Yes, the combination of an apocalyptic theme with cute pixel art is amazing.

I love the overall vibe in the #BioMenaceRemastered Demo, which I would describe as "cute EGA city meets apocalypse".

We didn't just rebalance the difficulty in BioMenace Remastered, we also made it possible to switch difficulty - you can start on hard and go down to normal later, for example. The playthrough will be marked as "mixed difficulty" on the leaderboards.

There's an infamous softlock in E2L4 of BioMenace - if you know, you know. We fixed that in the Remaster, as you can see here. We also made level design friendlier on easy and normal difficulties. One of those difficulty tweaks can be seen in this video, can you spot it?

🚨3 days to go!!🚨

We're giving all the sprites & tiles subtle visual upgrades in BioMenace Remastered, not only just a palette change. But if you prefer the original grahics, no worries - you can play the game with the original graphics too. BioMenace Remastered coming out December 18th!

Some changes in BioMenace Remastered are very obvious, like Snake's skin color, but we also made many subtle enhancements. E.g. this floating platform which now has animated blinking lights (static in the original). And it only blinks while moving 😎

👀 Only 8 days to release! 👀

Found an old screenshot (left) from the very beginning of BioMenace Remastered dev - a proof of concept made before any artists joined the team. The game has changed quite a bit since then, and now it's less than two weeks until release (Dec. 18)!

People have been asking us if we can add the possibility to play with the original PC-Speaker sounds. So we did. You can also combine it with music. A lot players that played BioMenace in 1993 experience the game like this. How did you play it?
