The creators of Shovel Knight have returned with Mina the Hollower, a title that has already sold over 55,000 copies on Steam during its first day. Available on PC and consoles, the game offers a classic adventure experience at an affordable price. Its developers are confident of reaching one million sales, and the initial data points to a promising start for this new IP.

A pixelated engine with old-school mechanics 🎮

The game uses a 2D graphics engine with limited color palettes and hand-animated sprites, emulating the visual style of the 8-bit era. Its combat system is based on attacks with thrown weapons and an energy meter that recharges when hitting enemies. It also incorporates a level progression and item system reminiscent of Game Boy titles, with performance optimized to run at 60 frames per second on all platforms.

The triumphant return of nostalgia (and your wallet) 💸

If your dream was to relive the golden age of adventure games without having to dust off your Game Boy, this is your moment. Luckily, the price is friendlier than a movie ticket, although your hours of sleep will be affected. At least, if you fail in your mission, you can always blame modern controllers and not your adult reflexes.
