Wink’s never been this retro before
Explore a lush post-apocalyptic world while using your laser powers to help a broken robot recover all its pieces. 9 worlds filled with levels, secrets, and a huge map to explore. Shoot enemies with your laser while collecting coins and mysterious ancient treasures like floppy disks and cassette tapes, plus powerups that give you special abilities, like shooting left and right at the same time and transforming into a milkweed seed to float slowly to the ground
Wink is taking inspiration from Gameboy classics like Super Mario Land 2 and Link’s Awakening, but doing its own little thing. It has been described as a “cross between Megaman and Kirby”. Regardless of the comparisons, Wink has its own personality and a crazy little world to explore all its own
