2in1

About

2in1 packs two bite-sized arcade games into one retro package designed for the Commodore VIC-20. The first game UFO RUSH challenges you to dodge obstacles using two keys of your choice, left/right combinations vary depending on which buttons you pick. Survive long enough to hit four points and you unlock BOMBER, a simpler but tense landing game where pressing any key controls your descent. Both games rely on quick reflexes and minimal inputs making them easy to pick up but tricky to master. Running on a vintage platform adds to the charm while the clever use of limited hardware shows off the developer’s ingenuity. Created for the BASIC 10Liner contest this title earned a 4.5 out of 5 from fellow retro developers. The simplicity of its controls paired with the challenge of each mode makes it a quick but satisfying play session. Fans of old-school programming creativity and no-frills arcade action will find it nostalgic yet refreshingly direct.
