Springfox Games is excited to announce the launch of its Kickstarter campaign for Nif Nif, a charming roguelike deck builder designed for players of all ages. In this whimsical world, players embark on a mission to rescue adorable creatures trapped in a gooey mess, using their wits and a growing deck of cards to overcome challenges.
The game presents a unique twist on the deck-building genre, focusing on cleaning and restoration rather than combat. With its straightforward mechanics and charming visuals, the game is ideal for families seeking an enjoyable and immersive experience.
What makes it special?
Nif Nif is a game designed with parents and kids in mind. In this family-friendly deckbuilder, players take the titular hero on a journey through the natural world. They use their accumulated cards to compete in a series of encounters. Crucially, these are NOT combat-related. Instead, players are working to clean the flora and fauna of pollution. Think Slay the Spire meets LoddleNaut, wrapped up in a positive and actionable environmental message, and you’re somewhere close.
Springfox is looking to engage with a frequently overlooked audience and has a lot to share about the future of children’s games. It’s important to note that they’re not referring to educational games – the focus is on fun first. If you happen to learn something along the way, that’s an added bonus!
FEATURES
A cosy roguelike deck builder. Clean up the forest, rescue animals, collect powerful cards and refine your deck to master the game’s challenges.
Mmm… Magical Soup. Soups will power up Nif Nif. Grow vegetables, cook and use soups strategically to dodge gooey attacks and help goo-trapped animals.
A Wholesome Wacky World. Immerse yourself in a vibrant and magical world filled with quirky creatures, Easter eggs for parents, and a child-book illustration feel.
Pick up and Play. Springfox Games believes in creating games that are accessible, inclusive, and fun for everyone. Nif Nif embodies this philosophy by offering a delightful and rewarding experience for players of all ages.
This game is created by a team of French developers led by Masha, who is a mother of two. She noticed a lack of suitable strategy games for her children and thought that other parents might have the same issue. This led her to start a game development studio called Springfox Games.
The Kickstarter campaign ends on September 13, 2024, and your support would be extremely valuable in bringing this dream project to life in its full version. If you miss the Kickstarter, the game will be available through Steam at a later date, but you can wishlist it now.
