Tearaway

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tearaway is a Jump 'n' Run - and Adventure - video game of Media Molecule , which in November 2013. Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita was released. In September 2015, a remake of the game for the PlayStation 4 was released under the title Tearaway Unfolded .

Course of the game

The player accompanies a messenger through a world infested with snippets , opponents made of paper. The aim is to send a message to the being represented by the player.

Gameplay

The game is a three-dimensional jump 'n' run with adventure elements. All Vita features are used for interaction with the game world. This includes the camera that gives the player the face of the sun, the touch surfaces on the front and back of the device, with which the player can either tap snippets or seem to reach into the game world with his fingers through the back of the device. The microphone can be used to record sound samples , which are then played back in the game world. The player is regularly asked to expand characters through handicrafts or to add missing elements to them as the player imagines.

style

The entire game world is presented as tinkered with paper and cardboard. Movements are shown in typical, rather slow and choppy animation steps for paper models. Because of this, the game's visual elements are occasionally compared to Nintendo's Paper Mario series . The gameplay style, however, is reminiscent of Little Big Planet , a series that was developed for PlayStation consoles.
