About This Game

Gameplay:

Run, jump, and shoot your way through hand-crafted pixel levels in the tradition of early-90s shareware platformers like Commander Keen, Duke Nukem and Hocus Pocus. Every enemy, projectile, and pickup is rendered in crisp, low-resolution pixel art with synthesized 8-bit-style sound effects.

Features:

  • Retro pixel graphics straight out of the 80s and 90s

  • Back to basics: 36 three sixty degree side-scrolling levels, spread over 4 episodes

  • Smooth parallax scrolling backgrounds unique to each episode

  • Dynamic random weather effects - lots of possible combinations!

  • Unique old school sound effects and genuine MIDI music reminiscent of 80s and 90s games

  • CRT screen filter for that authentic retro experience!

  • Game saving and loading (up to 5 slots)

  • Ascension mode after the main game is completed for hardcore players!
