Developer Adventure Works has revealed Ari Buktu and the Anytime Elevator, a puzzle platformer coming to PC.
The debut title for Adventure Works, Ari Buktu is a whimsical 2.5D platformer that takes the titular Ari, a high school student, on a time-bending journey with a crazy-haired scientist by the name of Professor Lionel Raventhorpe. Using a time machine created by the good professor, the duo, alongside a cute little critter named Julius, travel to a variety of locations to run, jump, slide and puzzle their way toward adventure.
Making its way to Steam soon, Ari Butku will feature six different areas and 13 levels, with various challenges, puzzles and dangers to overcome. Interestingly, one of the key minds behind the game and the founder of Adventure Works is Jeffrey Ashbrook, a former Disney Imagineer and one of the folks behind the excellent Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run ride. So, the hope is that Ashbrook can transfer his creativity from designing rides to developing games.
