You could mistake Mina the Hollower for something found on the liquid-crystal display of a Game Boy Color around the turn of the millennium.
Like the pocketable Zelda and Pokémon games of the time, it presents a kind of snow-globe reality that you peer into from above, relying on imagination to decipher each two-colour clump of pixels into a tree, or a skeleton, or a cloaked mouse wielding a hammer twice her size.
This is Mina, our hero: she jumps, she moves at a clip, and she can delve downward into the soil or floorboards, tunnelling underfoot for a moment or two before popping back up, like an inflatable forcibly submerged in a swimming pool.
This is her signature move, perfectly elastic in sensation – the way the released button springs back against your thumb!
