As the Homeless Aventures start, you find yourself in the near future, playing as old ex-movie stars and superheroes, who have aged, lost their jobs, and become homeless.
Their headquarters of all Homeless Adventurers is located in an old gym; they spend their days pumping up iron and remembering old good times, but as always, some evil comes, this time from the past, another dimension, and now, the world can be saved only by the Homeless brigade.
Homeless Adventurers are set to happen in 10+ well-known locations worldwide; each location will have 10-20 sub-levels, with a couple of sub-bosses and location bosses that need to be conquered proceed.
Game mechanics are simple but challenging at the same time. Any enemy hit is lethal (some powerups can disable it for a moment), there are trash cans that can be kicked, if so, it will flip over, the character will switch to another, and +1 life will be acquired.
Any level will feature a checkpoint, so upon death, if some lives are left, characters will respawn there. Also, a huge set of additional power-ups will be featured, as they will help to move forward at the most difficult parts of the game.
As with any proper arcade game, this will include achievements and an overall score. The scoreboard will be global across all the platforms, so it will encourage players to compete to hit the top of the board. Some prizes could be added to award the top-10 of them.
Several modes will be introduced - single player, multiplayer(both from one device and online), PVP challenges, arcade mode.
Pixel art dates back to the 1970s, but it largely became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Adding a retro flavor to game art by choosing a limited number of pixels to emphasize the individual squares has become a new trend in the gaming industry and has gained momentum in recent years. One of the biggest reasons gamers worldwide embrace pixel art games, like Super Mario Bros and Shovel Knight, is that they evoked childhood nostalgia when most graphics were created using 8-bit Pixel Art.
