Reviews

“Raider Kid and the Ruby Chest is a delightful Metroidvania that seeks to evoke the charm of the naive adventures of the Game Boy Color era. At four hours long, the level design is meticulously compact and efficient to make the most of its brevity. Aided by a well-made map and useful mechanics, this fun game maintains a good pace of progression and discovery of secrets.”
80/100 – Game Blast

About This Game

Parental supervision is overrated!

Play as Alex, a kid who’s itching to explore the nearby ruins while everyone else is busy attending a lecture about… rocks?! As a mysterious voice calls you into action, unraveling the secrets of The Ruby Chest becomes the only way to go back home.

A kid walks alongside a cliff in ancient meso-american ruins.

Pocket-sized adventure, giant-sized fun!

Set out across a world filled with tricky puzzles, mischievous enemies, and retro handheld vibes! Leave no stone unturned (or better yet, unbroken) as you earn new abilities, discover hidden passages, and vandalize a priceless landmark in search of donuts and broccoli. Yep, that’s what kids did when they got lost before cellphones were invented.

The kid finds a whip next to a skeleton wearing an explorer gear inside a tomb.

But wait, there is more!

  • Explore over 5 different regions filled with puzzles and bosses

  • Find new equipment to gain game-changing combat abilities and earn access to new areas

  • Enjoy vibrant visuals and catchy chiptune music, true to Game Boy Color palette and sound limitations

  • Collect stickers! Because everything is better with stickers
