5th Cell's Xbox Live Arcade shooter Hybrid will be receiving a beta test in preparation for its launch this year. The Scribblenauts developer says that sign-ups will open shortly after the Game Developers Conference next week, but hasn't mentioned a start date for the beta or an official release date for the game.
Given how clever the Scribblenauts games have been, it's hard not to pay attention to what developer 5th Cell has in the works. Their next game, Run Roo Run, isn't quite the imaginative "do whatever" kind of game Scribblenauts was.
Described as a "micro-platformer," Run Roo Run is similar to other "auto-run" games, like Canabalt. However, instead of running through a randomly generated stage for as long as possible, you will be going through one of the 420 pre-designed levels.
Jeremiah Slaczka, creative director and CEO of 5th Cell, goes over the controls, gameplay, and persistent world of Hybrid in a developer walkthrough.

Hybrid lands on Xbox Live Arcade for its beta prior to launch, sure to cause a spike in the broken controller population due to intense button mashing.
