Konami announces Dewy's Adventure for Wii

via joystiq

The Konami Gamer's Day was widely expected to unleash a torrent of information on upcoming games, but in this case, it's but a tiny drop of water. IGN has the scoop on Dewy's Adventure, a Wii title that sees players controlling an adorable droplet of water on a quest to restore his forest home to its former glory. Developed by Konami's Elebits team, it appears to be a puzzle game vaguely reminiscent of Super Monkey Ball. It seems that cute creatures find themselves invariably hampered by devilish puzzles.

The Wii remote will have a direct influence on the environment, with puzzles hinging on rotating the levels and positioning Dewy in the right spots. He's equipped with all manner of elemental powers to aid him in his progress, though we imagine that he'll have to keep any fire powers curbed at the risk of committing evaporative suicide. The thought of the poor little guy boiling alive is ... somewhat disturbing.

Konami notes that the game will, much like Elebits, feature a level creation mode and allow players to design their own puzzles shortly before tackling them alone or with a friend.
