Thursday 15th June, Theale, UK: Bullet has held the corg-key to our heart for a long time, but he’s finally ready to leave the kennel: ProtoCorgi is out now on PC and Nintendo Switch.
To celebrate the occasion, we’ve given our im-paw-sibly cute hero, Bullet, all the treats he could ask for to give him a boost for the journey ahead. However, sadly Bullet mixed up dog years and human years and is turning up fashionably late, so here’s a quick reminder what ProtoCorgi is about: https://youtu.be/fy7PCRob8XU
ProtoCorgi is a retro style pixel art, horizontal shoot ‘em up with arcade gameplay that gives the player control over Bullet, a C3 class (Cute Cybernetic Corgi) cybernetic pup.
When Bullet discovers that Nixie was kidnapped by evil forces seeking galactic domination, the cute, yet deadly Corgi goes on a quest to save her. The adventure ahead fills your screen with fully animated beautiful retro pixel art and lets you experience Bullet’s fights with precise controls, solid gameplay and passionate story.
If you want to build your own obstacle courses for Bullet, give ProtoCorgi’s level editor a try. It offers different backgrounds that you’ll explore while playing the story and gives you access to all kinds of obstacles and enemies to make Bullet’s life a little bit harder while navigating your creation. Obviously, the level editor also lets you place all sorts of enemies in the cybernetic pup’s path to bark up. You can also share your custom levels with other players online.
Shoot, Dodge and Bark your way through in this adorable Bark’em up!
