Independent games developer Petoons Studio is releasing a Kickstarter campaign on June 2nd to fund their new hand-drawn ratoidvania Curse of the Sea Rats for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam.
Curse of the Sea Rats packs all of the best features from the metroidvania genre featuring beautiful 2D hand-drawn animation and 3D environments, combined with unique real-time combat mechanics, and of course, lots of swashbuckling rats!
