How it feels
Channeling retro arcade chaos and exaggerated nerd rage, this is a frantic pixel art platformer where you blast through zombie-filled levels with over-the-top action.

What players say
Players are split. Fans say it captures the Nerd's chaotic spirit with fun and frustration, but many call it a step down from earlier entries. Complaints center on cheap level design, limited invincibility leading to chain hits, and the removal of a promised NES ROM file.
