StoryIGDB

Bo is a hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania based in a colorful world of Japanese folklore. You play as a tiny fox spirit that grows from lotus blossom after being blessed by the moon god. Use your legendary bō staff to bounce and move fluidly through a delightfully-demonic east asian fever dream. Use the tight movement and reset system to reach areas efficiently and gracefully or recover chaotically while floundering for footing.

Revenue

Not disclosed

No budget or sales figure has been disclosed. The one public funding number is the February 2022 Kickstarter, which raised $174,999 from roughly 4,000 backers — a campaign whose stretch goal funded the Nintendo Switch port. That is crowdfunding, not a development budget, and no revenue figure exists from any source, official or third-party.
