A downloadable game

STORY

Retro Robbins, our 8-bit superhero and part-time fearless assassin, is on an urgent mission. 

Armed with his trusty flat-cap and insatiable appetite for all things retro,

he must now frantically search for new and interesting items to make his next YouTube channel the best!

As luck would have it, everyone at Crash Towers has gone away on holiday, giving him the chance to 

sneak in and use his ninja-like skills to nab as many retro gems as possible!

GAMEPLAY

To explore Crash Towers and its surroundings fully,

Retro Robbins will need to bypass electrified barriers that will

need to be deactivated. Watch out for the high-tech drones, 

robots and security cameras that are protecting the building and

the retro items you are searching for.

TIPS

To hide under your trusty flat-cap and keep hidden and safe   

(Press the DOWN Key or DOWN DIRECTION on your Joystick). 

Pulling levers will disable barriers.

The top of the screen shows how many times you've been Busted, 

how many Micro items you've Blitzed and how many are left to collect.

The music changes and the border will flash when all 15 objects have been collected 

signaling your hasty retreat out of the building using the ESCAPE EXIT.

If you get busted to many times you will get thrown into Crash Towers Dungeons!!

Hi!!!. I understand that what is published here on Itch.io is a demo, and that to get the full version of the game, one needs to buy the physical edition. Am I correct?

Thank you for your work; the game looks fantastic.
