Go mousing with Mina the Hollower

Yacht Club Games of Shovel Knight and SK Dig fame are back in retro-land with the 8-bit Game Boy Color-style, Mina the Hollower

A new mousey-heroine with attitude is set to explore an action-packed adventure, refined for modern systems. Packing an MSX-style soundtrack by chiptune hero Jake Kaufman, modern touches include detailed animation, widescreen visuals, and rock-solid controls.

The blurb says, descend into a frightful world of action-adventure in Mina the Hollower. Take control of Mina, a renowned Hollower hurtled into a desperate mission to rescue a cursed island. Burrow beneath hazards and monsters, whip foes into oblivion, and gear up with an arsenal of sidearms and trinkets. 

Explore a vast world filled with pixel-perfect graphics, masterful gameplay, beastly bosses, and infectious music. Encounter a cast of bizarre characters, search out secrets in an array of exotic locales, and illuminate the omnipresent darkness in Mina the Hollower, a brand new game from the developers who brought you Shovel Knight!

The gameplay sees Mina sees our heroine leap, dodge, and burrow through the ground to battle monsters or navigate the world. She can lash at foes with her trusty whip, Nightstar, one of an arsenal of weapons, each with a totally different move set. Add in power-up trinkets and sidearms, and there's all we need to wade into a huge, dark world brimming with secrets, challenging battles, and interconnected level design

Mina the Hollower was fully funded on Kickstarter in 2024, raising over $1.2 million for development and will hit PlayStation, Switch 2 and other platforms at the end of October. A demo is out now on Switch.
