Steam Store description

\m/ MetalVania Platformer \m/ Bad Pad is a old school platformer with metroidvania elements. Features Humorous story-line told in songs and animations, those buttons sure can sing! Original guitar driven rock and metal soundtrack that will keep you pumped. Over 12 hours of gameplay and 160 scenes to explore, metroidvania style. Diverse gameplay with cart riding levels, submarine levels, spaceship levels and more. 10 epic boss levels. In-game mini arcade games. Cool pixel art graphics and a retro feel. Tight controls and game mechanics + gamepad support. Use of physics and changing gravity. Environmental puzzles. One item-based inventory system, hey a button doesn't have pockets, deal with it. Three game difficulties to select from. Lots of steam achievements. The wacky premise of Bad Pad is told in songs and is set around a gamepad's buttons who came to life, their endless battles, mind controlling machines and a little bit of time traveling. Join Square in his adventures, survive Evil Pen's hellish castles, help save Hexa and Trapezoid and probably the rest of the world!
