Unlicensed

Game Design

2024

Unlicensed is a 2D side-scrolling platformer set in a lawless pixel world of bootleg mascots and off-brand legends. You play as an aspiring fake icon, armed with a kitchen knife and delusions of grandeur, on a mission to take down the Big Three knockoff overlords and claim your spot as the most beloved counterfeit character in the land. Built for Gen Z and Millennial gamers fluent in meme culture and retro chaos, Unlicensed combines classic Mario-style pixel art with fast-paced gameplay and sharp-edged humor. Move with ASD, jump with W, crouch with S, and swing your way to infamy with J—just try not to get sued along the way.
