Dhalman is a vibrant love letter to retro Japanese game art and character design

Minnapad Dhalman.

The Japanese game developer Minnapad has launched a kickstarter project for a new Metroidvania game that looks like a stunning tribute to retro Japanese game art. Featuring characters by the former Capcom artist Satoru Yamashita of Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight fame, it's a side-scrolling action and shop management game about a young boy, who dreams of putting his family’s curry shop on the map.

Dhalman is a described as a 'yoga warrior'. He can earn extra cash through fighting tournaments and has to fight numerous bosses to collect special spices. Opponents include the four-armed elephantine Ganesha, Chinese martial artist Mei-Ling, psychic shadow cadet Emilio and electric wild child Little Spark.
