JollyCo :

May, 28 - Malmo, Sweden - Last week the Anima Flux team attended the Nordic Game in Malmo, Sweden. The 20th anniversary edition of Nordic Game Conference from May 21 till May 24 brought many brilliant speakers and attendees from all over the world. More than 2500 attendees on-site, and 157 speakers from different countries - these are the main numbers of the past event. 


 

Anima Flux took part in the speed game pitching, where about 30 gamedev teams had to present their projects during 1 minute. The development team was pleased with a special mention from the hosts, having highlighted Anima Flux's win in Pitch Battle last year. 

During 3 days Anima Flux co-op metroidvania was showcased among other indie gamedev teams from European countries.  
 

Around 50 players enjoyed the game either in single or co-op mode, sharing with their feedback with the team. The major part of the audience noted the key features, which are the visual style of the game and fun co-op mode.

The visuals remind them of old-school games in sci-fi setting combined with cyberpunk elements. This impression is enhanced with the synthwave soundtrack, which intensifies when battles become more intense in face of increasing threats. 
 

As for fightings, it has become obvious that the combat system and controls are easy-to-understand, which proves the comfortable threshold of entry in the gameplay for wide audience. There were many opinions that it would be a lot of fun playing the game together in couch co-op, joking and enjoying the story, visuals, and battles. 
 

Co-op Metroidvania PC/Console game Anima Flux will be released in Q3 of 2024, the Demo is available now on Steam.

Key Features

Co-op Metroidvania

The unusual spin of the genre, turns the classic metroidvania into a fun, couch co-op adventure. Both characters develop differently as the game goes on. Explore the grim locations of the space ark, rescue an ambushed or seriously injured partner. Get challenged by dangerous mutants and build your own boss-fight strategies together with a friend. And the best part is that you can always switch to single player mode if your pal is not around.

A mind-blowing dystopia

The story is set in a highly detailed game world, told in stunning hand-drawn animated cutscenes, and elaborated in dialogs full of irony. Tragic and intriguing fates of the supporting characters will immerse you into the human world of the far future, where moral and ethical issues trouble the mind more than ever. Search for the truth and prepare for incredible twists and turns.

Unique visual style

Through the artistic lens of 80-90 retro sci-fi aesthetics, the game carefully renders a variety of futuristic 2D visuals mixed with the dark cosmic atmosphere.
