CART KID

Blow the dust off. Three retro games on one old cartridge.

You found your old handheld in a box. It still turns on. Pick a cartridge, blow into it, slide it in — each one is a different game.

The cartridges

1 · Cartridge Board — Survivor

Survive the horde inside a living circuit board. Level up, pick new weapons, open relic chests and build a loadout that carries you through five stages and a final boss.

2 · Drift Kid — Top-down drift racing

A three-race grand prix: Spring Meadow, Maple Woods and Snowpeak. Hold to drift, let go to boost. Win coins, upgrade your car in the garage, buy new paint jobs — and race against the ghosts of your own best laps.

3 · Star Route — Shoot 'em up

A vertical shooter with a roguelite twist. Enemies drop EXP; every level-up lets you recruit a paper-plane wingman (12 kinds: grenades, lasers, homing missiles, boomerangs, black holes…). Open relic chests to stack combos, and take on five bullet-hell bosses.

Theme: Old Tech

The whole game lives on an old handheld: a dusty cartridge slot, a power-on static screen, LCD pixel grid and 4-colour palettes. Every mode is a "cartridge" you plug in.
