Press release:
Toulouse (France), April 2nd, 2024.
The Toulouse -based (France) indie games developer SoulGame (which is a two-person small studio) today announce with great thrill and delight that their bullet-hell metroidvania “Minishoot’ Adventures“, is now available for PC via Steam at the price of 14,99 EUR | USD.

“Minishoot’s Adventures” is a twin-stick bullet hell metroidvania with the adventurous spirit of the first Legend of Zelda. Fly into a charming handcrafted world that will bring you from the shiny overworld to the deepest caves, improve your ship and overcome the dungeons’ bosses to rescue your friends!

In the developers own words: “We designed a map that would be enticing to discover, similar to a Metroidvania, with lots of connections, shortcuts, secrets, and skills that when unlocked, allow to unfold more paths to explore. All the while facing challenging bullet hell style combat with clean and polished visuals. The ability to drive around the world using a mini spaceship as a living character, allows for fluid navigation overall, making the exploration and backtracking a pleasure instead of a chore. We put all our love for Zelda 1 and shoot’em ups into Minishoot’, we hope you’ll find it interesting!”
