POLYBIUS

History

Oregon Portland 1981

Rumors say there was once a game that took arcades by storm, only to disappear without a trace... You play as a kid in the 80s going to the arcades, only to find a brand new game.

A brand new take 

Polybius is a lost arcade game dating back to around 1981. Featuring rapid-paced levels similar to bullet hell-type games, it had incredible visuals that allegedly caused various side effects in players, even taking several lives.

This game is based on the myth, aiming to create a playable version inspired by the original story and the well-known main menu screenshot from the game.

When will it be available?

Soon, a demo of the game will be released to the public, featuring four levels and an infinite mode. I don't have exact dates because I'm the only developer, so the game's progress depends entirely on my availability outside of college.
