Our Goal:
We strive to create a metroidvania game that fans of the genre will be thrilled to play. Having the essentials like a non-linear progression through a vast 2D world with fast, responsive combat and movement mechanics that reward quick reflexes and reactions. While adding a fully hand drawn art style on top to create a world that feels both alive and sparks the curiosity for them to explore.
Target Audience:
Our customers would be players who are fans of the Metroidvania-Platformer Genres and Indie game enthusiasts and enjoyers of games with hand-drawn art. Ranging from middle school students to independent adults.
Main Competitors:
Hollow Knight (5.6m units sold), Blasphemous (1.2m units sold), Cave Story+ (716k units sold) and Guacamelee! (520k units sold).
There is a large market in the Metroidvania genre. We aim to add our unique twist with our game having hand drawn graphics, fast paced action sequences with unique mechanics centered around the main characters shield, comedic elements and characters making a grim setting lighthearted and offering high replayability through a rich story, worldbuilding and exploration.
