... i at least get it now, and am intrigued.

Empire, what-ho.

*puts a ticmark next to March*

Can't wait. This piqued my interests when I saw the trailer.

Though I'll be purchasing this, I really do wish it were that other puzzle solving fellow's game coming out instead.

...damn you, NOA.

It's amazing how whenever there is some god-awful pun in a post, it is always Ludwig. It never fails.

I get it, his last name is Hatsworth on account that he wears hats frequently so people dubbed him Hatsworth. Or does he wear hats frequently because his birth name was Hatsworth and he felt obliged too wear hats often as a result.

I want you to think about that until you figure it out.

Biff_McFresh @ Dec 18th 2008 10:44AM

I still have not come to a concrete conclusion on the topic.

I bought a DS just because I want to play this game. The guy who created it came to speak at my school, and from his presentation I was sold. The game play bounces back and forth from side scroller to puzzle game but doesn't rest on either for too long. Anyways, it looks very fun.
