Mediatonic, makers of the well received (by most) Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess, have just announced their new Mini, Who’s That Flying?!

It keeps the humorous slant of the previous title, let’s hope it has more lengthy gameplay. At first glance it seems to be a cartoonish side scrolling shooter (much like the upcoming Ace Armstrong and Flying Hamster), but apparently it has some tower defense elements. Check out their blog for more details.

The game’s core mechanic is a mixture of a side-scrolling shooter and a tower defence game. As the hero you must prevent a certain number of enemies from escaping into the city in each level in order to save the city from the invasion.

As the ultra powerful hero you?re both awesome and indestructible but getting hit means that you?re out of action for a while ? giving enemies a chance to escape. If you let too many enemies past you the city will be destroyed and you?ll lose the level.

In addition to the story mode the game has four different ‘infinite’ mode levels and a special challenge mode with twenty five unique challenges to take on – we’ve managed to squeeze in a lot of great content.
