Beware! This game is really hard! If you like challenges or you don't mind losing A LOT, this game is for you. One simple rule: Shoot only the squares that have the same color as the background (the bad guys). One simple goal: Survive 64.0 seconds. Shoot first, listen later: Reflexes and memory are key to this game. We use rhythm as hints in certain parts, but you should trust more in your eyes. A more formal description: 64.0 is a minimal fast-paced arcade game, where you shoot the squares that have the same color as the background, but since the background is constantly changing, everyone can be a bad guy! Features: Fast-paced action. Awesome chiptune soundtrack. One unique mechanic each level. Endless mode.

Mega Man 11 is the long-awaited sequel to the classic 8-bit series. With an updated visual and accessible gameplay, you can enjoy a story of rivalry between Dr. Light and Dr. Wily, challenging levels and memorable bosses, while using the new Double Gear System to slow down time and increase your power.


What we like:
  • Accessible for fans and newcomers alike
  • Updated visuals
  • Story of rivalry between Drs Light & Wily
  • Adjustable difficulty level
  • New Double Gear System
What could be improved:
  • Might be too easy for hardcore fans

  • Short circuit consequences when overusing Double Gear System
