Buttslide to victory in lunatic platformer Action Henk on PS4, PS3, PS Vita

RageSquid team up with Curve Digital to bring their barmy debut to consoles

Hey everyone! Roel Ezendam from RageSquid here, and I am honoured to announce that Action Henk will be coming to PS4, PS3 and PS Vita!

Action Henk is a game about an action figure trying to relive his heroic past. Henk used to be fastest of them all back in the ’80s and ’90s, but nowadays there’s not much left of his former glory. He gets challenged by his rival Dr. Kentony, and he’s out to prove that he still has what it takes to be the fastest!

The goal is to use physics and momentum to race through levels as fast as possible. These short levels require you to master all the subtle tricks that the physics-based platforming has to offer, including the famous butt-slide.

RageSquid is a young game development studio from The Netherlands, and Action Henk is our debut title. This means it’s also the first time we will ever be launching a game on console, which is super exciting for us! The game is heavily inspired by our childhoods, and it’s set in a colorful world full of toys and nostalgia.

So far, the reception for Action Henk has been amazing. We felt like the game could work very well on consoles, and we’ve teamed up with Curve Digital to make this happen.

We can’t wait to sit down and play some Action Henk on PlayStation, and we hope you are just as excited!

crappy indies is all we get nowadays. is it any wonder why people say console gaming is dying ? keep trash like this on Wii U and Vita. i don’t spend full price on PS4 to play trash like this.

Who is saying console gaming is dying? Gaming is probably the only industry that continued to see year on year growth in both sales and revenues for the last ten years. Console gaming is bigger than ever.

The sole reason you’re seeing so many indie games is the combination of how many indie developers have access to console dev kits (more than every other generation combined) and how much faster they can work compared to your average AAA studio. Your average AAA is knocking out as few as one game per four years and at most one a year, indies however are getting their games completed in months due to their smaller scale.

I honestly don’t see why having more games to choose from is seen as a problem by some people.

I heard that Sega were planning to release Shenmue 3 for PS4 this year, but they couldn’t because this game was made.

So Wii U and Vita should only have ‘trash’ games? Shut up. You haven’t even played this nor are you being forced to play or pay for it. Indie games give more choice to the consumer on PS4 more so than any other console. What exactly is wrong with that?

Anyone else remember Action Hank from Dexter’s Laboratory? Whenever I see this game the jingle from that plays in my head. Just putting it out there.

Can we create our own stages?

Game looks great and fun. Day 1 purchase for me.

Thanks to developer for supporting PS3 aswell. We arent budging just yet.
Another dev added to “love list”.
Great choice to team up with Curve Digital, those guys are one of few publishers who arent in game delaying bussiness.

Hope the game does well on all Sony platforms.

Krijg nou toch een bakkie pleur zeg! Played the PC demo last week, I’d love to play this on the Vita!

lots of indie games indeed
some are great ( if you like genre + style )
lots of indie crap to ( more of them come out )
vita needed lots more indie games whit corect price on the vita + if big hit make a ps4 version noth the way around .
jes lots of a+++ games iritating me also by 2 reason

1 -dlc = bad feeling ( free dlc + some paying dlc = ok if price corect )

2-time excl.multy console games ore dlc
big hate : i refuse to buy dlc from dragon age inqusition – cod ( even total stop of the cod games )+ some other games .
In long term devlopers + publishers are destroing the loyalty of their gamers having on 1 console
, so excl. takes to long = we do not buy , so you lose ath end .
