London-based development studio Mediatonic has chosen Sony’s  Minis platform to release their first game, entitled Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! An upwards-scrolling platformer presented with clean and vivid 2D visuals, players assume the role of a demon known as “The Duke.” Setting out for revenge under the pretense that monsters were probably responsible for the kidnapping of her majesty, players are tasked with taking down monsters with brute force by crashing into them three times. Platforms are scattered across each level in an escaling fashion, which when touched allow players to build up a combo, in turn beefing up speed and power attributes.

Weighing in at a tad over 95MB, Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! will be one of the largest Mini titles to grace the PlayStation Store yet. And as a PSP Mini, it is playable on both PSP and PS3, thanks to Sony’s most recent firmware update on the PS3 side that brought cross-compatibility.

Look for Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess! to join the Minis lineup in February 2010 in all its monster slaying glory. More screenshots can be viewed after the break.
