Developed by ex-emulation author zsKnight comes this simple yet fun fast-paced 8-bit style retro based game played through a board game like progression with speed running vibes.

The game starts off by randomly picking a few games from your current unlocked collection of games. You will then play each game for about 10 seconds before it switches to the next game. Each time you return back to the same game, you will continue where you last left off. In the last round of each game, the game runs at 2x the speed!

The more you play, the more score you accumulate as experience points and the more you level up. Each new level introduces either a new game or a boss battle, with some existing games getting harder with new content.

Features:

  • Solo developed game. Designed, coded, drawn, and composed by zsKnight.

  • Simple, yet fun and addictive game design

  • The early access build will include 16 classic retro style games with more to come

  • Representing multiple genres including racing, platformer, adventure, RPG, shoot 'em ups, and more!

  • Random generation algorithms in all games so they will feel different each time you play.

  • Unique boss battle where you battle the boss while constantly switching between different game genres every few seconds until you deplete its hit points.

  • Split screen local competitive multiplayer. Who reigns retro supreme!? Play each other side by side with the same randomly picked game sequence order and with the same random deterministic values for fairness. At the end of the multiplayer session, you can also see a breakdown on how you both did on each separate game against your opponent. Local multiplayer unlocks at level 2.

  • Daily challenges! In the daily challenge mode, there will be a new challenge every day with a fixed sequence of games and fixed random deterministic values that you can replay to get the highest score. Daily challenges unlocks at level 5.

  • More games will be added and included free in future updates. The price will increase as more games are added, so buy early while the price is low!

  • Many secrets and easter eggs to be discovered!

Future Plans

First will be the release of the early access build with 16 classic retro style games ready for you to play. It will then continue to grow from there with new game segments and bosses released on a regular basis as long as there is an active community. Once there is a good amount of games, more levels will be added to each of the previously created games. The previously created games will also be updated with new content.

There are other features planned such as leaderboards, custom play mode, and online play. These modes will be implemented depending on the growth of this game in addition to the number of concurrent players for online play.

My long term plan - the 100 Level challenge

The current ultimate goal is to build at least 100 levels, which means that if I reach this goal, there will be over 100 games and boss battles. Every single game I build is critical to the core of the game, so I'm going to make sure that each one them is as fun as possible. The fun improves with more games available as you never know which set of games you will get each time you play solo or with an opponent. Although this target isn't a guarantee, it will be much more achievable with a strong user community as I'm hoping to hear a lot of great ideas and feedback there, so help spread the word about this game and help contribute in order to help make this game better and better!
