Publisher Indiegamesjapan announced Macho Scooping<\/strong> by the indie developer NEOLAVI. The game is planned to release in the first quarter of 2024 for the PC (Steam) and will be available in English and Japanese.\u00a0

\"Macho<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Macho Scooping is a game in which you scoop mini macho dudes out of a water tank. It is inspired by the traditional Japanese goldfish scooping game, in which you need to carefully and quickly transfer goldfish from a tank into a bowl using a thin paper scooper that easily tears. Macho Scooper puts a twist on things by replacing goldfish with a variety of goldfish-sized beefy guys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machos \u201cenergetically\u201d swim around the tank, and the goal is to catch as many of the muscular specimens as possible during a limited time. The game supports online PvP for up to 4 players, which means you can enjoy the activity with friends, much like the traditional goldfish version. Macho Scooping will also have a leaderboard ranking up players by their total number of machos caught.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Macho<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, as you capture new species of macho, each specimen will be documented in a detailed encyclopedia that describes their biological traits as well as personalities. You will essentially be creating a Macho Collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The developer of Macho Scooping, NEOLAVI, has previously released the action game Macho Spinner<\/a>, in which you participate in spin battles using Machos whose lower bodies have been altered into cone shapes for maximum spinning capabilities. It seems NEOLAVI are working on developing their macho portfolio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
