Get geared up with mechs and grenades and more

Biota - a small pixelated player in a yellow and navy 8 bit palette stands behind a large turret gun looking at two enormous bee enemies.

You can spot all that action down here in Biota’s trailer or just take it out for a spin yourself in the demo.

Metroid ‘em ups are often the bane of my existence but even I’m a sucker for a swell soundtrack and a color palette swapper. Biota has all that plus some modern niceties. Most important, for my fellow pathetic platformers, is the ability to save just about whenever you like. You can also teleport out of the mines back to base to heal up. It’s action-y, but with a bit less pressure than the real classics.

You can snag Biota’s demoon SteamandGOG. The full game is planned to launch later in 2021.
