The story

The product

A love letter to late-1980s arcade games: tough, fast, and unapologetically retro. 10 hand-crafted levels with AI-assisted, heavily hand-edited sprites, sophisticated particle effects, authentic late-'80s graphics, music, and sound.

Product judgment

Key decisions

  1. 01

    Two Enemy Types

    Gloops can be crushed by falling objects. Clanky is invincible but can be tricked into zapping Gloops if you time it right.

  2. 02

    Toroidal World

    The map wraps in every direction. Enemies cross area boundaries. Danger approaches from anywhere.

  3. 03

    Gravity + Crushing

    Crush gems by walking into them or letting them fall. Push blocks to create paths and set up gravity chains.
