I'm very pleased to debut Mina the Hollower! It's been a dream come true to work on this game with all my friends at YCG and I can't wait to show you more.
We’re so excited to finally reveal Mina the Hollower! It is a bone-chilling action adventure featuring classic gameplay & an 8-bit aesthetic in the style of the GBC, but refined for the modern era.
The Kickstarter is LIVE right now! For more info, visit: MinaTheHollower.com

⚡The Spark is LIFE!⚡
Classic games punish you severely for losing all your lives! In Mina the Hollower, (launching May 29th), we brought back some of that tension and excitement, with some modern twists! 🪦
What gaming mechanics do you want to see brought to the modern age?

One of my favorite modifiers is called "Floor is Lava". It provides a tricky and ever-evolving challenge where every step counts!

After hours with Mina the Hollower's early game, which reminds us of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening crossed with Bloodborne, we can already say that the developers of Shovel Knight have cooked up something special with their new game.
