PS3 Exclusive Japan Studio Game Puppeteer Announced

Sony announced a number of games at its Gamescom 2012 conference, but Puppeteer was by far and away the most interesting of the lot.

On the surface, Puppeteer is little more than a 2D platformer, but with a fantastic art style and the intriguing way the backgrounds fling around the screen makes this more than a little exciting.

Once the hero collects his magical scissors, however, these take on a far more important role, requiring near-constant use to overcome obstacles and chop through the levels.

No other details were given, but there's a definite LittleBigPlanet vibe to this one. One to keep an eye on, we'd expect.
