Lapin is a new “precision platformer” with a surprisingly cute aesthetic for the genre.
Usually when we hear about precision platformers it’s like Super Meat Boy, the death is gory and funny. Instead, Lapin tells more of a serious story and appears to use the difficulty to set its tone.
Players control one of five rabbits who are run out from a park after humans begin development on the land. Each one has their own story.
You can check out the trailer below.
The rabbits who lived underneath a park have to leave for a new home, as the humans started a renovation. Liebe, a white rabbit, goes on an adventure with Captain, Bianca, José, and Montblanc. What will happen to these five rabbits on their adventure?
Join the rabbits on their adventure full of new friends, rabbit-threatening dangers, and last but not least, beautiful scenery![Platforming]
