I had the opportunity to play Miracle Mia at Super Smash Con. Since playing it, I've been anxiously awaiting for it to come out. It's charming and fun, and it feels really good.

How Metroidvania is it? Not a Metroidvania. It has some Metroid-like upgrades as you progress through the game, and some health upgrades hidden within the levels, but besides that it's a strictly linear platformer with no backtracking.


Miracle Mia has a great concept with a lot of potential, but lack of polish on the physics makes it too easy at its best and frustrating at its worst.

Miracle Mia has been a real joy. Intuitive game play and good control mechanics. It has a good balance between fun and challenge. Never frustrating. Graphics are pretty and easy on the eyes. Good soundtrack. 5/5 stars.

I bought this game because Diwa de Leon worked on the sound design and it was a good purchase. This platformer has good controls and a nice, distinct art style. The music is also nice, especially for a certain epic boss battle. That fight and the music that goes with it were awesome. My compliments to Sonik.

And you, you should pick this game up.

A friend of my once said " it is ok to pay 1€ for 1h play time" with this game it couldn't be more true. Cute artstyle, fast but not to fast combat system and a story which you understand without the need to gather 10x pages in each level.

It's cute! It's a shame this little game hasn't received more traction. It lacks the polish of a bigger studio or something, but it has a lot of heart. Nice aesthetic, solid gameplay, and a challenge that will take you off guard if you're not careful. The characters are likable and the world interesting. Not a long game by any means, but it'll provide some pleasant entertainment. Definitely give this one a look!

Been waiting for this game for many an Otakon; I was glad to be able to play it after so long and impressed by how it turned out. The main thing I love about this game is the pacing: it felt really great in all aspects. The game kept introducing new mechanics, spectacles, story beats and bosses constantly, never letting you go bored. The difficulty had a good curve to it as well with it starting out relatively high: this isn't a game you're just gonna autopilot through, so don't let the cute graphics lull you into a fall sense of security about that. Speaking of the cute graphics, I was surprised that the story got pretty dark at times. The moves and upgrades you earn were well-thought out as well: they always have multiple uses, like how the double-jump isn't just a jump, but a great spin move that can defensively reflect projectiles.

To sum it up, this is like a cute Contra with some metroid-style upgrades: it keeps you on the edge of your seat with cool bosses, spectacles and set pieces and doesn't let up.

It's a fun game to play I did not think I would like it, and I do a lot. I went out of my comfort zone in Indie games to play this, and I'm glad that developer emailed me asking me to try this game and give it a review. I am really enjoying playing it. Its a game I will play when I want to but don't want too, if you can understand that. The full review of the game is on my blog which I will link below. But yeah it's a game that if you are looking for something new to play. Pick it up. It's fun and I am having a blast playing it.

Difficulty/Audience:
This is a game for casual to adept gamers the difficulty begins easy, but slowly increases as it eases you into new abilities throughout the story.

Graphics:
The graphics style reminds me of an Adobe Illustrator aesthetic where the important main cast of characters have a very rounded design, and the various minions have a very blocky and angular design.

Story Structure:
The story is very linear and simple, but that's fine because for the most part in platformers I’m more attentive of the core gameplay instead.

Gameplay/Favorite Bits:
The gameplay is enjoyable, a fun game to play to cooldown.
Two of my favorite part of the game was using the group attack (Y) ability since it gives you a bit of momentum when you use it. making it fun to chain together and get through levels quickly.
The second is how the level design gives you options to tackle obstacles. An example could be that you could either hit back projectiles of dodge them then smack the enemy with your racket.

tl:dr:
Fun easy game to play through with a simple story.

Beautifully designed game with a compelling story. A immersive yet challenging game. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates an artistic game filled with hours of amazing music.Yes... the MUSIC is really good! Highly recommend getting this game!
