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.
