Precision 2D Platformer “MOMIBOSU” that makes you want to play again no matter how many times you fail, is released today, January 15th
Independent developer Peng has released the precision 2D platformer MOMIBOSU on Steam today, January 15, 2025. The game follows a boy and girl raised in an underground village as they face “dangerous dungeons” and “terrifying enemies” again and again in their quest for a new land. I spent 6 years developing this game on my own, and I have finally managed to release it.
The game is priced at US$12.99 and is available for Windows.
MOMIBOSU is a challenging precision 2D platformer filled with intricate mechanics that provide a satisfying sense of achievement.
Here is more information about the game:
● A Gameplay that Makes You Want to Try Again No Matter How Many Times You Fail
The game allows for quick retries, encouraging players to keep challenging themselves without the frustration of long waits after failure.
Minimal game-over stress.
● Unique Mechanics for Each Stage
As the stages progress, new and interesting mechanics are introduced. For example, in the first stage, there is a fun mechanic that is activated by making enemies collide with each other.
● Dungeon Exploration Elements
While a precision 2D platformer, MOMIBOSU features a Metroidvania-style expansive map structure, allowing for exploration and item collection to enhance your abilities.
● Battles with Terrifying Boss Characters
The game features numerous boss characters. Boss battles with human-like characters implement a combo attack system akin to a fighting game, offering a satisfying and exhilarating combat experience.
● Bosses Are Not Just Humans, but Also Monsters
Massive bio-weapons also appear as bosses. Each boss has unique traits, and finding the right strategies to defeat them is one of the game's key pleasures.
● High Freedom in Action
The game allows you to dash freely in eight directions (up, down, left, right, and diagonals), and you can use the recoil from attacks for high-speed movement, giving you the freedom to traverse the game world swiftly.
● A Road-Movie-Like Story
The main characters, a boy and a girl, embark on a journey towards new lands, encountering various characters along the way. The story offers a wide range of encounters, from “positive encounters” to “the worst encounters deserving of death.” Experience the twists and turns of the story, and find out how it ends.
● [Special Feature] Art Style Selection
You can choose the art style for the characters’ portraits during the dialogue scenes between "line art" and "pixel art." Each style was drawn by a different artist.
Initially, only “pixel art” was available, but the "line art" style was added later to enhance the art, a decision typical of indie development. You can change the art style at any time.
● Aiming for a "Game Anyone Can Play" with Speed Adjustment Mode
Although the game is known for its high difficulty, it features a speed adjustment setting that allows you to reduce the game’s speed, significantly lowering the difficulty to suit more players.
● Looking Forward to Challenges from Speedrun Enthusiasts
With a high level of technical intervention, the game is well-suited for speedrunning, and we’re excited to see the challenges players will take on.
● Recommended Controller
It is recommended to use the D-pad on an Xbox controller for the best control experience. While joystick controls are possible, the D-pad is recommended for faster and more precise inputs.
