Play as The Nerd in an action platformer set in the Angry Video Game Nerd universe.
Move through pixel-art levels filled with zombies, mechanical skeletons, ghoulish reapers, and other themed enemies. Platforming includes sliding beneath platforms, collecting power-ups, and choosing alternate routes toward boss rooms. Multiple levels feature bosses inspired by the AVGN universe.
