Beefarunna playtest

by zinkem

The alien invasion has subsided, and Ash has to get off the couch to buy some groceries. Unfortunately, the El Camino broke down on the way to the MeggaMart.  Run, jump, and slide your way to a complete cowbell collection in Beefrunna (or: Super Beefarena).

It's free to ask. The developer chooses who gets in.

About Beefarunna

BEEFARUNNA is a retro 2d run n' jump platformer full of slides, bounces, and several modes of flying through the air to collect cowbells, steaks, and sodas.

The bovine invasion is over, and Ash doesn't have much to do. While on a visit to Meggamart, the El Camino breaks down and Ash must go on a run to get back in shape to make it home... he may find a few straggling insurgents hiding in the caves of alphalphastan!

This followup to Beefarena offers traditional retro scrolling gameplay with 8 worlds and a whole bunch of new abilities to try out!
