Who said a piglet can’t be a hero?
Nif Nif is a Roguelite Deckbuilding game that captivates players with its vibrant graphic style and enchanting fairytale-like atmosphere. However, what intrigued me the most was the story of Masha Mallet, the game director and founder of the indie studio Springfox Games, which is developing this title.
From a young age, she assisted her father, a video game journalist, by testing and reviewing games with him. This resonates with me as it reminds me of my own daughter, who is now six years old and has developed a strong passion for video games, particularly turn-based ones. We often try new games together, and she eagerly describes them to me afterward. But now let’s jump in Nif Nif details.
This Roguelite Deckbuilding is set in an enchanting world where a charming piglet embarks on a mission to save his forest friends from a sinister mud invasion. Players will follow Nif Nif on a heartwarming journey through vibrant and whimsical landscapes. The game’s accessible mechanics ensure that newcomers and seasoned gamers can enjoy its strategic depth.
Utilizing a unique deck of cleaning cards, Nif Nif scrubs, sprays, and polishes the mud-covered animals, restoring them to their happy, fluffy selves. Each card unlocks special techniques and powerful abilities, creating a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience.
Venturing deeper into the forest, players will discover a variety of quirky characters and encounter gooey challenges that require careful deck building and strategic thinking. Special seeds can be collected to cook magical soups, providing temporary boosts that help Nif Nif dodge attacks and rescue his friends. The game’s whimsical art style, heartwarming story, and tricky battles create a delightful and immersive experience.
Nif Nif is a PC game that will launch a Kickstarter Campaign on August 14th, 2024. Below is an overview, screens, and trailer.
Save the Forest with Nif Nif, the piglet who loves to clean!
A mysterious goo has turned friendly foxes, stylish snails, party-loving prairie dogs and more into a mucky mess. It’s up to Nif Nif and his love for adventure and cleanliness to free them from their sticky situations.
A Cozy Roguelike Deckbuilder for Anyone
With your trusty deck of cleaning cards, spray, scrub and polish each animal until they’re goo-free and back to their happy, fluffy selves. As you venture deeper into the forest, discover new cards with special techniques and powerful abilities. But you’ll need to build the right deck to tackle different gooey challenges.
Mmm… Magical Soup
Collect special seeds to grow into soup ingredients. Soups will power up Nif Nif. Cook and use soups strategically to dodge gooey attacks and help goo-trapped animals. But each soup’s effect doesn’t last long, so don’t gobble them all at once.
