SHRED THE SEAS! 2D PLATFORMER ‘SEAFROG’ COMING SOON TO STEAM

Hop shuvit and rail grind into this new colorful 2D platformer  

Seattle, Washington, 7th November 2024 | Previous winner of the 2022 IGN Rogue Jam, Tyler Maitland from OhMy Me Games, is proud to announce his debut title, Seafrog. Aye, aye! You just sunk rock bottom, sailor! Dive into the vibrant world of Seafrog, where all ages can enjoy the thrill of skateboarding merged with the classic 2D platformer genre. Play as an adorable trainee frog mechanic alongside your companion, Captain Woodsbeard. After walking the plank of your previous ship, you find yourselves adrift in the depths of the ‘ol legendary Sea Hole. Your only chance of survival is to repair derelict ships, solve tricky contraptions, and gather fuel to save yer hinds!

Catch Serious Air!

Ahoy! Wipe away that elbow grease and get ready to put your trusty rocket-powered wrench to the test! Every ship is your ultimate skatepark. Use a simple auto system to perform unique midair tricks, such as the stalefrog, 360 ribbit, and nostril grab. String unique trick combinations to fill up your boost meter, granting you a special power to access hard-to-reach items. Swing into leaky bolts for repairs to gradually power up further hulls on the upper decks, and top off your combos with a manual for extra points. Rely on your handy C-Star navigator to seek the ship’s corridors, ensuring you collect all items in every map location, opening up further world progression. Gather enough barnacles to fuel your ship, then strap in to launch from a cannon, bouncing off to other ship locations! 

Wrench-tastic Enhancements

Throughout your exploration, although appearing friendly, evil sea creatures will appear in many different shapes and sizes. Carefully outmaneuver enemies through laid traps to prevent them from stealing items. If they do, lay down some heavy metal, grinding them into the ground to retrieve any stolen barnacles. Latch onto ladybugs to replenish health. During your adventure, unlock up to three different mag upgrades to clear your path and collect up to twenty-four different mod chips to equip your wrench for overall stat improvements. Freely customize your ride with mod chips to better match your playstyle at any time. For a more relaxed experience, equip a wellness mod chip to enhance your health, or crank up the challenge with a speed-enhancing mod chip that boosts your speed at the cost of lowering your health. Be cautious when fine-tuning your wrench, as over-tuning can negatively impact your stats. 

Imaginative Story Telling

Land ho! Gradually uncover the tall tales of the sea across three unique story chapters. Battle vengeful Viking ghosts aboard the Sea Worm. Dig in for a tasty meal aboard the Chunky Chacken where you’ll come to discover a man-eating chicken outbreak. Finally, get ready for some monkey business at Simian Textile Inc.— an abandoned sweater factory run by an unexpected crew of apes causing all the ruckus. Each chapter beholds an Ultimate Master Gear, guarded by an ultimate boss. Live to tell the complete legendary tale of the mysterious Sea Hole by kick-flipping your way through each boss and obtaining all the master gears!

Gameplay Features:

  • Wholesome colorful cast of characters
  • Bounce from ship to ship: Use your C-Star navigation device to achieve 100% item collection in every map location
  • Flexible playstyle suitable for all ages: Adjust for relaxed play or crank up your gear for a more difficult challenge 
  • Modchip upgrade system: equip up to 24 different chips to boost overall stats
  • Discover over 100 hidden Snakestones, with a stone to find in every single room. 
  • 3 Master Gears to collect through lighthearted story arcs with boss battles

Leap across the pages of a live comic book in Comix Zero – a frenetic ‘comixvania’ platformer with Soulslike elements

Explore a non-linear 2D open world, coming to PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch

Kharkiv, Ukraine – 6 November 2024 – Bear Games is today proud to announce Comix Zero – a Soulslike open-world platformer set on the pages of an action-packed live comic book. Players must survive in a world where every fight is a struggle and every joke has a punchline. You’re not a hero. You’re nobody. You’re Zero.

Drawing inspiration from legendary titles such as Elden Ring, Comix Zone and Super Metroid, Ukrainian studio, Bear Games, has added a unique twist to Comix Zero’s action role-playing elements by introducing a world that comes alive across the pages of a comic book.

Players need to physically “break through” the boundaries between the sides of the panels and take down enemies who lose colour instead of health. Zero might be in the fight of his life, but he takes it all in his stride with the timely use of adult humour and Deadpool-style quips as he slays his way through across each page.Comix Zero brings together an active open world ripe for exploration, a meticulously-crafted role-playing mechanic, and a dynamic story with sudden changes in events.

The game’s aesthetic harkens back to the ‘dark fantasy’ themes made popular in the early 2000s, mixing the immediacy of Comix Zone with the meticulous attack pattern requirements of modern Soulslike games such as Elden Ring.

Zero is an unsuspecting hero-in-the-making from Earth, who is inadvertently spirited away to a vicious, mythical world populated by ancient gods and ruled by merciless slavers. His plan is simple: save the world, win back his wife’s heart, return to Earth.

In this role you’ll appreciate a beautiful, but unforgiving open world, overcome a multitude of opponents in epic battles and uncover many secret places as you leap between the pages of each comic landscape.

Key features

  • Play on the pages of a comic book A dazzling array of comics will spring to life right on your screen. Each scene unfolds over several pages, with everything comic fans love: panels, speech bubbles, onomatopoeia (POW! BAM! BANG!), author text, and more…
  • Non-linear open world Go where you want – but be careful, because the world is full of dangers. Comix Zero combines elements of metroidvania with a truly open world that’s easy to get lost in – so draw yourself a map!
  • Fights and dying Being immortal has its advantages, but mastering your skill set is crucial. Comix Zero’s combat system is focused on thinking through strategy, evaluating opponents’ weaknesses, and combining different types of attacks — you won’t be able to blindly poke buttons here…
  • Your very own Zero Customize Zero’s abilities and gear to suit your own play style. Drink potions brewed from defeated bosses, craft powerful artifacts, complete quests from NPCs, and earn rewards.
  • True dark fantasy A brutal world where ancient myths are intertwined with humanity’s insatiable love of war, and where magic is created by human blood on human skin. Each side of the conflict has its own motivations and allies, and you’re right in the middle of the action, caught in the crossfire.
  • Jokes – to the point and not so much Comix Zero’s narrative is full of multifaceted characters, political intrigue, morally ambiguous choices, and traumatic experiences. Unsure of whether this is all some kind of twisted dream Zero doesn’t hold back with his dubious sense of humor.

About Bear Games

Bear Games was founded in Ukraine in 2002 by a professional e-sportsman. The team has more than 20 years of game development experience and more than 50 projects of various styles and genres in its portfolio. Comix Zero is the studio’s first large-scale game for PC, in which the developers have invested all their years of experience.
