Small independent Swedish game developer Oxeye released Cobalt last week, their new 2D action/shooter platformer. Currently the game is in Alpha, but Oxeye looks to mimic their partner Mojang’s (the makers of MineCraft) release method. Players who pre-order Cobalt in the alpha will be granted full access to the Beta and full version of the game as they become available.

The Alpha is currently available for 9.95 Euros (roughly $13 U.S.) and is available on Windows only; however, Oxeye states that versions for Mac OS X and Linux will be available in the Beta which will sell for 14.95 Euros (roughly $19.62 U.S.).
