Duck dragons and other weirdness in Tiny Plumbers

Independent developer Robot<3Kitty is in the process of designing Tiny Plumbers, a game heavily inspired by the continuing adventures of Mario. Five bucks gets you can early version for PC and Mac, with the finished product looking at a launch price of $10.

The art style is exactly the kind I would mentally attach to the word “indie.” Despite some familiar elements, this game delves into alternate-history territory with its oddball enemies (Reptar, is that you? With a cowboy hat?), quirky sound effects, and whatever the hell that was at the end with those flying dudes.
