Retrobattle is made to look and feel like the classic arcade-style NES games, such as Ice Climber and Clu Clu Land. Not only are the sprites limited to three colors each, but the scoring, increasing difficulty, and setup of the game makes for a challenging arcade experience that mixes various oldschool concepts. Note that playing on Skill 1 is pretty boring compared to the havoc of Skill 8, so it may seem slow at first.

This game was originally implemented in Game Maker by Daniel Remar. This is a port of the C++/SDL implementation by Andreas Remar.

The source code of my port is on my github (https://github.com/nop90/Retrobattle). The compiled game (3dsx and CIA formats) is released on github (https://github.com/nop90/Retrobattle/releases).

Enjoy this game ad let me know the bugs you find.
