Retro Gems -This is a nostalgic adventure with the head in the 80s, where the player falls into the pixel world sparkling jewelry, neon lights and an arcade spirit. Here, each level is a digital trip in the time where the main character goes in search of rare retro-flower.
The game is made in an old-school style with pixel-art effects and "gluten" animation. Everything around resembles the good old arcade machines: a flickering screen, characteristic sounds, digital transitions and a light noise of a cassette menu.
The main goal is to find and collect the collection Retro-Dragoener stones , each of which is associated with the era: there is a violet "Synthwave quartz", blue "Bitstone", green "Arcade Emerald" and others. Each stone stores a particle of the past time and opens up new abilities or access to unique zones.
The game has a light, but intriguing plot: the Retro City world gradually disappears, and only a collection of ancient gems can return stability to it. The main character is a digital seeker who should return the energy of the glitter-heart of the city.
Music in Retro Gems is a real holiday for the ears: synthesizers, dramas-machines, loci bits and chiptun elements. Each location has its own mood: from a relaxed lounge to peppy combat rhythms in the SCI-Fi style.
The gameplay is a combination of a platformer, puzzle and a quick reaction. Jump, evade, activate retro devices and solve the problems that are built on the logic of the old school: everything is simple, clear, but with a challenge.
Each level is like a separate entry on an old video camera: your visual filter, its own theme and even menu design. There is a level in the style of a space station, an abandoned disco, an 8-bit forest and even a virtual museum.
The menu, indicators, animations - everything is stylized under the old consoles and arcade machines. Instead of ordinary inventory - a pixel organizer in the form of a gambo. The collection of achievements is decorated as pages from a notebook with stickers.
Each gem that found gives access to new abilities: double jump, acceleration, temporary shift and even hacking glue zone. By combining them, you can open previously inaccessible routes and return to old levels with new capabilities.
In the depths of the world Retro Gems are hidden dozens of Easters - from references to cult games to hidden messages of the developers. Do you like to explore every pixel? Then this game will definitely throw you surprises.
The game is ideal for fans of retro waves, Synthwave and Old-School Arkad. She does not just copy the past - she celebrates it. And he does it with charm, irony and crazy visual aesthetics.
Retro Gems - This is not just a game. This is a love letter to the 8-bit era, purple neon signs and VHS magic. Sit down more comfortably, turn on the music - and go for shining jewelry from the past.
