    Just been sent a copy of Haneda Girl, the new game from the developers of Narita Boy, a game I thought was seriously under appreciated, and I don't know if I'll have the time to check it out, but it's got a demo so I thought I'd at least give it a shoutout! store.steampowered.com/app/3169790/...

    Next Fest has a ton of _incredible_ demos for upcoming games but you can also check out demos of incredible games to buy _right now_. For example: Haneda Girl, a sick game from @studiokobagames.bsky.social (of Narita Boy fame)…I had missed it but no longer - it’s awesome. Style to spare, super fun!

    Did a quick run on normal. This game is so delightfully goofy. Don't let the visuals fool you though, this has some simple but great game design. Loved it. Bite-sized compared to Narita Boy and Haneda Girl but another great addition to @studiokobagames.bsky.social 's library. #FutureKnight

    I love Narita Boy! I think the text holds it back a bit. Otherwise, it is a really good game. I play it when I feel like a controller game atm. It is special! #GameDev #NaritaBoy

    I haven't beaten it yet but @studiokobaGAME have done it again. Same universe as another game I love, Narita Boy, but entirely different gameplay. Like many have said, if you have to compare it, it's like Katana Zero meets Celeste. And it's insanely addicting. #HanedaGirl

    Narita Boy. The game is so-so, no one remembers it, but the soundtrack is unfuckingbelievable. Throw Hollow Knight in there as well, and Sayonara Wild Hearts.

    Not the greatest pic, but finished up with Narita Boy. Fantastic game! The last boss was brutal and had me swearing, but worth the effort of learning the patterns. Reminded me of the end of Metroid Dread. The story and the vibe were wonderful. Highly recommended. 🎮

    Narita Boy (2021, Studio Koba) - Back to my pixel art obsession. this game is a love note to 80s cinema and an important reminder of the importance of telling people how you feel about them when you have the chance. The traversal, boss fights, environments and music are all top notch.

    Today I wrapped up a brief action platformer called Narita Boy, a heavily 80s aesthetic Tron-inspired game with a great soundtrack and a strange story. Loved how it comes together in the end, was a fan of the ending particularly nor the missable collectibles. A brief 8 hour adventure in and out.

    Narita Boy- everyone says this game is kinda mid, but everyone also seems to love it. That kind of reaction is always interesting to me- what is it that is endearing? Gotta find out for myself.

    NARITA BOY: Backed this game years before it released and boy was it worth it! A very glitchy action/platformer where you have to save the Digital World from 'Stallions'. Search for secrets, find amazing (!) weapon upgrades, and learn about Narita Boys (emotional) past. And it looks effin amazing!
