'Neko Ghost, Jump!' Early Access Update Adds New Game Mode, Enhanced Controls, New Mechanics And More

by Rainier on March 1, 2022 @ 6:43 p.m. PST

Neko Ghost, Jump! is a puzzle-platformer that utilizes the unique mechanic of switching between a side-scrolling 2D perspective and a full 3D one.

Nekoworld is a peaceful and fun-loving world inhabited by the Neko creatures. Nekoman has decided to settle down and marry the girl of his dreams but on the day of their wedding, Nekoworld is suddenly invaded by Space Dog Pirates! The flea-ridden foes abduct not only Nekoman’s bride-to-be, but all of his family and friends. It’s up to the player to help Nekoman defeat the Space Dog Pirates and save all of Nekoworld!

Traversal in Nekoworld will require players to utilize each perspective wisely and challenge their reflexes to quickly change between 2D and 3D to solve puzzles.

Not only will players have to effectively change camera perspectives, they will also be able to switch between Nekoman’s physical form and his ghost form. Ghost form is used to attack enemies, as well as solve some environmental challenges.

Once you think you’ve mastered the perspective-changing and ghost form mechanics, it’s time to test your skills against other players in each level’s time-trial leaderboard.

Neko Ghost, Jump! has received its first major Early Access (Steam and Epic Games Store) update.

To begin with, this update implements a brand new game mode, Ironcat, where players only get 9 lives to finish the whole game -- if they run out of lives, their savefile is deleted! It also brings enhanced game controls, a cleaner and easier-to-understand user interface, and new combat mechanics to make the game deeper and more engaging with new combat moves (Ground Pound, 360º Attack and Rolling). Finally, this update also implements new wardrobe sets and animations for the main character, as well as several bug fixes and smaller quality-of-life additions.

FIRST MAJOR UPDATE - NEW FEATURES

  • New combat improvements.
  • New UI.
  • Improved character controls and additional options for players to tweak those controls to their liking.
  • New wardrobe sets, including The Cupid!
  • Bug fixing.

Key Features:

  • Switch between 2D and 3D to change the world's perspective, avoid obstacles, defeat enemies and reach walls and platforms that will help you overcome more than 40 levels in 8 biomes.
  • Customise your cat with hundreds of accessories.
  • Transform into ghost form to beat enemies, reveal hidden loot, and reach inaccessible platforms.
  • Show the world you are the fastest cat in the game's leaderboards.

Neko Ghost, Jump! is coming to PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) in 2022.
