Maki Beast (Ghost Meat)
About
Maki Beast is a fast and frantic rouge-like that puts a twist on the top-down-shooter formula. Pick up and throw anything you can find at enemies to survive the harsh desert. Each playthrough is unique and creative use of all the weapons at your disposal is essential to victory.
The story follows Maki, a cursed soul wandering the desert in search of a legendary flower that can cure the curse.
The inspiration for Maki Beast all started with the music video to Fleet Foxes' "The Shrine / An Argument" and then went in all sorts of crazy directions from ideas that filled my head during road trips through the American West, where I live. It's a combination of a whole lot of wacky stuff but I'm really happy with how it turned out and I hope you enjoy it too! If you like the game, please consider supporting through pay-what-you-want. And please leave feedback, I'd love to hear from you!
