THE GAME
In this immersive platform & adventure for Game Boy, our main character must rescue his beloved friends from the frightening mind control of an evil creature.
Maki Makulo is designed having adults and children players in mind:
“I made this game with just one goal: A game that my now 7-year-old child can play and have fun as a kid. But with a depth that he will probably only understand when he is an adult.” - PLAY MAKINA
- A captivating story full of values & teachings will push you to advance through the storyline.
- All texts are in UPPER-CASE to help kids who are in the early stages of learning how to read.
- Dying does not hurt; plenty of checkpoints, no lives, quick respawn… while having a challenging gameplay. Because life is hard, but we learn from failing. Failing is the key to success.
- Cutscenes are skippable, and texts can be disabled. In case you want to have a quick play.
- After each rescue, our friend can lend us his powers so that we can use them in the following missions.
- Our reliable sports car will bring us to each mission, where our time to kick some ass will begin by defeating all of our arch-enemy minions.
Who is the girl with green skin that guides us? Why does she seem to know everything beforehand? Should we trust her?
THE MUSIC
The soundtrack of this game is a gameboy remastered version of the best kind of music ever composed by a human being, the kind of music gods listen to when they are observing the hugeness of the universe: CLASSICAL MUSIC.
The soundtrack will make the head of our younger players explode, as before they notice, they will be humming great hits from Ravel, Albeniz, Strauss.. and other great composers.
