Why it matters
Splashteam's follow-up to Tinykin mixes shop management with top-down action, and the cheek-pouch mechanic ties the two halves together by making the same sweets serve as menu items and ammunition.

Players control Alva, a squirrel rebuilding his family's ruined candy shop in the treetop village of Acolnia, plating sweets for customers on the surface and firing them at evil spirits inside the dark dimension Duramen.
Arc System Works is handling the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Acolnia: Mirror World, while Dotemu and The Arcade Crew publish the PC and Xbox Series X|S releases. The price is undecided.
Alva's bottomless cheek pouches hold the sweets at the center of both loops. In Acolnia he plates them for customers; in Duramen he fires them as bullets at evil spirits. Running out of ammo lets him swallow enemies whole and reuse them.
Rebuilding the village runs on ingredients. Farming and animal husbandry supply the components for new sweets, and hiring staff automates store work so stronger menu items, which double as weapons, can be developed. Funds and materials come from purifying spirits in dungeons.
