Following its release on the PC via Steam, platformer Bzzzt is now available for pre-order on the Nintendo eShop for $14.99 USD (or local equivalent), with a release date set for 19 September 2024. Developed by Czech indie developer KO.DLL and published by Cinemax Games, Bzzzt takes players on an adventure set in the year 4096, where they control the tiny yet powerful robot ZX8000 to save the world from the evil scientist Badbert.
Set in a pixel-art world, Bzzzt aims to combine fast-paced platforming mechanics with modern gameplay features. Players must guide ZX8000 through a series of platform challenges, unlocking skills, tackling time challenges, and facing intense boss battles to stop Badbert’s sinister plans.
Key features of Bzzzt, outside of being a very fun video game name to say out loud, 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 friend 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.
