A really nice and short game that remembers some classics games from the past. The pixel art is gorgeous, and the soundtrack really makes you travel to the past. The games are fun and I wish that there were more games. There is an emotive history to tie the games. We can see that the developers really worked with passion in this game.
Cant really recommend. Its kind of cool, but the story goes no where and it only feels like is 50% complete or something. Could have been an awesome story and wonderful nostalgia dive but falls short of anything more than the art for me.

Really good!
Fantastic. Each section is challenging enough to be engaging, but doesn't over stay its welcome. I especially loved the last stage. The music is brilliant. It's short, but that's fine by me. I completed it in 2x two hour sessions (I died in the shooter stage 8 million times) I love this so much
I enjoyed it for what it was, but the game isn't worth $10. I received it as part of humble bundle many years ago. I finished it within an hour and a half. The game tells a story that never takes off, comprised of slices of knock-offs of games made popular during the 80's. The games only last long enough to end once you find your stride. There's not enough here for etiher gameplay or story.
Great aesthetic and music, you already know if this is your kind of thing from the store page.
WOW! Totalnie nie spodziewałem się tak dobrej rzeczy. Kapitalna muzyka! Niesamowita nostalgia wraca kiedy gra się w kolejne tytuły. Natomiast to co najbardziej mnie zaskoczyło, to narracja. Genialna produkcja.
Great game, I bought it on a whim and went in blind. I really liked the variety of gameplay, art style, and music. When it came down to shadowplay level, I can not get past it for the life of me. IDK why that level is so difficult for me....
it's a short yet really fun game. There's a nice story and in between the story you get to play cool nostagia-inducing arcade-style games. Each mini-game was different and they were all super fun. I do wish we got to see more of that beat-em-up at the beginning, it was cut super short by a pretty boring and long cut scene. I'm glad I stuck around because it does get better after that. The art style is really beautiful. I especially found myself admiring the background passing me by during the driving mini-game. However, I really didn't appreciate that the story was left on a cliffhanger with "to be continued" but it's been 7 years with no sign of anything being continued. The story was just getting started and it was abruptly cut off just like that beat-em-up mini-game. It felt like I played a demo rather than a full blown game, especially with how short it is and because the story never goes anywhere.
