A high action, run 'n gun, boss frenzy, 16-bits, pure Treasure explosion filled festival!
Published (or updated) in November 1st, 2019.Steam Heart is very cool retro run and gun made as a tribute to classic Treasure’s games, like Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier. Imagine it as long lost Mega Drive/Genesis short game.
Created by SinclairStrange in under 72 hours, Steam Heart started out as a Ludum Dare jam game (it was made for Ludum Dare 36), but slowly evolved into to an all out, high action experience that aims to capture that lovely 16-bit spirit!
Presented as a high action, run ‘n gun, boss frenzy, 16-bits, pure Treasure explosion filled festival, Steam Heart gives you the opportunity to explode your way through over seven action packed levels, filled with many many boss fights, enemies and gimmicks. Pumped with a pure Genesis/Mega Drive-like filling soundtrack, Steam Heart will cater to those who grew up on these types of games.
Note that we already had a Flash version of Steam Heart, which can be played directly in your browser, but it’s also good to provide a downloadable alternative.
