About the game — TGN editorial note
Rabi-Ribi is a side-scrolling action game from the Taiwanese developer CreSpirit that mixes exploration with bullet-hell boss battles. You explore an island, collect power-ups and uncover secrets, fighting with a hammer while a fairy companion casts spells from range. It was crowdfunded, and despite reaching only half of its goal it still shipped and found a devoted audience.
