Disappearing off the map shortly after it was introduced last February -- and briefly reappearing at E3's Into The Pixel exhibit -- EA Tiburon's mystery puzzle/platforming DS game has finally been officially announced as Henry Hatsworth In The Puzzling Adventure.To jog your memory, the colorful 2D title follows British adventurer Henry Hatsworth as he explores 30+ levels over five exotic worlds, hunting down artifacts that will grant him new powers and ultimately unlock a golden mech suit. And that's just the top screen!
On the touch screen, players are presented with a puzzle game which can be used to gain power ups and helath, as well as transform Hatsworth into different forms. Jump past the post break for videos of the game that were debuted earlier this year at GDC.

It certainly looks great. The upper screen that is. I am not so sure about the lower screen though. What if I am not able to solve certain puzzle and thus am underpowered? I can imagine that I'd throw my DS around. :Q

It looks very innovative and unconventional. The sprites and the gameplay look good too, and anyway, there aren't many good 2D action games for the DS (besides Castlevania and Contra 4, that is). I'm definitely keeping an eye out for it, the new elements in gameplay could make this one great title for the DS.
