Crowdfunding platform Kickstarter continues to be a boon for the development of indie games, with the Metroidvania genre, in particular, having plenty of success on the platform. One of the more recent titles to quickly gain attention and reach its funding goal in just a matter of hours is Fallen Tear: The Ascension from CMD Studios. Prior to Fallen Tear: The Ascension's Kickstarter launch, the game gained plenty of early positive buzz thanks to its eye-catching hand-drawn visuals and silky-smooth platforming and combat, drawing more than a few comparisons to what's arguably one of the great modern Metroidvania titles: Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
