Nifflas, the indie developer behind the excellentKnytt Storiesand Saira, has revealed his next project,FiNCK.

Clearly inspired bySuper Mario Bros. 2, Nifflas calls the 2D platformer the “antithesis to all [his] previous ambitious projects.” The title is pure gameplay with absolutely no story. “Even its title makes no sense,” the developer adds, referring to the words the letters inFiNCKstand for — “Fire Nuclear Crocodile Killer.”

FiNCKwill be released on May 12. In the meantime, we’ve got a trailer, which certainly has thatDoki Doki Panic/Super Mario Bros. 2vibe. You won’t hear me complaining about that.
