About the Game

Explosively fast platforming action!

Bounce, pounce, and slide your way through fast-paced levels as Chaz, the radioactive cheetah! This retro platformer inspired by the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog and Jazz Jackrabbit features a high skill ceiling, crispy pixel art, and a bangin’ MIDI-styled soundtrack.

Chaz receives an invitation to the Lynx Kingdom’s royal banquet, but when he arrives, he discovers that the evil Edward Eagle has taken Luna the Lynx Princess hostage, and wants the entire kingdom as ransom. Our unlikely hero stumbled into the Lynx castle at just the wrong time, and with the king too scared to act, it looks like Chaz is gonna have to defuse Edward’s scheme himself.

Nuclear Cheetah combines time attack platforming with a collect-a-thon progression system. Play through and master challenging stages, earn power orbs to unlock new areas of the castle, and save the princess; all while uncovering the story of how a once mild-mannered cheetah transformed into a green gangsta who eats toxic waste for breakfast.

Have a blast zooming through levels, chill out in the castle, and save the princess, along with the entire Lynx Kingdom. But whatever you do… don’t blow up!
