Visually and auditorially it seems absolutely brilliant:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Inspired by the retro glory days of 8-bit games, Rex Rocket is a traditional 2D platformer brought into the 21st century. Paying tribute to classic NES games like Mario, Mega Man, and Metroid, old-school gamers will find Rex Rocket a breath of fresh air, stirring warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia. Rob and Tyler, two passionate indie game devs, have a mission to keep the world of retro games alive. Rex Rocket features one-of-a-kind handmade pixel art, over 100 handcrafted levels connected in an expansive starship filled with a wide variety of puzzles, enemies, hazards and bosses. To top it off, we have an an original, kick-ass chiptunes soundtrack by Saskrotch. Creating this universe and the memorable characters in this game has been a true labor of love.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nIf that&#8217;s not enough to get you pumped, how about this video?<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ox9cCJ3bJEY<br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What on earth are you waiting for?
