Nordic Games has announced the release of Flying Wild Hog's JUJU.

JUJU is classic platformer that includes hardcore and challenge modes, boss battles, and a co-op feature made for parents who want to introduce their kids to games.

Players take on the role of Juju as he jumps, dashes and bashes through 40 stages to rescue his father and save the world from the evil Calypso. Players can invite friends to play cooperatively as Peyo, Juju's best friend, to uncover ancient secrets and defeat nine bosses that reward ingenuity over violence.

The game's cooperative gameplay is for two people of unequal skill, such as parents and kids, with features including drop-in/out multiplayer, competition-free gameplay, and the optional second character; Peyo. Armed with an extra tongue attack and reduced chance to be targeted by bosses, Peyo has been created specifically for new players to be introduced to gaming.

JUJU will be available as a digital download beginning December 9th for PlayStation 3 via PSN, Xbox 360 via XBLA and PC via Steam.
