Endless Challenge Mode

Endless Challenge Mode pushes players through randomly generated rooms teeming with lethal enemies and deadly hazards. After conquering 10 stages, you'll face a grueling boss encounter. If you manage to come out on top, you'll gain access to the Game Weenie's shop, where you can purchase a variety of randomized items to aid you in your next, progressively more difficult run. Packed with power-ups to master and added polish and refinements to the base game, this update also includes a few nods to Programancer's previous release, Prison City, and the upcoming love letter to Castlevania, The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest, making it the perfect excuse for players to jump back in and experience everything The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit has to offer.
