Game Description
Black Future ’88, also known simply as Black Future 88, is a 2D action shooter that throws you into a pixelated post-apocalyptic world. The goal? Climb a constantly changing tower, blast through enemies, and face off against a boss who’s anything but friendly. If you enjoy roguelike challenges and couch co-op, this might catch your interest. But beware—this game isn’t one to take lightly.
