Sofia the Witch: Curse of the Monster Moon – New Game Boy Color Puzzler Announced by Bitmap Soft

In a remarkable development for retro gaming enthusiasts, Bitmap Soft has announced Sofia the Witch: Curse of the Monster Moon, an all-new Game Boy Color title developed by Jake Macher.

This innovative puzzler marks a rare addition to the platform's modern library, offering both standard and limited edition physical releases for collectors and fans of classic handheld gaming.

Sofia the Witch: Curse of the Monster Moon puts players in control of Sofia, a young witch on a mission to rescue her friends from a mysterious curse that has overtaken the moon.

The game's narrative unfolds across four distinct worlds, each with unique platforming challenges and creative puzzle mechanics.

Despite its streamlined world count, the replay value is significantly bolstered by six alternate endings, a range of hidden bosses, engaging minigames, and secret areas designed to reward exploration. Bitmap Soft has made both a standard and Limited Collector's Edition of the cartridge available for pre-order via their official website.

The standard edition is priced at £50, while the Collector's Edition – retailing at £99.99 – includes an exclusive boxed copy, an art book, collectible trading cards, a themed pin badge, an acrylic character standee, and additional items, all beautifully packaged in a spellbook-inspired box.

Pre-orders for the premium bundle open on October 24th, 2024, and will be available for six weeks or until the capped release of 100 units is sold.

Shipping is projected to commence a couple of months following the conclusion of the pre-order phase. Representatives from Bitmap Soft have emphasized their commitment to supporting the Game Boy Color collector community, stating that bringing fresh experiences to retro hardware is both a challenge and a passion for the team.

The game's developer, Jake Macher, is known for innovative pixel art and engaging gameplay mechanics that cater to both long-time fans of the platform and new players discovering the Game Boy Color for the first time. With physical releases for classic Nintendo hardware becoming increasingly rare, Sofia the Witch: Curse of the Monster Moon stands out as a unique opportunity for dedicated fans and collectors to expand their libraries.

As Bitmap Soft continues to grow its lineup of retro titles, this release underscores the enduring appeal and creative possibilities of the Game Boy Color. For more information, or to secure a pre-order, head to the official Bitmap Soft website.

Retro gaming aficionados should act swiftly, as limited edition units are expected to attract high demand among collectors.
