Cinemax and KO.DLL have announced that their fast-paced “jump-dash-run” platformer BZZZT is coming to Nintendo Switch.
The developer has taken inspiration from the ’80s tech revolution in looking to deliver an experience that combines a nostalgic pixel-art look with modern gameplay design.
You play as ZX8000, a tiny robot with a big AI personality who was created in a top-secret laboratory by the inventive Doctor Emily and world-renowned Professor Norbert. Now ready to save the world, you must put an end to the nefarious plans that the evil mad scientist Badbert is preparing to unleash upon an unsuspecting world.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Choose from various difficulty levels, from casual to hardcore, depending on whether you’re a beginner or an expert in platformer games.
- Enjoy insanely precise and intuitive controls that will allow you to do what you want, when you want, and exactly the way you want.
- Test your limits in exciting time challenges.
- Compete with others in either global or friends leaderboards.
- Experience rich environments with ever-changing gameplay mechanics.
- Try surviving and bringing your gameplay style to perfection to get ready for intense boss fights.
- Optional permadeath mode.
- Immerse yourself in the beautiful retro soundtrack made by Martin Linda, the creator of Rytmik Ultimate/Studio.
BZZZT will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Summer 2024.
