About This Game

Pick your retro style and enjoy this ultimate run and gun throwback!

You vs. monsters

B.I.O.T.A. is an intense 2D action-platformer, in which you command a team of mercenaries and investigate a mining colony infected by an alien plague. Explore a pixel art world packed with mutant monsters and deadly traps. Try to survive using a multitude of guns and various crafts, including a mech, a sub, and a starship.

The best of both worlds

B.I.O.T.A. mixes the charm of retro games (including two-pixel breathing animations) with the modern-day convenience of full controller support, quick saves, customizing the visuals at any time, and a soundtrack so chippy that you’ll want to record a cassette mixtape and listen to it on your Walkman.
