When an evil force comes to invade the earth, just as it has in countless other dimensions, it’s time for the Portalnauts to join forces and take on this shadowy menace before the universe is lost! Players will travel through the game recruiting and unlocking characters to help tackle the increasingly challenging worlds and unique bosses that lie within.

Inspired by 16-bit classics like Mega Man X, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Revenge of Shinobi and more, Portalnauts aims to capture the feel of the early 90s classics while bringing modern standards to time-tested gaming mechanics.

One man development team GamesPlusJames (James Doyle) has launched a kickstarter campaign, looking for $14,040, to finish development on Portalnauts.

There is a playable demo of the game for both windows & Mac showing some of the game’s main mechanics available.
