In the well-explored realm of platformer games, standing out with unique mechanics can be the key to success. Enter Dino Quake, an upcoming retro platformer set to launch on June 19th, which introduces a novel twist on the genre with its earth-shaking gameplay and a Jurassic flair.
The central mechanic of Dino Quake is both simple and engaging: players must ascend to the top of the levels, then plummet downwards to generate quakes that incapacitate foes. After stunning enemies with these seismic drops, you can then kick them aside to clear your path. This dynamic requires strategic planning for both the ascent and the descent, adding a layer of complexity to the traditional platforming experience.
Dino Quake prides itself on offering 'pure arcade gameplay,' but it goes beyond mere nostalgia. The game features multiple pathways through its worlds, encouraging exploration and discovery. This design choice ensures that each playthrough can offer something new and exciting.
Crunchy!As with classic retro platformers, Dino Quake embraces the aesthetic of the past with vibrant 16-bit graphics and catchy chiptune music. Adding to the depth of the game, players can unlock new characters, enhancing replayability and providing a fresh take on familiar levels.
Excitingly, Dino Quake will be available across multiple platforms, launching on both iOS and Android on June 19th. Whether you're a seasoned platformer or new to the genre, Dino Quake offers a unique challenge where you can literally shake things up with your scaly feet.
