London – Is Paperboy back? Heck no, this is The Videokid, a bodacious new retro skategame from Pixel Trip Studios.
Test your skills to the max with this gnarly & challenging arcade style skate game set in a retro 1980s neighbourhood filled with bogus dangers…
Players can skate, hitch and grind their way through hazardous streets; dodging 80s bikes, cars, trucks, trains & more. The Videokid is jam-packed with 80s nostalgia filled with classic moments from everyone’s favourite movies, TV shows and cartoons. The further players get, the more epic the references become!
The goal is simple: avoid being busted by the cops, pull off sick tricks and complete crazy combos to earn bonuses; all whilst trying to stay alive just long enough to deliver the pirate video round and get the girl in time! From retro style sound effects, to the radical 8bit inspired soundtrack (written by DJ Savant) the Videokid pays pure homage to classic arcade games of the golden era.
Also, in tribute to the arcades, the first 25 players to beat the game will join the elite and have their high scores proudly displayed on the online leaderboard at www.videokidgame.com.
