Short Description

MiaMatrix is a 2D top down twin stick shooter fan game. To celebrate the release of The Matrix Resurrections, I made a short fan game recreating the Lobby Scene from The Matrix, but in the style of Hotline Miami.


Further Info

MiaMatrix is the first showcase for the Twin Stick character controller asset I am working on for my commercial release Tsujigiri: a brutal 2D Top Down Melee Combat Game set in feudal japan. Find out more about my main game project here!

With Matrix 4 coming out, it seemed only fitting to put the character controller through a trial by fire by making this fan game! Especially after Zed from Let's Talk Game Design basically dared me to do it... Watch the devlog above for more details!

Nice! I really enjoy the movement mechanics but I do have a question on what the RELOADED mode does? I know that BECOME THE ONE turns the enemies into Agent Smith Mini-Bosses, but does RELOADED simply let enemies reload (but you still cannot reload)?

(+1)

Thanks so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

The Reloaded mode turns all enemies into Agent Smith.

Become the One is actually an “easy” modifier that gives about 3-5 lives to the player / Neo. 

OOOOOOH. Well that's nice 

:)

nice game <3 could only get to wave 6 ahhhh

ooo
