Team A.R.G. Anthology

About

This PC collection bundles three bite-sized titles from the Team A.R.G. roster originally crafted for the Arduboy handheld. Sirene casts you as a mermaid warrior battling through underwater chaos with weapons and agility. Shadow Runner strips platforming down to two buttons, jump and slide, as you race to survive increasingly grueling obstacles. Virus LQP-79 shifts to survival horror, guiding a character through a quarantined town overrun by infected neighbors. Each game leans into retro simplicity with distinct mechanical identities. The anthology shines as a gateway to minimalist design. Shadow Runner’s tight controls and escalating difficulty curve offer pure arcade thrills while Sirene’s cartoonish violence and Virus LQP-79’s tense evasion create contrasting moods. All three maintain a lo-fi charm that feels intentionally throwback rather than outdated. Community support for the original Arduboy titles remains strong years after release proving these short experiences left a lasting impression. The PC port preserves their stripped-down appeal without added fluff.

Storyline

Sirene: It's a tough life living under the sea. For Nina things have become increasingly difficult as other fish have started to act violently. Determined to find out what could be causing such a disturbance, she sets out on an adventure. No mere beauty, Nina is also a fighting mermaid and will use all forms of weaponry to fight her way to the cause of all this trouble! Shadow Runner: “A shadow lost his kid, wondering to far away from the light. Now it must find his colored equal, to become one again.” Shadow Runner is a classic run, jump & duck game. You only need 2 buttons for gaming: one for jumping, one for sliding and you have a pause button too. Your goal? Get as far as possible, jumping over those rocks and ducking under those low flying birds. Watch your life-bar, as it get’s empty faster and faster. If you see a heart, grab it and your life-bar will be filled completely. Virus LQP-79: Amy lived her happy life in a pretty normal town … until that fateful accident at the nearby research facility. Officials denied the incident at first, until the entire facility was abandoned. Neighbors started acting weird. Amy didn’t feel safe anymore. While trying to leave town, she found herself running from a hoard of zombies. What Amy didn't expect, was to find other survivors. Help her escape and rescue the ones not infected by the LQP-79 virus. Hurry!
