Inspired by the classic games that shaped the genre, BZZZT promises a nostalgic yet innovative gaming experience for players of all ages.
Welcome to the Year 4096
Embark on an extraordinary journey in the futuristic world of BZZZT, where you play as the ingenious robot ZX8000. Created in a top-secret laboratory by the brilliant minds of Doctor Emily and Professor Norbert, ZX8000 is no bigger than a household toaster, but he comes equipped with a big AI personality and an extraordinary mission—to save the world from the evil mad scientist, Badbert.
Set against a backdrop of cunning traps and treacherous platform challenges, players must guide ZX8000 through dangerous environments to thwart Badbert’s sinister plans. As players navigate through levels filled with deadly obstacles, they’ll unravel the story and see if they can keep the world from descending into chaos.
