89

89 is a straightforward platforming game about running and jumping through levels filled with spikes and pits. It uses one movement button and one jump button, with no run button, and its levels are designed around these limited controls.

Checkpoints and levels

There is one checkpoint in the entire game, halfway through. Until you reach it, dying sends you back to the start; afterward, you return to the halfway point. The levels are designed to challenge experienced players while remaining accessible to newcomers.

Visuals and music

The game uses retro-inspired, 1-bit pixel art with black and white, and occasional yellow accents. Its soundtrack, composed by AV474R, includes upbeat EDM and suspenseful minimalist tracks, along with calming lofi and classical music.

Extra options

• A shader that emulates the look of a CRT television
• An infinite mode with endlessly looping levels
• An inverted-colors option
