Aquaria is a new 2D action-adventure game. It’s the culmination of two years worth of work by Bit Blot, which consists of Derek Yu (artist) and Alec Holowka (programmer, musician). The voice of Naija, the main character, was performed by Jenna Sharpe. The indie scene has been looking forward to this game for practically its entire dev cycle and for good reason…

The game was finally released Friday. I played the demo and it’s just as fantastic as I’d hoped. If you’re a fan of Metroidvania-style games you should definitely give it a try.
