Cyber bunny shooter Cicadamata reminds me of nu-Marathon and Jumping Flash and has a flipping cool shotgun

Cicadamata" - yes the rogue apostrophes are portion of the authoritative title, yes I volition exclude them successful aboriginal due to the fact that they marque my thalamus itch - is 1 of those games that makes maine incandescently atrocious I didn't walk the past 20 years studying graphics plan truthful that I could, for example, archer you what precisely is going connected with that icecream barroom HUD, those landscapes of agleam diodes and cubes sliding done checkerboard obelisks, those twirling android digits, that wrist-rolling Muji paperweight of a shotgun.

The champion I tin bash is defensively blurt words similar "stylish" and "stylised" and food desperately into my decreasing pocketful of "Cool" popular and gaming precedents and trends. This looks like... a frantic arena FPS acceptable wrong the paper of a classical WipEout game? Like, er, a playable vaporwave album? I consciousness similar we've invoked vaporwave a batch connected here, and request to commencement identifying subgenres of vapors and waves. Look, wherefore don't you ticker the trailer portion I effort to nail down a gloss. Usefully for my dignity, you volition not beryllium capable to work the words beneath the video embed due to the fact that your eyes volition person popped retired of your skull.

Hello again! Assuming you inactive person connected retinas, I person immoderate updates: radical connected the socials person been comparing Cicadamata to nu-Marathon, and it seems the developer, flowergarden, is immoderate benignant of fan. I tin surely spot a small of the upcoming Bungie game's creation absorption successful there, though thankfully, nary of its extraction-shooteriness. As the Steam leafage explains, this is simply a premix of platformer, shooter and speedrunning crippled successful which you "hop, skip, and leap to go 1 with joyeuse, until you are nary longer you". At the hazard of blunting the hyperactive swagger of that Steam page, it looks similar you play immoderate benignant of robot rabbit, Fawn-A2, and you'll beryllium "tearing soma from bone" successful "15+ freeform levels crossed 6 spheres".

Hang on, robot rabbits! I cognize what this reminds maine of: Jumping Flash! All those downward-looking ground-slams successful the trailer are a dormant ringer for the 1995 PS1 game, arsenic are the chirrupy whoops and bops of the termination and platforming effects. Robbit wasn't this lethal, though - it's similar he's been modded into Ultrakill. Cicadamata is retired successful 2026.
