Reset Generation

By Shane | July 14, 2008

Reset Generation, a fast-paced retro multiplayer puzzle game for the N-Gage and PC, claiming to be the “worlds first video game about video games”, is doing some thing different and allowing the community to use all the assets of the game to create their own Flash-based mini-games, videos and machinima. The free assets will include: graphics, music, characters, sounds, voice-overs and much more. We have, in our possession the Soundtrack to Reset Generation free to download which is composed entirely by 8-Bit Weapon who we’ve mentioned in the past.

Every player has a hero: Choose one of ten legendary champions from the high-score halls of videogame lore. Plumber? Hedgehog? Level 50 Elf? Or maybe you’d prefer a dual sub-machinegun-wielding Cyborg? They’re all here, and they’re all ready to rescue …

Every player has a princess. Players must guide their heroes to rescue other players’ princesses. Princesses are everything in Reset Generation: Lose your princess and it’s Game Over, man.

Build a combo road to other heroes’ castles by dropping puzzle blocks. Fire your cannons to defend your own castle from your opponents’ puzzle blocks. Grab legendary items – like the Biggest Freakin’ Gun Possible (BFGP) – to lay the smack on approaching heroes. Zip along your puzzle-block-road and unleash your hero’s special power to rescue the princess!

Reset Generation is a fractured fairy-tale where anything can happen. Reset Generation is a sleek homage where every pixel is stylized, significant. Reset Generation is the game of decades – the entire game is one big Easter Egg, ready to delight players again and again. Reset Generation: For the love of gaming.
