Metabolis

About

Metabolis casts you as a bird tasked with fending off alien-like Kremins to save humanity. You navigate a surreal world full of hazards and secrets, gathering tools to progress through shifting environments. The gameplay balances platforming challenges with resource management as you uncover the game’s quirky narrative. Released on New Year’s Eve 1985, the game hit Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum at a time when platformers were still finding their footing. Its blend of oddball charm and varied level designs earned it a cult following. Though basic by modern standards, the brisk action and cheeky tone keep it engaging for retro gamers.
