!CONTENT WARNING!
GiggleForce features a lot of crude humor, adult subject matter, and material that may be offensive to some. There is no shame whatsoever in being uncomfortable with this sort of content, although I would advise against playing GiggleForce if this sounds unpleasant to you.



GiggleForce is a parodic commentary on the "quirky Earthbound-inspired RPG" subgenre: playing off the conventions of the subgenre to deliver an experience that aims to be both funny and purposeful. The visual similarities are definitely intentional!
Players assume the roles of four people unwittingly tasked with preventing the birth of the antichrist and the subsequent "remix" of the universe:


Guy Parker- equipped with an assortment of spoons of varying combat-effectiveness and strange powers known as kinesis, Guy is otherwise a painfully dull, boring-looking man. Your journey begins when Guy is made redundant from his job at Quirk Co: a struggling plug and play company. Now jobless and in immense medical debt, Guy trudges through his off-colour journey in search of a way to get back to work.
Dani Shale- an intensely materialistic woman, Dani is a boxing-obsessed reformed stripper dogmatized by a strange cult known as "Gameology". Dani possesses the same strange kinesis powers as Guy, and holds immense respect for fame and physical strength.
Jickie Choon- years of movie stunt work has led Jickie Choon to retire early. Although he has a strong sense of justice, Jickie's not the greatest when it comes to confrontation, but is able to perform wicked stunts to damage his opponents.
Jeffrey Pilkington- Jeffrey was once a notorious serial killer: driven mad after being desensitized to blood and violence by crude internet websites and violent video games. Official records state he died trying to escape a maximum security prison, though rumor has it this was an elaborate cover-up.

...But if you don't like the names, you can always change them if you like!

Throughout your journey, you'll cross paths with video game-obsessed cultists, joking ostriches, ghetto aliens, drug cartels, exotic beasts, and other obtuse off-colour characters.
At the core of the game, however, is a story that about the perils of blind imitation and fandom culture.

Features:
> Over 6 hours of RPG gameplay
> Original artwork
> An almost entirely original musical score
> Shitloads of movie parodies
> Some outlandish and hopefully funny scenarios
> Rewritable character names

Everything represented on this page as of now is a work in progress, and is subject to change.

GIGGLEFORCE FAQ

RELEASE / DEVELOPMENT
Q: When will the game release?
A: At the moment, there is no set release date. September 2027 is just a placeholder until I can figure out something more realistic.

Q: Will this game be released on platforms like Steam? How much will it cost?
A: Nope, only Gamejolt. The game will be freeware.

Q: Where can I follow this game?
A: I post monthly updates on the game in the Unique Indie RPGs Discord server.
I'm going to try to post at least one screenshot every other week or so on Twitter, though as GiggleForce is largely a comedy game I might go dark on occasion when I work on sequences that are better experienced blind.

GAMEPLAY / GAME DESIGN
Q: Can you rename the party members?
A: You can! At the beginning of the game, you are able set unique names for all four party members, as well as a few words that appear in dialogue ala the favorite food/thing in Earthbound.
There are a few names that players cannot change however, like character surnames and temporary party members.

Q: How long is the game going to be?
A: It's easily one of the biggest games I've ever approached, though it's hard to say for certain right now. I'd guess about 5 hours, maybe more?
Structurally its very different from Beetle Ninja and Where the Moon Goes At Night, so its hard for me to say.

Q: How bad is the "crude humor and adult subject matter"?
A: It's hard to really give specifics without spoiling some of what I consider the game's best moments, but personally, I feel like it's about on par with something like Da Ali G Show.

Q: Did you make all the graphics for this game?
A: Nope! This time I'm working several other artists to bring the world of GiggleForce to life, including: luok, Roverkibb, Topple, and pommisc. While I still do most of the in-game pixel art, having a team of artists has allowed me to spread the burden of this project's scope.
Ciao is also helping out with some enemy designs.

MISC
Q: I thought you were working on a sequel to Beetle Ninja? When is that coming out?
A: Admittedly, Beetle Ninja 2 was mostly born out of the over-enthusiasm I had for the original game. As of now, I consider the game to be cancelled, though some elements of BN2 will make their way into Giggleforce.

Q: Who's who?
A: Guy is the man in blue with the yellow tie, Dani is the red-haired girl in the yellow jumper, Jeffrey is the guy with the metal mask, and Jickie's the guy with the boxing glove and the wifebeater.

Q: Is this set in the same universe as Beetle Ninja or Where the Moon Goes at Night?
A: GiggleForce is very much a separate continuity from my earlier games. Beetle Ninja does appear in the game.... kind of.

Now, this is interesting.
A parody game, parodying a game that is a parody game of the USA culture of the mid 80's to mid 90's, or as we know it, the hipster parody epoch.
Cool stuff!

This promise to be fun!

Hope to see a demo soon!
Looks like a lot of fun! I really liked Beetle Ninja and Where the Moon Goes at Night, so I'm looking forward to this one, too.

I would say its more a parody of many of the general tropes quirky Earthbound-inspired RPGs tend to follow in the same way that Conker's Bad Fur Day was a parody of the general tropes most 3D collect-athon mascot platformers tend to follow.

Yeah, its what i tried to say, but forgot to add another parody to the sentence :P
Anyway, its time for a very adult oriented parody that goes over the top in it quirckyness.
Hope it delivers with plenty of satire, humor and laughs.
From recent years, the only game that make me LMAOTTF was ''Tales of the Drunken Paladin'', but it was inspired on a more medieval setting.
So a satirical take on a satirical intended games that made possible the rise of plenty of satiricaly inspired games sureley will be the post post-ironic humor i was searching for.
But, please, without Bubsy.
