Headup Games and Stage Clear Studios announced today that Shiny The Firefly releases today on Steam and comes with a release discount of 25% for the first days ($9.99 / €9,99 / £6.99 afterwards). In addition, the companies have released the launch trailer of their title that can be viewed below.
Shiny the Firefly is described as a challenging platformer, set in an atmospheric, delightful environment. Players control Shiny, a brave firefly, on a quest to find his children who have been scattered all over the mysterious garden, following a terrible accident.
Players will have to master tricky trials and solve demanding puzzles on this odyssey, and they’ll need stealth to protect their children from deadly dangers and to fend off nasty enemies.
“Beside big boss fights, you’ll also encounter many dangerous garden dwellers, such as the stubborn mosquitoes, hungry toads, mischievous plants, sneaky wasps and endlessly long centipedes.”
Enjoy!

I read Shiny and for a moment I though the great studio was back. 🙁
I tried this game and I’m sorry but I’m not feeling it. It’s patently obvious this is a cheap mobile game port…. The UI hadn’t even been changed so it’s not so obvious that this originated for tablets… with stuff such as “tap screen to start”.
The comparisons to pixar are pretty inept too. It doesn’t look nearly that good especially with no antialiasing. Also, it has some of the worst controller support I’ve seen in a unity game yet.
