Players will be completing seven different games each with their own varied challenges and boss fights. Additionally, there is also an adventure mode featuring a new story co op multiplayer as well.
Creator of the game, Gaichi Suda noted, “we decided that we wanted to go for a really arcade feel for the game, similar to stuff like Gauntlet–or rather like Smash TV. That sort of helped define how the game would play.”
“The theme this time with the game is that Travis is going into these different game worlds and finding his way through them. I also want it to be sort of a journey through game history itself, and all the games I played as a kid really influenced me in forming that.”
