La-Mulana 2 by original developers NIGORO is taking to Kickstarter to fund the sequel.
"We here at NIGORO believe in the future of the 2D platformer. While 3D games have gained in popularity, we've always wondered where the future of the 2D game could take us.
La-Mulana was a sprawling action adventure game with tons of secrets, items, and difficult enemies. The original was made as a love letter to the 8-bit games we grew up with.
In 2011, we remade the first La-Mulana, remixed areas, and upgraded the graphics to match a more modern 16-bit aesthetic. At that point, La-Mulana was finished, but it's not the end. We can do more.
With your help, we can make the sequel we've always wanted to make, and play a part in helping Japan regain its position as a fundamental part of the gaming world stage."
The campaign is off to a fairly strong start (even if the stretch goals seem very optimistic - up to $2.7 million are listed on the site) with almost 20% of the asked for $200,000 amassed with 32 days to go of the campaign.
