We partnered with Mega Cat Studios and Programancer to make a brand new back-to-back 8-bit installment featuring the Angry Video Game Nerd!

See how far you can go as you blast through increasingly difficult randomized rooms! Obtain helpful items or debilitating curses from the Game Weenie after every boss kill! And keep your eyes peeled for a hidden boss that only appears in Endless Challenge!
