After the acquisition by Microsoft, one would have thought Mojang would have turned into a sole Minecraft machine for the Redmond software giant (or worse). That, of course, was not the case: the studio released its second game, Secret, recently, and just published another one one, Cobalt, on the Xbox Store.

Developed by Oxeye Game Studio AB, the game is a side-scrolling action game featuring the titular cyborg on a mysterious planet solving challenges, uncovering secrets, and participating in multiplayer battles, with a focus on competitive gaming.

There are a variety of innovative gameplay mechanics that promise an action-packed, fulfilling playing experience, including extreme automatic bullet-time, combat-rolling, punching explosives and more. A multitude of gaming modes like Deathmatch, Team Strike, Capture the Plug and more should keep players in the game for a long time. Plus there are Space Hamsters that you can tame.

The game is available in the Xbox Store US for $19.99 for Xbox One and Xbox 360, and is also available on PC through Steam.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
