BZZZT - 2023 DEMO
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
BZZZT - Exclusive 2023 FREE DEMO for PC/Mac/Linux!
This 2023 BZZZT demo was released exclusively here on the Itch.io platform to gather additional players' feedback before the full game release. It contains new & never-seen stages and cutscenes.
I hope you will find my game entertaining!
Bzzzt is a fast-paced "jump-dash-run" retro game with a fresh and modern design made almost single-handedly by one solo developer, Karel Matejka, known as Ko.dll.
Inspired by the 80's tech revolution, this beautiful pixel-art precision platformer transports you back in time with a brand new adventure, paying homage to the popular and much loved gaming designs of the past.
The year is 4096.
In a top-secret laboratory, inventive Doctor Emily and world-renowned Professor Norbert are working on a highly classified project. Through their joint research and intellect, they finally created a tiny robot with a big AI personality! No larger than a regular household toaster, but with some extraordinary skills, ZX8000 is ready to save the world, one platform challenge at a time!
Meanwhile, other dark influences are at play in the world of Bzzzt. The evil mad scientist, Badbert, prepares to unleash his nefarious plans upon an unsuspecting world as soon as he finds the perfect equilibrium of darkness, malice and madness. Bwahahaha.
Grab your controller or keyboard and navigate ZX8000 to complete his missions and thwart Badbert's evil plans!

Win64 version works great, but it is not digitally signed, so it`ll bring you red screen of annoynment. No virus though, don`t be afraid of that (game is great! :D )
I can try to find a way to sign it digitally. Thanks for letting me know.
