Step into dreamland in Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass
Electric Airship and Starseed Games have announced that Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass will release on consoles on February 5, 2026. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. This console release adds new levels, improved graphics, a new font, a CRT filter, an expert difficulty mode, new enemies, and other improvements.
A solo creator from Texas has developed Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, a Japanese-style role-playing game loosely based on classic games from the Super Nintendo era such as EarthboundFinal Fantasy V and the Breath of Fire series, with additional inspiration from Yume Nikki. The game follows eight-year-old Jimmy as his dream world is destroyed by an alien entity that threatens his family and the dream itself. To save them, Jimmy goes on a surreal journey, encountering nightmares, exploring strange landscapes and learning to rely on his family while facing his own fears.
The game features traditional turn-based combat with modern elements, as well as a heavy focus on exploration. Jimmy can empathize with monsters, temporarily transforming into them to interact with the world in new ways. Players can also level up these transformations, unlocking stronger abilities and improved stats.
The story is a unique blend of a child's perspective and adult themes, balancing between humor and suspenseful horror. Players can expect a fully-fledged RPG experience that combines emotional storytelling, imaginative gameplay, and the eerie charm of classic JRPGs, wrapped in a dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere.
Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass promises a journey that is at once whimsical, complex and thrilling, inviting players to step into the mind of a child faced with both wonder and horror.
