Australian developer Jett Williams has announced Metroidvania platformer Moonbrella for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store). A release date was not announced.
“I grew up playing console games and fantasizing about one day making my own,” said Jett Williams in a press release. “So being able to publish them myself is a dream come true. It’s crazy just how much indies can do themselves these days. Seeing the recent response to the game from YouTube Shorts has been mind-blowing. I never expected to pull similar numbers to Megabonk, but here we are.”
