Developer Kiyoshi Honda of Wonderland Kazakiri says development took about a week.
Super Froppings started as one minigame inside the already-released indie title Cassette Boy. At Tokyo Game Dungeon 13, Game Spark went hands-on with the standalone version and spoke with developer Kiyoshi Honda of Wonderland Kazakiri.
Honda said development took just over a week. The deliberately rough pixel art keeps costs down, while flashy effects make it look richer. The game is ready to sell, and the team wants to release it as soon as possible, with a price below 1,000 yen. The official site is already up.
The producer is Sohei Shinkawa, the former Nippon Ichi Software president and novelist. Super Froppings is planned for PC via Steam, with a Game Boy version also in the works.
