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 real MIDI music reminiscent of 80s and 90s games
CRT screen filter for that authentic retro experience!
