“We need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes, it’s not
easy.” –Ursula, Kiki’s Delivery Service
Even the title screen throw me back to the movie :)
Mimi’s Delivery Dash is a short game created by Caffinate
for the Movie Game Jam 2018. The game was created in 10 days, which is
impressive for the amount of polish this little game has. I may be a little
biased since Kiki’s Delivery Service was the movie that introduced me to Studio
Ghibli and holds a dear place in my heart. Kiki’s Delivery Service is also the
movie that Caffinate based this game on.
In the movie, Kiki is a young witch who leaves home to begin
her training. She uses her flying abilities to make deliveries for a bakery to
get by, but one day she finds that she has lost her ability to fly. Kiki spends
the rest of the movie trying to find her spirit within to regain the ability
she lost.
Someone has a delivery to be made!
In the game you play as Mimi, and you are making deliveries
on your broom. The controls are simple enough, and you have a select key and a
boost key. I like the various references in the game from the movie also. The
music and sound effects are all very pleasing, and the visuals are beautiful.
Overall, this game gave me a wonderful sense of nostalgia
and made me very happy. I want to go watch Kiki’s Delivery Service now (which I
also recommend)! There is only one level, but I definitely wanted more because
I enjoyed it so much. You can download this little for yourself free from
Itch.io *here*. Let me know what you thought down below! Have you seen the
movie?
Thank you, as always. Until next time!
