A charity collaboration 🎉

Super Excidium Event is the result of a collaboration between publisher Mega Cat Studios, the [Video Game Sage] community(https://www.videogamesage.com/) and members of Reddit r/retrogaming. Why so many partners? Quite simply because all profits will be donated to Child's Play, a charity that provides children in hospital with entertainment through video games and therapeutic technologies.

An edgy retro space shoot'em up

This 16-bit game puts you in command of a spaceship capable of firing in four directions - or eight, according to the trailer. Your mission? Repel waves of enemies while battling fearsome bosses who will put your reflexes to the test.

"Set in space, this interstellar epic is a return to the glory days of arcade games that will soothe even the most itchy trigger fingers."

"As intrepid space pilots soar through perilous alien terrain, they exchange fire with swarms of enemy ships and an epic boss bestiary, intent on turning your starfighter to dust " - reads the press release.

Promising trailer

The game was unveiled on 29 November in a colourful trailer that reveals a dynamic game in keeping with the Super Nintendo. You'll have several types of weapon at your disposal, which you can use without restraint in a variety of settings.

"Not only does Super Excidium Event allow players to fend off waves of invaders, it also helps to improve the daily lives of countless children in hospital, thanks to the partnership with Child's Play."

"It's been an amazing experience working on this project. We've created something special with Super Excidium Event, and we can't wait to share it with the retro community. We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed developing it!"
