Rotastic swinging onto XBLA September 21

There's no finer method of video game locomotion, we can all agree, than the grappling hook. Good news, then, that publisher Focus Home Interactive announced today that Rotatstic will have you not only grappling, but swinging, bouncing, and hacking all over the place on September 21 via Xbox Live Arcade.

Rotastic offers seventy levels of grapply, bouncy, smashy, item-grabby single-player action, plus multiplayer, with Deathmatch and Item Collect modes for up to four players.

"Collect items, escape deadly traps, send your opponents flying to their doom, smash bricks, execute aerial acrobatics, burst chickens to dust and feathers, or top the fastest speedruns!" says Focus Home, which all sounds jolly good fun.

Rotastic will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10). PC and PlayStation Network editions are slated to arrive in the first quarter of 2012.
