About
Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions is developed by Momo-Pi, an indie game studio led by Rinaldo Wirz, a Swiss artist living in Japan. The culturally diverse studio garnered critical praise with their game, Persephone, and won the “Shueisha Shonen Jump+ Award” at the Google Play Indie Game Festival 2019. Captain Velvet Meteor is the result of Shueisha Games and Shonen Jump+’s first attempt to offer a small studio the full scope of the publisher’s famous manga works.
