Pixel Ripped 1995 (2020), the ’90s nostalgia-soaked sequel to VR adventure Pixel Ripped 1989 (2018), just got a free update that’s bringing a bunch of new content to the game.

Called ‘The Ultimate Challenge’, the update is said to include new features, challenges and rewards that aims to “improve the replayability value of the base game, as well as make all of the 6 levels more diversified and adaptable to many different styles of play,” developers ARVORE say.

The update includes:

  • Hardcore Mode: Test your skills across all six levels in a new difficulty mode with tougher enemies and challenges!
  • Golden Cartridges: Find hidden collectables spread across all levels to unlock super-secret content! Rumor has it that something special might happen at the end of the game…
  • New Ripped Boost ability: This special move makes Dot super powerful when she gathers enough pixels and allows hardcore players and speed-runners to devise new strategies for clearing each level.
  • Dot outfits: Unlock new armors for Dot that give bragging rights to true Pixel Ripped fans!
  • Pixel Doors: Explore alternative routes that will only open for the best players!
  • Interactive comic book: A fully original Pixel Ripped story added to David’s room.

We gave Pixel Ripped 1995 a very respectable [8.5/10] in our review earlier this year for its awesome mid-90s atmosphere and ability to serve up a variety of 16-bit and early 32-bit mini-games while maintaining a cool ‘game-within-a-game’ metanarrative. Although cartoony, it truly felt like slipping through a time portal back into 1995 (albeit as a little kid).

The Ultimate Challenge now live on Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift and SteamVR platforms. ARVORE says the update is coming “soon” to PSVR.

    I lost my job after operating for the same company for many years, I wanted legitimate gain, I was not seeking for the “get rich quick” home kits you actually see througout the net. Those are actually pyramid systems or things that you have to sell to your friends and members of the family. Just a few months back I stumbled upon a excellent online job prospect. By going online I get between 8,000-9,000 Dollars every 4 weeks It really is ideal to quite easily replace my prior workplace earnings, especially considering I simply just work about 20 hour weekly at home. I simply wanted a legitimate method to generate profits for me as well as my family. The best part of doing business via internet is that I am always home with the little kids, I save a large amount. Genuinely, it is easier than you could imagine. I got the instruction manuals package and then within a month I began earning over 4,000 dollars each and every month. The guidelines are extremely simple, you don’t have to be a computer whiz, but you should know how to use the internet. If you are able to fill up forms and also surf internet sites, you can actually do it quite easily, You don’t even have to sell off something and no one have to buy something. It is as easy as using Facebook or twitter.Here’s the simplest way to start –> https://krowdy.co/9fof
