Overview

About this game

Moth Ma'am is a 2D pixel art platformer meant to eventually be beatable in a single sitting, like old Mega Man or Sonic games. 

The cryptid community is thrown into chaos when creatures are relocated across the world. Kappa and tengu have become invasive species along the Ohio river. The Loveland Frogman is scared. Mothman is busy doing his living statue routine. It is up to Moth Ma'am to bring peace back to America before humans discover the cryptids.

Abilities

  • Jump- a single leap off the ground

  • Flap- use those giant chicken wings to go higher before you get tired

  • Shoot- those famous piercing eyes can actually pierce your enemies, but only one at a time

  • Air Drill- spin and throw yourself through the air at enemies before you get tired

Swim- just keep moving and flapping and you won't sink

Secrets

Completing hidden tasks will earn you cards that give you lore.

Ranking
