## What is RetroBoy?

Put on the shades. See the truth.

RetroBoy is a handcrafted retro action platformer where a single tap flips the entire world between modern HD and raw 8-bit reality — changing the art, music, physics, abilities, and even the paths you can take.


Nemo's world is a lie. His shades reveal the 8-bit code hidden underneath — and inside the code, he becomes more powerful. Run faster, jump higher, double-jump, and ride walls.

But Nemo can only stay in the 8-bit world while his energy lasts. When the bar empties, reality snaps back to HD. Grab energy pickups to recharge, then switch at exactly the right moment — platforms, doors, enemies, and entire secret rooms can exist in one reality but not the other.

Master both worlds to uncover the truth.

FEATURES

• Two realities, one tap — transform every level between modern HD visuals with full 3D character models and chunky 8-bit pixel art
• 6 handcrafted levels — explore server rooms, neon rooftops, a towering corporate HQ, the corrupted Glitch Zone, the Architect's core, and a final trip to the other side
• 5 boss battles and a boss-rush finale — with skippable intro cinematics
• Secrets everywhere — 12 hidden rooms behind mode-exclusive doors, 27 data fragments, and 12 elusive pigeons
• 3 weapons to master — fists, an energy blaster, and a laser sword
• 28 upgrades earned through play — spend the chips you collect on new powers, all the way up to the Mech Suit
• Built for replayability — 18 stars to earn, Normal / Hard / Brutal difficulty, and New Game+ prestige runs
• A synchronized dual soundtrack — every track has an HD and a chiptune version that swap seamlessly with the world

MADE FOR MOBILE

• 3 touch layouts — reposition and resize every button to suit your style
• Full game-controller support — touch controls tuck away automatically
• Play the whole game offline — ideal for flights and commutes
• Colorblind modes, haptic feedback, adjustable text size and screen shake
• No ads, no in-app purchases, no account required

The truth is waiting. Put on the shades.
