	'''''Cobalt''''' is a sci-fi 2D sidescrolling action platformer video game developed by [[Oxeye Game Studio]] and published by [[wikipedia:Mojang_Studios\|Mojang Studios]] in 2016 to [https://store.steampowered.com/app/357340/Cobalt/ Steam], XBOX 360 and [https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/cobalt/BSS424N935KS XBOX One].<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/cobalt-is-now-available/</ref> ~~It offers~~ a ~~massive amount~~ of ~~content~~ and ~~many unique~~ mechanics ~~to go with it, such as~~ combat rolls that deflect projectiles and time ~~slowing down around~~ danger~~, which combined~~ with responsive and tight controls produces unforgiving~~, fast-paced~~ gameplay that can be experienced across ~~the~~ [[Story (Cobalt)\|~~game~~'s campaign]] ~~and many~~ singleplayer or multiplayer gamemodes, ~~via~~ LAN, online ~~play~~ or ~~in the same couch when using controllers.

'''''Cobalt''''' is a sci-fi 2D sidescrolling action platformer video game developed by [[Oxeye Game Studio]] with assistance from [https://www.fatshark.se/ Fatshark]<ref>https://www.fatshark.se/cobalt</ref>and [https://pixeldiet.se/ PixelDiet]<ref>https://pixeldiet.se/project/cobalt/</ref>. Cobalt entered public alpha in December of 2011<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/cobalt-pre-orders-around-the-next-bend/</ref> and was originally purchased through a Mojang account. After 5 years of public alpha and beta releases, Cobalt was ultimately published by [[wikipedia:Mojang_Studios\|Mojang Studios]] on February 2nd, 2016 to [https://store.steampowered.com/app/357340/Cobalt/ Steam], XBOX 360 and [https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/cobalt/BSS424N935KS XBOX One].<ref>http://www.oxeyegames.com/cobalt-is-now-available/</ref> Cobalt features a wide variety of game modes, play styles, and significant mechanical depth to tie its disparate elements together into a single cohesive experience. The signature mechanics of Cobalt are combat rolls that enhance movement and deflect projectiles, Auto-aim initialized by sliding across surfaces which preserves momentum or sneaking to stealthily and silently approach and eliminate targets, and the automatic initialization of localized time dilation when the player is faced with lethal danger. The combination of these mechanics with responsive and tight controls produces a breakneck pace and unforgiving yet fair core gameplay loop that can be experienced across [[Story (Cobalt)\|Cobalt's singleplayer/coop campaign mode,]] singleplayer challenge modes, or multiplayer PvP and PvE gamemodes. Multiplayer can be accessed locally though the use of up to 8 controllers, though a Local Area Network (LAN), or online though Steam or XBOX Live (separate purchase necessary for XBOX Live).
