Description

A homebrew platformer inspired by an incredibly hard game called "I Wanna be the Guy". Battle Kid is only slightly easier in that there are few 'hidden' dangers. Everything is usually laid out where the player can see. Werther the danger is recognized by the player is another matter. There is only one hitpoint and one life. There is the occasional password checkpoint 'save'. The screens do not scroll, this is by design. Leaping from screen to screen without ever being sure what to expect keeps the player on their toes. All the music is original compositions exclusive to this game.

SIV-BK-GBL is the standard version
SIV-BK1-LE is the limited edition signed and numbered version, only 33 manufactured.
