Richard and Lucas both have a love of classic pixel art games and always wanted to develop a game of this genre together."We call each other best bud and really wanted to create a game together. We both love classic pixel art games; exploring and discovering cool stuff shooting lots of nasties! So from there the concept was born a game about teamwork battling bad guys and using stupidly powerful weapons and power-ups to do it. A game about good over evil and about friendship overcoming difficulties and kicking bad-guy butt!""We wanted to create an authentic retro experience which draws upon Lucas imaginative ideas for enemies and levels and my admiration & love of classic 80s/early 90s arcade machine games like Contra Ghosts n Goblins Green Beret Mega Man Bionic Commando and more."THE BAD GUYSWe love themed enemies and themed levels; and this is on full display in Best Buds! Each enemy and boss has been lovingly crafted to have a distinct look theme and personality.And we love variety and diversity too - so thats why we pixelated over 100 of them Nasty!
