"Kodansha Launches MOCHI-O, a Hamster-Themed Shooter"

Author : Amelia Update:May 15,2025

Mochi-O, the latest offering from Kodansha Creators' Lab, is set to redefine the indie gaming scene with its unique blend of charm and action. This upcoming release introduces players to a world where they must defend against evil robots, not with conventional weaponry, but with an adorable, gun-wielding hamster named Mochi-O.

In Mochi-O, you'll dive into the exhilarating world of a rail shooter, where the objective is clear: blast your way through enemy robots to save the world. What sets Mochi-O apart is the unconventional choice of weapon - a hamster equipped with an arsenal ranging from rifles to rocket launchers. This quirky twist adds a delightful layer of fun to the gameplay.

Beyond the shooting, Mochi-O incorporates virtual pet elements, allowing players to nurture and strengthen their bond with Mochi-O. By feeding the hamster seeds and unlocking new weapons, players can enhance Mochi-O's abilities and increase their trust status. Additionally, the game spices things up with roguelike elements, providing random upgrades that keep each battle fresh and exciting.

Developed by the solo creator Zxima, Mochi-O embodies the raw, indie charm that fans of the genre adore. As part of Kodansha Creators' Lab, an initiative by the renowned manga publisher, Zxima's work gains the visibility it deserves, showcasing the potential of indie developers within the gaming community.

With its quirky tone and nostalgic rail shooter mechanics, Mochi-O is poised to capture the attention of gamers looking for something unique. Set to launch on iOS and Android later this year, Mochi-O promises to be a delightful addition to the indie gaming landscape.
