Funktronic Labs’Nova-111was thehighlight of my BitSummitin 2014. It blends turn-based movement with real-time elements to make an action puzzler of sorts. All of this is to rescue 111 scientists. Just trust us — it’s tough to explain how good it feels, but you instantly know when the controller’s in your hands.

Today, we have a new trailer to ogle, but things really heat up next week.Nova-111releases on PC and all PlayStation formats on August 25, and Xbox One on August 28. The Wii U version is set to follow sometime in September. It’s priced at $14.99 everywhere, but there are launch discounts on all platforms.
