Press release:
San Francisco, CA –November 22, 2021.
The US-based indie game development studio Universal Entities are today very pleased and thrilled to announce that their retro-like 2D pixel action game “Laserboy” is now available for PC via Steam.
“Laserboy is a remaster of the iconic video game by Catfun Corp, originally created for the Funvision Entertainment System. Thought until recently to have been forever lost to time, the game has been painstakingly rebuilt and faithfully recreated from the ground up.” – Universal Entities
In Laserboy, you guide Buddy through 13 top-down levels filled with destructible objects, forbidden secrets, and a cast of friendly and not-so-friendly characters. The catch? You shoot an uncontrollable tactical laser beam out of your eye every few seconds. Play tactically or destroy everything — the choice is yours but not everything is what it seems.
Features:
– 13 top-down 2D pixel-perfect levels
– Original 8-bit music
– Destructible objects
– Easy to play, hard to master.
– Tons of unlockable achievements
– Hidden lore and more
Play how you want: destroy everything or try to keep the damage to a minimum
