Best Buds busting 16-bit chops in 2016

Super Icon graced the Vita with the charming Life of Pixel, a jolly romp through the eras of computer and video gaming. Their new project is Best Buds vs Bad Guys which has a more 16-bit feel to it. Only early visuals so far, but the game will hit PC first, then Vita and other formats in 2016.

  • Dozens of varied enemies to fight, fresh from the imagination of a ten year old boy, with epic boss battles to test your skills and determination
  • 20 different worlds, rendered in 16-bit arcade pixel art style – travel to a secret enemy base, a Cliffside fortress, a terrifying cemetery, an ancient castle, a colourful toy world, the super sweet candy land, a floating rock city, mushroom town, a glittering ice palace, a spooky haunted house, an abandoned space station, a neon futuristic city and skate park, and finally to Doctor Jushaan’s lab in Hell!
