About this game
ULTIMATE LOCAL MULTIPLAYER RETROGAMING ARCADE Manic Archers is a game that I personally would have liked to play back then, but it was not possible in the 16bit era because of technical limitations. A game that overflows with gems inspired by the arcade 2D high-times - 1000s of sprites and interlocking effects cumulating into a sensory overload of 16bit hype - while keeping that absolute, direct and perfectly controllable arcade grip. It took 2 years to perfect this passion project as a solo-developer. Update Note: all controller problems have been fixed. Note: Manic Archers was in Early Access from March 2021 till its official release on March 20th, 2023 - it was just classified wrong and Steam did not allow to change back to Early Access status.
