Playtonic Games had a stage event for their upcoming game, Project Ukulele, at EGX Rezzed in London today.

The game, touted as a spiritual successor to both Donkey Kong and Banjo-Kazooie, is being created by a team of mostly former Rare developers, and we know that it will be a 3D platformer.

Now, we’ve gotten a look at the game itself for the first time, which you can view in the screenshots, both above as well as below:

Playtonic described the game as an entire new world of characters, each having the potential to star in their own games in the future. The first game is poised as a celebration of 3D platformers, and there will be lots of things for veterans and newcomers alike to enjoy, like collectibles (pages, for one) and secrets to uncover. There are reportedly a bunch of special moves for the heroes to learn, and there will of course be several beautiful-themed worlds. Collecting pages will apparently let you unlock new worlds, and enhance existing ones.

In case you were wondering – the game will not be free to play, nor will it have micro-transactions or in-game advertisements, and lastly, there won’t be whale-hunting (a mobile game marketing term for cash cows).

These worlds are described as huge, navigational puzzles. This could be good or bad news for perfectionists (depending on how you look at it): the studio is promising that even after you finish the game, there will still be hosts of secrets tucked away in the game that will reportedly take “months, maybe even years” for people to find.

Finally, a Kickstarter for Project Ukulele is being readied for the month of May.
