Kodansha Launches MOCHI-O Hamster Shooter

• Mochi-O marks the exciting debut from Kodansha Creators' Lab
• Battle sinister robots by controlling an armed hamster protagonist
• Deepen your friendship, enhance your rodent companion, and become humanity's last hope

Labeling Japanese creations as "quirky" has become predictable, but Kodansha Creators' Lab's Mochi-O pushes boundaries in delightfully unexpected ways. This indie gem showcases that perfect blend of unconventional charm and addictive gameplay the developer is known for.

At its core, Mochi-O delivers classic rail shooter action with a twist - your primary weapon is an armed hamster sporting everything from assault rifles to missile launchers. You'll defend Earth against mechanical threats while mastering this unique ballistic rodent combat system.

Beyond shooting mechanics, the game incorporates pet simulation elements. Nurture your Mochi-O companion by feeding sunflower seeds to boost stats and unlock devastating weaponry. Procedural upgrades add roguelike depth to each explosive encounter.

Visionary Design

Created by solo developer Zxima, Mochi-O radiates the authentic creativity of independent development. Kodansha's support gives innovative creators like Zxima a well-deserved platform to showcase their distinctive visions.

The game's nostalgic shooting mechanics paired with its offbeat premise make Mochi-O impossible to ignore. Mobile gamers should mark their calendars for its 2024 iOS and Android release.
