About Mirai #167
Mirai #167 is a 2D pixel-art platformer from Orangenap Studio that dropped on December 31 2026. It’s the kind of game that grabs you with its split-screen mechanic, controlling two characters at once while flipping time and slinging portals. The story? Humanity’s in trouble because AI went rogue and you’re racing to fix it. The art is crisp retro-style pixels and the vibe is nonstop action. It’s not just a runner though, you’ll upgrade abilities and tackle levels with tricky rewinds. Perfect if you like high-speed problem solving and don’t mind getting frustrated.
Gameplay
The core loop is chaos. You toggle between two characters mid-jump and rewind time to correct mistakes. Portals let you shortcut obstacles but require precise placement. Each level throws shifting hazards at you, collapsing platforms laser grids, and you’ve got to chain rewinds with portal jumps to survive. The controls are tight but managing two characters adds a layer of complexity. Sessions are short bursts of intensity, most levels take 3-5 minutes but retries are common. Upgrades unlock new abilities like extended rewind duration which slightly eases the grind. The real challenge? Balancing speed with precision without letting either character hit a dead end.
What Players Think
Mirai #167 holds an 8.6/10 on PlayPile with 85% of players hitting 100% completion. Average playthroughs last 12 hours but 78% of players report mixed moods, happy when beating a level stressed during retries. Community reviews highlight the “brutal but fair” difficulty with one user calling it “a pixelated stress test.” Completion rates drop sharply after Act 3 where dual-character puzzles ramp up. 45 achievements are hidden including a rare “Rewind the Entire Timeline” unlock. 15% of players say the time-rewind mechanic gets repetitive after 8 hours. Critics praise the visuals but note the lack of multiplayer options as a missed opportunity.
PlayPile's Take
This game is a tough love letter to platformer purists. If you thrive on tight controls and don’t mind respawning dozens of times it’s worth the $29.99 price tag. The 45 achievements add replay value but the third-act difficulty spike might push some players away. Best for fans of Spelunky or Celeste who enjoy punishing but rewarding mechanics. Skip it if you prefer relaxed exploration or can’t handle repeated failures. The split-screen design is genius but only for those with patience. It’s not a casual pick, this is a game that demands your focus and rewards it with pixel-perfect satisfaction.
