Yacht Club Games have lifted the lid on what they have been working on after the success of Shovel Knight and it is a brand new action game which is titled, Mina the Hollower. The top-down action adventure game is Kickstarter funded project which has a goal of £230,401. This goal has already been achieved at the time of writing this. Mina the Hollower is a Game Boy Color inspired game visually and it will run at a silky 60 frames per second. You can check out the trailer fro the project below. A release date for Mina the Hollower has yet to be announced by Yacht Club Games.
“We want your feedback, collaboration, and support in making Mina the Hollower the best game it can possibly be. That’s why we’re returning to our roots and kicking off Mina the Hollower’s development as a Kickstarter campaign. Though we’re financing a majority of this project ourselves, we hope we can create a more expansive game this way. More importantly, we want to build a community around Kickstarter, much like we did with Shovel Knight.”

I see inspiration drawn from a lot of different games here. Top-down like Zelda, weapons like Castlevania, the protag even has a burrowing move similar to New Super Lucky’s Tale…
Once I hit my next big payday, I’ll probably give to the Kickstarter campaign.
Looks nice. Definitely backing this. Their going to destroy that funding goal I hope they add some cool stuff
Looks really good. I’m still confused as to why a kickstarter though
To gather and gauge interest, offer special reward tiers, have more community involvement
The moment I saw this game, I thought “Day 1 buy, baby”; and I don’t usually buy indie games like that!
It looks likes the perfect blend between Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Castlevania 😎
It’s Yacht Club; their debut game Shovel Knight has more than proven their worth.
True enough
Bleah!
I’ll be honest, not a big fan of the graphics. I don’t mind pixel art, but the colors on this do nothing for me.
This screams Oracle of Ages and Seasons. Even the music takes you back. This is definitely a day 1 buy from me.
Me too friend
