Media Molecule, creator of the LittleBigPlanet franchise, undoubtedly excited many Gamescom observers with the announcement of Tearaway, an innovative new game coming to the Vita.

The game represents an entirely new direction for the successful game developer, and shows exciting promise by taking full advantage of the features (microphone, rear-touch, etc.) of the Vita hardware.

Adventurers control a character named Iota in a "vibrant papery world" that gives players "god-like powers," according to the Tearaway Web site. As usual, Media Molecule's high level of interactivity and quality will most likely make this a must-have game for Vita whenever it debuts (we assume this year or in early 2013).
