Lead developer Jett Williams said the following:

“I grew up playing console games and fantasising about one day making my own.

So being able to publish them myself is a dream come true. It’s crazy just how much indies can do themselves these days. 

Seeing the recent response to the game from YouTube Shorts has been mind-blowing. 

I never expected to pull similar numbers to Megabonk, but here we are.”

Set to release this year, Moonbrella will release for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

For those feeling social, be sure to follow the official Twitter/X, Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube social media channels.
