Cobalt is a 2D action platformer developed by Oxeye Game Studio with the assistance of Mojang and Microsoft Game Studios, and published by Mojang. Originally launching in Alpha on December 15, 2011, Cobalt was released on February 2, 2016, on Steam, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.[5] To cross-promote with Minecraft and to support the launch of Cobalt's spinoff, Cobalt W.A.S.D., a new tileset based on the Minecraft world ("Blockworld") was added to the Cobalt level editor as part of a free update.[6]

About

Cobalt is a 2D Action-Adventure game focused on its fast physics-based movement, versatile and high-powered weaponry,[7] time dilation where the game speed around the player slows to improve reaction times when facing lethal danger,[8] and a combat roll which enables the player to aim their weapons at any angle as well as deflect oncoming fire with the top of their head.[9] The game is split into seven core game modes: "Deathmatch", "Team Strike", "Plug Slam", "Survival", "Speed Challenges", "Combat Challenges", and a campaign "Story Mode".

Blockworld tileset

The "Blockworld" tileset was released as part of update v254 for Cobalt on November 28, 2017, just ahead of the release of Cobalt W.A.S.D.[10] It features 108 tiles based on overworld assets from the pre–Texture Update default resources. In v257, a bug was fixed which prevented the "Blockworld" textures from working in the Autodesk Stingray builds of Cobalt and Cobalt W.A.S.D.[11]
