About the Game



Mirage is a 2D action platformer-shooter game that transports you to a surreal desert world. You play as Ono, a cat; and Vio, his fireball-shooting snake friend. Together, they're on the hunt for treasure!

Traverse mystical desert architecture to explore the world of Mirage across three game levels. Each takes place in a different time, with beautiful art direction and hand-drawn animation! Maneuver your way through difficult jumps and treacherous hazards to reach the end of the ruins. Along the way, you'll encounter strange bird-like creatures called Gobs, who guard the treasure with their lives. Watch out—the Gobs will be angry if you take it, and you'll have to make a daring escape!
