Already identified by Metroidvania fans and Speedrunners, Rusted Moss throws the player into frenetic and infernal boss fights, while moving rapidly alongside their rampart through desolate, melancholic landscapes. Easy to learn, hard to master - Rusted Moss offers a challenge and an adrenaline rush, but its accessibility options also allow for a more relaxed approach.
The development team of Rusted Moss is a all-female group consisting of three friends — Faxdoc, Happysquared and Sunnydaze. Enthusiasts of game jams, they met while participating in the GM48 Game Jam, a 48-hour marathon using GameMaker Studio. The team began working on Rusted Moss, built around the “hook” mechanic that Faxdoc had already played, and which everyone thought was fun.
"When we released our demo and saw the reception it received, we were so surprised and thrilled by the support we were getting. It was very encouraging and really pushed us to explore new paths and expand the game in ways our original plans hadn’t anticipated. It began as a development journey of just over a year, when we originally had planned to work on Rusted Moss for only a few months!" The Rusted Moss development team says and continues:
"Player feedback from the demos gave us the confidence and encouragement we needed to help us create the biggest game anyone of us has ever tried to make. Now that the release is just around the corner, even though we’re a small team, we hope our delivery will be able to pay and satisfy those who supported us along the way.
