Kid Tripp retro game coming to iOS


Kid Tripp is a fast paced, aggressively difficult platformer featuring lovingly-crafted pixel art and an original upbeat retro soundtrack that matches the game's quick pace.


The simple, finely tuned control system will feel familiar to players of 2D autorunning games on touch screen devices: tap on the left to jump, tap on the right to attack. Kid Tripp puts a fresh spin on the controls, however, by adding the ability to run faster by simply holding your thumb down on the right side of the screen. This makes for a much more dynamic and challenging experience, and will instantly feel familiar to fans of classic NES platformers such as Adventure Island and Super Mario Bros.


Kid Tripp features twenty levels spread across four unique worlds, and throughout them players will encounter a wide variety of baddies and traps, ride minecarts, race across slippery ice, and even escape an erupting volcano. Levels are short but sweet, designed to be difficult and requiring repeated attempts to pass each one. Multiple playthroughs are encouraged, and the game features four different Game Center leaderboards and twelve achievements to keep players coming back for more.

Kid Tripp was created by Mike Burns, and has been in development for the past two years. The game's sountrack was composed by Chris Kukla.
