Super Retro Squad

Super Retro Squad is a 2D retro platformer featuring gameplay and characters inspired by classic Nintendo games. You can view the original Kickstarter page for a lot more info about the game.

The game will feature 45+ levels that will be spanned across 9 worlds. Each world will be based on one of the characters, so there will be plenty of variety found in the environments and enemies. There will also be an equipment and upgrade system that will allow you to customize your character’s abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. We also plan on tying everything together with a cool story that will be explained through dialog and cut scenes.

We’re still offering some of the rewards from the Kickstarter through Paypal. They’re listed below.

Rewards

$15 – A digital copy of the full game when it’s released (DRM-free on Mac, Pc, Linux and Steam if accepted), access to the documentary episodes about the development of the game, and access to a private forum with inside info from the developers. You’ll also get your name on the website as a backer of the project, a Super Retro Squad desktop wallpaper, and a silly thank you dance video. To see what you’d be getting, here is a list of current backer updates and a Backer Update RSS Feed. Backer updates are released biweekly.

Please select a tier and enter the email address you used when signing up for the forums in the box. It may take a few days before private forum access is granted because it is a manual process for us. If you still don’t have access after a few days, contact us.

Also, it is possible the documentary might not be made because we have still not seen an episode completed. It is not within our control because it is not made by us. If you decide to back the project, do it for the game, not the documentary.
