Together with publisher Assemble, Munich-based developer Solar Powered Games released the pixel-art survival retro game Highrisers on Steam on July 15. In it, you lead a team of four survivors through an urban wasteland of abandoned skyscrapers and high-rises, where the streets are crowded with the mutated victims of a mysterious disease. Humanity has been ravaged by a mysterious prion disease that traps the infected in an eternal dream. Unable to wake up again, they transform into the mysterious Dreamers: sleepwalking, zombie-like creatures that shun the light. Four survivors are trapped on top of a skyscraper. To survive, they must be resourceful and work together. When you purchase the Save the World Edition of Highrisers, publisher Assemble will donate 10% of the proceeds to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) for humanitarian aid in Yemen. Also, follow Solar Powered Games on Twitter – where you can currently find lots of pixel art animations and graphics straight from the game.
