I wasn't from the time of playing Atari games but after this game I felt like I was! It is wonderful and fun! And it's amazing the scary feeling that I have with the sound of the wave coming, it made my experience better!

Beachcomber, an Atari 2600 game that never existed!
Play through 3 levels with different mechanics and gameplay. Your main goal is just to score as much as you can.
Each loop makes the game harder to play, so be careful!

Controls
Arrow Keys - Move
Spacebar - Action Button
F2 - Software Reset
I hope you enjoy it. =)

Sensacional!!! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores por esta obra prima, jogo incrível, divertido e claro, trouxe aquela sensação nostálgica maravilhosa. Recomendo a todos!

Obrigado pelo suporte e acima de tudo pelo apoio!
Great game!
It’s a simple, nostalgic, fun experience that feels like it came directly from the 80’s! The gameplay-loop is solid and addicting, and the visual style matches it flawlessly!
Personally recommend it!
You really nailed the Atari 2600 aesthetic. The gameplay is fun enough - considering the blantant nod to old school gaming I can't expect this game to have revolutionizing gameplay. For what it is, it works really well. Some guidance would be nice, I was unsure how to progress past the first level.

Thank you very much for the evaluation, I agree with you, soon I will release a manual explaining and giving more details about the game, thanks again and I hope you play in the next updates :)
Pretty fun game! I couldn't really beat the third level though, I kept dying whenever I tried to jump over the guy.
The graphics and sound definitely feel faithful to an Atari 2600. I'm getting some Pitfall vibes from the visual style and setting. I'd be curious to see if some kind of ancient coding sage could get this up and running on real hardware.

First thanks for playing, I was very inspired by pitfall and jungle hunt. It would be really cool if it ran on an atari 2600, who knows in the near future :)
