What is 20XX?

20XX is a 2D action platformer built around runs through randomly generated stages. You jump, shoot, collect powers, and fight bosses under a loose save-humanity premise. Death sends you back to headquarters, where you can buy upgrades for later runs; you can play alone or cooperatively, locally or online.

For you if...

+you enjoy fast platforming with shooting and boss fights
+you want to tackle runs with a friend
+you like daily challenges and adjustable difficulty

Not for you if...

−you want handcrafted stages rather than random layouts
−you dislike starting over when your character dies

What players say
