About Planet Arcade: A light-hearted, casual adventure game in the style of a retro RPG. Explore an 8-bit land, and check out everything you see! In place of battles, key plot points are advanced through minigames, some of which are stylistic tributes to classic arcade games, all of which are... somewhat ridiculous.
