The tastiest happening you tin presently bash successful Haneda Girl is eject yourself from your mech consecutive into a streaking katana stroke that carries you though a doorway and 2 torsos earlier teleport-summoning your mech arsenic though inflating a lifejacket to weapon down 3 different mooks successful a giddy gout of purple gore. OK, that’s much than 1 thing. It is, according to section experts, a combo. What are combos bully for? Score multipliers, that’s what. Here is simply a trailer. Ware the techno.
In this action-platform stealth me-do from Studio Koba, you’re a juvenile coin-op junkie who has been piped Tron-style into an arcade crippled to “save Data Empire from the frightening (and intense) Hackernauts.” Each level is simply a tidy 2D breach-and-clear puzzlebox successful which you tin stomp astir successful your M.O.T.H.E.R mecha, oregon level connected ft similar a sucker. While wrong the mecha you person Gatling guns and shields, but you’re excessively hefty to acceptable done doors. While connected foot, meanwhile, you tin tally up walls and backstab people, but you tin besides beryllium slain successful 1 hit.
Fortunately, Haneda Girl tin teleport-summon the mecha without penalty, truthful there’s nary request to perpetrate to either style, prevention for erstwhile you’re constrained by an obstacle specified arsenic an inconsiderately human-sized transition oregon a katana-proof fractured surface. The Steam blurb has immoderate helpful, somewhat insulting advice: “I americium fearful and blimpish = usage M.O.T.H.E.R”; “Some days I get the nervus = Swap betwixt M.O.T.H.E.R and Haneda”; “I americium precise guardant = Haneda Girl (no doubts)”.
To enactment each that different way, you volition “move similar successful Celeste”, “destroy similar successful Bro Force”, “slash similar successful Katana Zero”, and “die similar successful Hotline Miami”. Woah, prevention immoderate touchstones for the remainder of us, Studio Koba! There’s wearing your influences connected your sleeve, and past there’s bulletpointing them arsenic verbs.
Thankfully, Haneda Girl has a fewer caller ideas of its own. The dual quality setup harbours a nifty symbiotic resourcing element. When Haneda Girl ejects from the cockpit, the mecha’s shields are restored; erstwhile she summons the mecha, it besides replenishes her superdash attacks. So the much you switch, the much susceptible you’ll be, and the much you’ll consciousness similar weaving the mech and aviator elements into a gratifying techno pretzel.
Given immoderate appropriately devious level design, I deliberation these fundamentals could truly sing. There's a demo connected Steam. The afloat crippled releases connected 23rd May.
