What players say

Macbat 64 is a charming little 3D platformer that feels like a forgotten Nintendo 64 game. The colorful visuals, simple level design, and nostalgic atmosphere make it a fun and relaxing experience. It's short and doesn't try to do too much, but it knows exactly what it wants to be. A cute little retro-inspired platformer that is easy to recommend if you enjoy the N64 era.

sweet short n64 throwback as usual, I always like when devs make these "collections of ideas", it feels super intent. The first two bonus levels were my highlight, great atmosphere.
