About the Game

Game Overview

Cham the Cat's thirst for treasure and adventure knows no bounds! Fight off a wide variety of enemies as you perilously make your way through each classic handheld game inspired level. Collect all the keys hidden in each level to challenge the hidden bonus level! Can you uncover the mysterious secret boss?

The first game of the Game Buddy series that aims to faithfully recreate the look, sounds, and feel of classic late 80's handheld games in a way that's like experiencing an alternate timeline of gaming history.

Gameplay

Punch with the attack button or stomp enemies to defeat them. Collect hearts to power up Cham's punch into a long range whip attack and increase her ability to take hits!

Hold down the attack button to run if you need to make a speedy get away or need extra momentum for those long dangerous jumps! Search the stages for hidden keys and power-ups and try to take advantage of the shmup style bonus stages!

Game Features

  • Classically challenging retro style platforming gameplay
  • Includes modernly convenient save system and mid stage checkpoints
  • Bonus stages, unlockable bonus level, and various hidden secrets throughout
