Punch, kick and body slam your way through the levels

Last Beat: Enhanced is a pixel art, side-scrolling beat 'em up with plenty of retro value.

Punch, kick and body slam your way through the levels as you try to keep the streets clean.

Don't forget to destroy any dustbins in the level as they hide special items including money and weapons.

Race your motorbike at full speed in the bonus stages

It's pretty much a by-the-numbers side-scrolling street fighter game with a ton of charm. There are elements of sci-fi in this game. One of the playable characters is a giant shell less turtle like creature.

It might not keep you entertained for very long, or in long doses, but played in short bursts you'll be returning time and time again to try and beat your own score. It's also way more fun in 2-player co-op mode.

A lovingly crafted slice of retro fun that won't break the bank.
